The Community Boating Center is a 501(c)3 nonprofit fostering safe small-boat recreation on Bellingham Bay. The CBC was founded by a core of local small-watercraft enthusiasts in 2007. The CBC is not a club. There are no memberships and no dues. Programs and services are available to all. Much-appreciated tax-deductible donations, season-pass sales, dry-moorage fees, and rentals of sailboats and human-powered watercraft enable the CBC to provide the safety and skills education that is the core of the organization’s mission.

We had lots of fun on the bioluminesce kayak tour! Our guides, Brianna and Shane, were very helpful and informative.

My family and I have taken a variety of CBC’s programs, individually and together, and have loved them all. The instructors always teach thoroughly, are respectful, and have fun. CBC is gem - it’s worth participating in anything they offer!
