Cruising
Explore Lake Ontario and beyond
Reciprocal Cruising
Members of Highland Yacht Club enjoy reciprocal privliges at all the most popular destinations around Lake Ontario and into the St. Lawrence River. So get out and explore! With the reciprocal priviliges members get to visit and overnight at other boating clubs around the lake. Each club has their own policy surrounding reciprocals but we’ve got this handy interactive map to help you discover where to go and what to expect.
Club Cruise schedule 2023
Our Cruise Directors organize a full schedule of group club cruises through the season. On these cruises a group of boats from our club swaps places with a group of boats from the other club. It’s a fun way to visit new places with the fun of sailing in a group. Sign up emails go out to HYC members a few weeks before each cruise.
WYC "die hard" cruise
This annual cruise is for those that want to get one more cruise in before the season is out. Although it has be dubbed the “die hard” cruise, the last number of years it has proven to have wonderful weather and great sailing conditions.
PCYC cruise
A popular long weekend cruise to the west side of the city. You’ll get to see planes flying overhead putting on a show since this is the air show weekend at the CNE. This is a great family cruise where you can enjoy the swimming pool and grounds at PCYC
THSC cruise
A short cruise to Toronto Hydroplane and Sailing Club just 5.5nm west of Highland.
HCYC Cruise
A great short cruise over the Centre Island. This is an excellent opportunity to explore the Toronto Islands, Centreville and great views of the city skyline.
Mimico cruise
Always a favourite destination for HYC members. Take in a drink and a meal on the patio at their restaurant or go for a nice walk along the trails of Humber Bay Park.
WYC cruise
Cruise to Whitby Yacht Club for the weekend. Just 15nm east of Highland this makes for an excellent trip.
Shakedown cruise to HYC
That’s right! We’re cruising to our own club. This is a fun way to get out on the water and make sure everything is working well. We’ll go out as a group for a 2 hour sail and return back to HYC and have a get together similar to what you’d expect on our cruises. More info to come.
