Yachts in Toronto primarily depart from Marina Quay West at 539 Queens Quay West and the Harbourfront Centre marina near 235 Queens Quay West. These downtown locations are the main hubs for licensed operators like Toronto Yachts and the Toronto Harbour Nautical Centre. Both marinas offer easy access to parking at the P3 Rees Street Lot and are within walking distance of the CN Tower.
A day trip from Toronto easily reaches the Toronto Islands, which form a protected archipelago with calm anchorages ideal for swimming and picnics. You can also sail to the Outer Harbour Marina near Cherry Beach or explore the Humber Bay Park West shoreline in the west end. Most small sailboats and dinghies are restricted to the Inner Harbour, while larger yachts can venture into open Lake Ontario waters.
