"The club was founded under the name the Arichat Boat Club [and] was incorporated under the name Isle Madame Boat Club [in 1986].� "Through the generosity of Clem Boucher and his family and that of Virginia Garrison, land was donated and assembled to create the IMBC. In addition, the old government wharf, part of the site, was purchased from the Crown and functioned as a breakwater to protect the first iteration of the marina."

Isle Madame is an Acadian community, and the yellow star must reflect that - the yellow star on the French tricolour being the Acadian flag.
