About
Prince Rupert Rowing & Yachting Club, established in 1909, is proud to be one of the oldest yacht clubs in Canada, located on BCs northernmost port. The club, founded by a group of pioneering Prince Rupert businessmen, has been in continuous operation since its inception. While most vessels in the club are powered by internal combustion engines, the name “Rowing and Yachting Club” is maintained to honour its heritage and the mariners who uphold the traditions of wind and man power today.
