Britannia Yacht Club

An absolutely wonderful day out. I visited for my birthday and the sun was shining — being by the coast I could have been anywhere in the world! I didn’t feel like I was 15 minutes from Edinburgh centre!The whole experience is a delight — from the entrance with friendly and welcoming staff, to the huge Lego model of the yacht, to the overall tour itself.The tour is far more interesting and exciting than I expected. There are state rooms far larger than I would ever have imagined, and the crew facilities (including three bars!) were fascinating to see.I also loved how there were a few fun elements in each room — like the odd corgi scattered here and there, including one with a face mask in the ship’s hospital room.Be sure to head to the tea room to round off your trip with a cream tea looking out to sea!A wonderful day out, I can’t recommend it enough

Very nice place. Went there solely for a memorial event. As soon as you walk in the main building, you can feel the heritage and there are nice photos, paintings, memorabilias, etc. The view while dining inside or outside on the patio is spectacular even though I did not eat there because I am not a member. Maybe someday... :)

We went to Ottawa to visit some friends and they took us to the Yacht Club for dinner. It was a really nice experience to be there. When we arrived we took a beer outside watching the sunset, that was absolutely amazing, by the way. After that we got inside and try some of their nachos as an appetizer. They were so tasty. Then we order two of their daily special plates. Everything was just good. There was a guy working on the floor that night, Alex... he is so nice and he make you feel special and gives a super nice treatment to everybody.

Britannia Yacht Club is one of the oldest yacht clubs in Canada, dating back to 1887. The aquatic / nautical club is located within Britannia village, which was a popular resort/ amusement attraction for Ottawa's elite and military personnel during the summer months. (Today you can see cottage style homes still standing in the area).The yacht club is built on an extension of land near the Deschenes rapids on the Ottawa River. Along side of the Deschenes rapids the Ottawa Electric Railway Co. built the Britannia Pier (Jetty) as part of a hydro power facility in 1900. This also provided a protective barrier and harbour for those who wished to enjoy the waterways and the yacht club. However, fatalities still occur by those who accidentally venture into the rapids. So be wary if you go out into the waters.The Britannia Yacht club has a long history of social events with its grounds catering to enthusiasts in sailing, tennis courts, dining, wedding parties, theatre and on going support of the armed forces.When inside the main building you can see the club's history in their photographs, books and treasured items. The club also provides port/ storage facilities, regatta events and even sailing lessons.If you like my reviews, photos or videos why not hoist your Canadian Red Ensign flag up in the air for all to see.

Beautiful part of Ottawa, away from downtown. The grounds are amazing to walk and take in the Ottawa River views. The building itself is loaded with history and tons of trophies and pictures to discover. A priceless Ottawa jewel.

A nice place to hang out every weekend. We are family members there and spend almost 6 days a week during summer. Their restaurant makes good food. Dining, launching, and using their facilities are limited to members. But, it makes it a safe, peaceful place.

Good location for a conference. Good menu. Stairway is tricky in the cold and visitors should take care.

I recently held my wedding ceremony and reception at BYC and I cannot recommend them enough! Both management and staff were incredibly prompt and professional, leading up to and during the wedding day itself. The food served was phenomenal, and everyone in attendance raved about the views. It was the perfect venue and I cannot wait to visit them again just for dinner!
