Yacht Club de Québec
The Yacht Club de Québec sits right on Boulevard Champlain along the St. Lawrence, making it one of the most scenically positioned marinas in the province, with the cliffs and skyline of Old Québec City as your backdrop. This is the heartbeat of sailing culture in the region — the YCQ doesn't just offer moorage, it actively runs regattas and drives river tourism, so there's always something happening on the water. If you want to be plugged into the local sailing scene rather than just passing through, this is the spot to dock in Québec City.
