We work closely with local, international schools and organisations to offer training facilities and professional courses, including RYA accredited powerboat courses and Youth/Adult HKSF (The Sailing Federation of Hong Kong, China) courses.

Besides racing and regattas, Hebe Haven Yacht Club supports local charities through a number of our well-attended events which involve not only members, but also members of the public, the community, volunteers, sailors and non-sailors.
