Capital City Yacht Club has an extensive history dating back to early World War II when the club was organized as a civil defense unit. Over time the purpose and objectives of the Club have changed to meet the needs of its members and the community it serves. Today the Capital City Yacht Club is one of the premier yacht clubs on south Vancouver Island providing facilities and activities for its 300 active and social members.

Capital City Yacht Club has a very active membership.  The club is run entirely by volunteers who donate their time in a variety of ways, which helps keep our club operating smoothly and looking good.  There is always a talent that can be put to good use with such a diverse club.

Capital City Yacht Club is located on the southeast side of Blue Heron Basin, on the west side of Tsehum Harbour, Sidney BC. There are 50 feet of wharfage at the visitor’s dock and extra moorage available during the summer when member slips are vacant. Beware! There are sticks marking the channel to get to the yacht club. Depths are near 5 feet at low tide. (Note that this is not at zero tide, so depths may be even shallower!)
