Kingston Yacht Club Review

Enjoyed myself. Staff were friendly with great dockside tables. Menu could be improved and the building is a little worn-down. Overall positive experience

NO AIR CONDITIONING!! it was stifling upstairs even with all the windows open

Absolutely stunning view of the river. Not that often the wind and sun play nicely together. I m
Recovering from an accident I broke my ankle and on crutches. The people
We re friendly and kind, we re generous to offer places to sit! Very appreciative. I ll return before I leave and include some
More pics and hopefully some aerial shots too!

Beautiful club with great facility. I have visited twice as a sailing coach and had a fantastic friendly experience for me and for my race team.
However, I visited last year while I was in Kingston for work and thought it would be nice to pop by on a weekly keelboat race night. I introduced myself as an out-of-towner and ordered a beer at the bar. I put my name on the "crew for hire" board, hoping to get out on the water, maybe even one of the many boats in the Shark fleet.
After about 20 minutes, the manager walked to the bar, whispered to the bartender who passed along the message that I would have to leave the premises, and that this was a "members only club". Safe to say this was insulting and embarrassing for me, considering I was surrounded in people, showing up for race night.
Thanks to KYC (or at least it's management) for perpetuating the horrible reputation of exclusivity in sailing. I know on the east coast, that all of our clubs are very welcoming of new and visiting sailors.

This is a gem in the heart of Kingston. A wonderful, inviting community with a great history for sailors or anyone that just wants to be close to the water. All right downtown with the best fresh water sailing in the world.

The Yacht Club is warm and welcoming. The food is great, and the special events are fun. Brandon is a top drawer server!

We have had lunch there a few times and the food is great. They were super accommodating for my daughter's request of chocolate milk that they don't normally have.

Wonderful staff who are very attentive of gests needs and so accomodating for families. One feels very welcome in this relaxed, pleasant community. Beautifully decorated bar and dining area. Definitely recommend the varied interesting menu at a very reasonable price. A very pleasant experience all 'round.

Friendly place. Fantastic location. Great food. Great sailing.

Friendly club with amazing views. Visitor dock can be bumpy during a South wind.
