Island Yacht Club – No Initiation Fees

Island Yacht Club

The Island Yacht Club introduces no initiation fees for New Boating and Social Memberships. Nestled in Blockhouse Bay, one of the prettiest coves in the Toronto Islands, the IYC offers a multi-cultural club with a family oriented atmosphere where you can swim in the pool, play tennis, dine casually or elegantly, or take to the waterways by sail, powerboat or kayak. Relax in the clubhouse while enjoying spectacular sunsets framed by mature trees. Their private tender whisks you on a scenic journey, from Queen’s Quay, across the Toronto Harbour, through Blockhouse Bay, and onto Muggs Island.

The Island Yacht Club offers both boating and social memberships. For boaters, the club accommodates all boat sizes and provides full marine services. Get your boat hauled out, repaired, stored, and launched by travel-lift  at our secure location, on your schedule, by professional staff.
