⚓ That’s a wrap on another boating season at RKYC! 🚤⛵

As the docks begin to empty, we want to say a heartfelt THANK YOU to all our members and friends who make our club such a vibrant, welcoming, and fun place to be!

It’s the people, friendships, and memories that make RKYC so special. ❤️

The boats may be out of the water, but the fun doesn’t stop here!

Keep following us as we have some great events planned throughout the winter to help us all get through those months of missing the water!

Until next season, stay safe and see you soon! ⚓

This is why we love the Saint John River. You can’t beat that backdrop. 👌⛵️

In case you missed it… 👀⛵️

Yes — what you see in the background is our amazing club! ❤️

RKYC made an appearance on The Amazing Race Canada, as Saint John took centre stage for part of the race!

Pretty cool seeing our little corner of the city showcased across the country. 🇨🇦⛵️

We may be a little biased… but they picked a pretty great spot. 😉⚓️

⛵ RKYC IS HITTING NATIONAL TV! 🇨🇦📺

We’ve been keeping this one under wraps… 👀

Royal Kennebeccasis Yacht Club will be making an appearance on The Amazing Race Canada!

The Glass Girls recently revealed they’ll be featured on the show, and part of their adventure was filmed right here at RKYC! ⛵️

It’s pretty exciting to see our little corner of the Saint John River — and our club — featured on one of Canada’s biggest television shows.

📺 Tune in Tuesday, September 1st to CTV and keep your eyes open for some familiar RKYC scenery!

A very cool moment for our club and another opportunity to showcase sailing and our beautiful community to people across Canada. 🇨🇦⛵️

Who’s watching?! 👀

We sure are! 😎😊
