The Barrachois Harbour Yacht Club (BHYC) was founded in 1996[1] and is a private, registered, not-for-profit yacht club located in Barrachois Harbour, northern Nova Scotia, Canada, 1.58 nautical miles east-northeast of the village of Tatamagouche, with access to the Northumberland Strait across Amet Sound.

In 1996, six boats on moorings near the Barrachois Harbour Fishermen's wharf, about 200 yards west of where the marina is now located, formed Barrachois Harbour Yacht Club.

BHYC's home, Sunrise Shore Marina (formerly Barrachois Marina), was opened 6 July 1997 by Dana and Mary Hunter of nearby Lower Waugh's River.

The original capacity of the marina was 64 slips with all floating docks and finger piers, as well being the only source of dockside gasoline on the north shore of Nova Scotia between the New Brunswick border and Pictou.

BHYC offers racing and cruising programs as well as online resources for powerboats and sailing vessels, in addition to being a comprehensive source for marine weather, (with real-time radar loop), tide times and waypoint information in addition to facility contacts for the Northumberland Strait and the Bras d'Or Lake area of Cape Breton Island.
