Royal Vancouver Yacht Club - Tugboat Island
This Royal Vancouver Yacht Club outstation sits on 14-acre Tugboat Island in Silva Bay, a private marine sanctuary where you can tie up with shore power and water at slips accommodating boats from 24 to 60 feet. What sets it apart is the island itself — natural walking trails, tidal pools, and wildlife that make it feel more like a nature reserve than a marina stop. Access is for RVYC members and reciprocal yacht club members, so check your eligibility before making the trip out to Gabriola Island.
