Visitors Mooring

Queen City Yacht Club is a small self-help club and a desirable destination point for many yachts.  In spirit, Queen City Yacht Club supports the concept of sharing our facilities with reciprocating Yacht Clubs everywhere.  As such we have established ourselves as a “True Reciprocal” club. A visiting yacht will receive what the visiting yacht’s home yacht club provides to a visiting QCYC yacht.  In the case of another true reciprocal club, the default is three nights free, for a maximum of three nights per visit. List of Reciprocal Yacht Clubs.

 Due to our size constraints and popularity (we welcome approximately 600 visitors per season) we do ask that visitors respect a few limitations:

1. QCYC does not have the facilities to accept or manage reservations.We ask that a visitor always identify themselves by flying their club Burgee when entering our lagoon and show their Club Membership card when signing in for overnight stays.  A membership card is considered to be the only valid proof of membership.
2. Except in exceptional circumstances, we ask that visitors limit their stay to no more than three consecutive nights and no more than two visits per year.
3. Checkout time is 12:00 noon.
4. Queen City Yacht Club limits these privileges to other Yacht Clubs with which we have reciprocal privileges.
