★★★★★Max SattiI grew up coming to this club, to enjoy the beautiful beach, the sailing programs and many social events offered. I recently moved back to the area and re-joined the club. It is so convenient! There is a full club house with indoor showers, bathrooms and changing areas, a place to store your small boats on the beach, a large mooring field for larger boats with launch service to and from as well as an amazing restaurant, referred to as ' The Galley' It truly is an amazing family club. 10/10 recommend!!

★★★★★Margaret Jachym7.8.23 Beautiful place to enjoy beautiful views. Staff was very friendly and got us to and from our boats fast. The views to see the fireworks were spectacular.
★★★★★Jeffrey TaylorHas nice clean white sand beach, patio and great views of the Thames River scenery. We accompanied a member on a visit. He recommended the TYC because of the number of amenities versus other marinas in the area. They concentrate on moorings for vessels. The Thames is highly trafficked by high speed ferries and other large transport vessels. The chop at the moorings on the Thames can be uncomfortable at times. Otherwise great place to moor your sailboat for the season. You must move to other marinas for haul out and winter storage. You must dismay for marinas beyond the bridge.
