Visitor Information
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:
