The Comox Valley Yacht Club is a recreational boating organization with over 180 members focused on cruising and fun rather than formality or competition. They describe their culture as down-to-earth and informal, welcoming sailors, powerboat owners, and even people who are currently between vessels. The emphasis is on enjoying being out on the water with others who share that interest.

The club distinguishes itself by operating without permanent facilities like a marina or clubhouse, which keeps membership costs significantly lower than traditional yacht clubs while maintaining an accessible, social atmosphere. Activities include cruising expeditions and social events like their annual Christmas party. Members stay connected through “The Working Channel,” a blog that facilitates club communications and coordination.

The club is designed for recreational boaters of varying experience and vessel types who want to connect with others, organize group outings, and enjoy the social side of boating without the overhead of expensive facilities. If you own a boat or are interested in boating in the Comox Valley, it’s an affordable and welcoming option for getting out on the water with a community of like-minded people.
