Visitor Information
Bronte Harbour Yacht Club is located at 43° 23′ 33.35″ N 79° 42′ 13.56″ W in the inner harbour, West of the lighthouses, at the mouth of Bronte Creek in historic Bronte Village.
Bronte Harbour Yacht Club offers reciprocal yachting by reservation only. The first night is $2.45 per foot, and the second night is complimentary. Requests must be submitted at least four business days in advance and require Town of Oakville approval, as the Town administers slip assignments. In the Bronte Inner Harbour, we can accommodate boats up to 35 feet with drafts up to six feet. Boats greater than 35 feet LOA or with a draft greater than six feet can be accommodated in the Bronte Outer Harbour Marina. Information about the two marinas can be found here. Boats in either marina have access to the BHYC clubhouse and grounds. Proof of membership in a club providing reciprocals and proof of $2 million in marine liability insurance are required.
Most slips offer 30-amp power and fresh water access. Gas barbeques and picnic tables are available at the club, ice can be purchased from bar staff. Our club house offers washrooms, showers, bar services on a cash basis, television, and a computer with internet access. The inner harbour marina offers haul outs, boat wash as well as repair facilities. Pump-outs and fuel are available in the Bronte Outer Harbour Marina just east of the mouth of Bronte Creek. The harbour is adjacent to Bronte Village offering restaurants, coffee shops, pubs, grocery stores and many more amenities within walking distance to make your stay with us a pleasant one.
Bronte Harbour Yacht Club is a volunteer run club with an officer of the day program. An Officer of the Day is on duty in the afternoons on most weekends and Friday evenings for visiting boats. If there is no Officer of the Day available, visitors are asked to tie up at the visitors' dock #200 (up the river on the north side, on the last turn before the Lakeshore Road bridge) and check-in with the bar staff for a mooring assignment. Please fly your club burgee and show your membership card to the Officer of the Day or to the bar staff.
