For over 130 years, Britannia Yacht Club has provided a quick and easy escape from urban Ottawa into lakeside cottage country that unbelievably is just fifteen minutes from downtown.

Members of all ages can enjoy sailing, tennis, swimming, childrens’ programs and other outdoor activities, as well as great opportunities and events for socializing.

Britannia Yacht Club has a long history of producing outstanding sailors. Our nationally acclaimed junior sailing program (Learn to Sail) is certified by the Canadian Yachting Association and is structured to nurture skills, self discipline and personal achievement in a fun environment.

Britannia Yacht Club has affiliations with clubs across Canada and the United States so members can enjoy other facilities when they travel.

Fees

2022/2023 BYC Mooring Fee Schedule

Moorings in the harbour are charged based on the width of the mooring. A mooring of a given size (e.g. 12 feet) will accommodate a boat whose beam is two feet less than the mooring size (e.g. 10 feet). Dry sail moorings (for dinghies and other boats stored out of the water) are charged a rate based on either the type of boat (e.g. Laser or Sailboard), or by a weight limit. Initiation fees for wet moorings may be paid over four years.

Mooring fees include winter storage, spring launch and fall haulout. BYC has holding tank pump out facilities, free to members, as well as gas, diesel, and fresh water at the service dock.
