Overnight Boating Trips

Members of the COBC are welcome to the many weekend overnight trips that are organised throughout the year with the highlight being the Annual COBC Otematata Easter Weekend that attracts around thirty boats and their families (approximatly one hundred people) and is a hive of activity for the many children of all ages in the club. This is a well organised weekend and welcome to all members. Dont forget your petrol as the boat will spend more time in the water than on the land this weekend, with planned events including waterskiing, fishing, poker run... the list goes on. The meals are great and the entertainment continues right into the night. Not to be missed, see you there.
