The club re-evaluates safety protocols using Ottawa Public Health guidance.

Our season launch pass is $135.00 per boat per season.

Payment for use of the launch ramp is by cash only.

The RYC welcomes visitors. We have a limited number of transient slips/moorings available on a first come first serve basis. More information for visiting boaters can be found here on our visitor page.
