The 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

Location
Capital City Yacht Club is
located on the south east side of Blue Heron
Basin, which is on the west side of Tsehum
Harbour, Sidney BC. There is 50 feet of
wharfage at the visitor's dock, as well as
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!)
