Come Visit!

The Board of Directors reviews the policy on the accommodation for visiting yachts annually.  The policy endeavours to be consistent with the traditional values and customs associated with yachting.  At the same time, it reflects the policies adopted by reciprocating clubs and other practical considerations particular to TYC. 

Current Season Visitor Policy

1. Full status members from clubs on the current year Trident Yacht Club Reciprocal List are allowed to dock their vessel overnight at TYC subject to space availability and the limits set out below (Reciprocal Yacht Policy).
2. Non-reciprocal guests of TYC members may dock their vessel overnight for up to 4 nights per boating season at the rate of $1.25 per foot, subject to space availability.
3. For more information on rates, see below (Services and Charges).

Availability of Visitor Docks

• There are no permanent visitor docks at TYC.
