Royal Vancouver Yacht Club: Coal Harbour Visit Guide

The Royal Vancouver Yacht Club pin in Stanley Park refers to its Coal Harbour facility. The club also has a Jericho location, so a generic club search can send you to the wrong side of Vancouver.

About Royal Vancouver Yacht Club

The club’s facility documentation identifies its Coal Harbour station at 950 Stanley Park Drive. Its website describes membership, home ports and visiting-by-boat information. Those arrangements should be consulted directly; this independent guide does not issue guest access, reciprocal privileges or moorage approval.

Finding the right arrival point

Use the Coal Harbour address and the club’s own directions when attending as an invited guest. Do not use the Jericho clubhouse address shown in general contact information for an event at Stanley Park. Confirm the correct gate or marina arrival with your host.

What to check before visiting

Ask about visitor eligibility, dress or dining requirements, event check-in and access needs before arriving. Public views of the harbour and boats do not imply access to club grounds or docks. For boat visitors, use the official visiting procedure rather than relying on a marina name alone.

Combine this stop with nearby places

For a public waterfront outing nearby, choose Coal Harbour or an open eastern seawall route. The HMCS Discovery site is a different controlled facility and is not an extension of the yacht club.

Sources and current information

Check current operating details with the responsible operator. A source-review date does not claim an on-site visit; older route references do not establish current access.
