. . . A Toronto Sailing Club Where Members and Guests Can Be at Home on the Water
Ashbridge’s Bay Yacht Club (ABYC), one of Toronto’s premier sailing clubs for both novice and experienced sailors, is built on activity, on the water and ashore. Our members are involved in racing, cruising, and day-sailing during the boating season and participate in a diverse range of social events throughout the year. We’re a family-friendly club with activities and facilities for all ages.
Known for its spacious clubhouse with bar and restaurant in the heart of Toronto’s Eastern Beaches community, ABYC is also recognized throughout the Lake Ontario region and beyond for running major championship racing regattas, for nurturing sailors young and old through its highly respected sailing school, and for offering great camaraderie through cruising, parties and other events.
At Ashbridge’s Bay Yacht Club, it’s all about sailing and life on the water, and all about fun.
