Welcome to the Collins Bay Yacht Club

Our club is a vibrant association of boat owners operating from the Collins Bay Marina and we offer a full round of activities for all boating enthusiasts in a setting which provides easy access to both Lake Ontario and the Thousand Islands. Collins Bay is a short 30 minute sail just west of the venue for the 1976 Olympic sailing courses and provides some of the best fresh-water sailing in Canada. In 2012 we successfully hosted the Eastern Yachting Circuit Regatta

Collins Bay Yacht Club has a weekly Thursday night club race program and several challenging distance races each season as well as an active cruising schedule of both the weekend type and a week-long cruise each year. Reciprocity with many other clubs provides members with destination sailing and ensures a steady stream of fellow boaters to the area each year.

There is a full social calendar to promote fellowship amongst the members which includes several off-season events as well as many during the boating season.

The club operates a sailing school for both youth and adults while also providing summer employment for Sail Canada qualified instructors.

We hope you will consider membership in our club, particularly if you are based in Collins Bay Marina. When cruising the area from other clubs, please pay us a visit. Check out our Calendar of Events for the current year and you will see that our schedule is packed with activities for every type of boater.
