CLUB FLEETS


 

The Island offers plenty of opportunities to sail without owning a boat. Thanks to generous donations and continued support from our Membership, the Club owns a variety of boats that are available for sailing from Spring to Fall. Become part of the community to get a hands-on experience of sailing in Toronto Harbour and Lake Ontario by joining one of our offered sailing programs or by chartering a boat for the afternoon!

Booking Procedures
