Welcome to the Royal Victoria Yacht Club
With over 120 years of rich history, the RVYC is the oldest yacht club in western Canada. Our main clubhouse and marina is located on the protected waters of Cadboro Bay, while our Tsehum Harbour marina is located along the premium shores of Sidney’s inner waterfront. Our club offers fun, friendly and affordable atmosphere; a place to race all kinds of sailboats; a place to start your cruise or family adventure; a place to have fun with families and friends; a place to simply get away!
