Royal Canadian Yacht Club

Royal Canadian Yacht Club

Royal Canadian Yacht Club is a boating club based in Toronto.

It was founded in 1852 as the Toronto Boat Club, a recreational club and unofficial auxiliary of the Royal Navy on Lake Ontario. In 1854, the club successfully petitioned Queen Victoria for the right to call itself Royal. Since it was the first yacht club in Canada to apply for the Royal designation, it became the Royal Canadian Yacht Club. In 1878, it received permission from the British Admiralty to use the Blue Ensign. In 1881, it moved from the Toronto waterfront to the Toronto Islands after building a clubhouse on ten acres of reclaimed marsh land. Today, the RCYC is Canada’s premier sailing and social clubs with an emphasis on family participation, the development of our junior sailors and a Corinthian attitude towards excellence in sailing.

The club has two locations:

Island Club is on South Island in the Toronto Islands with:

* Docks and dry sailing for over 450 boats
* Marine chandlery and maintenance services
* Complete marine repair and servicing
* Four tennis courts
* Lawn bowling
