The Royal Canadian Yacht Club is a historic member organization based in Toronto, Ontario, that offers yachting and related sport and social activities through two venues. It traces its origins to 1852 as the Toronto Boat Club and was renamed in 1854 with the approval of Queen Victoria, reflecting its maritime heritage on Lake Ontario. Today, the club operates year-round from the Island Clubhouse on the Toronto Islands and the City Clubhouse in downtown Toronto, integrating waterfront programs with city-based facilities. Its programming includes sailing development for juniors and competitive racing, along with other sports such as squash, tennis, and fitness, complemented by social events suitable for members of all ages. In December 2021, RCYC announced the appointment of two new directors to its senior leadership team, indicating ongoing governance updates.
