RKYC History

The second Clubhouse, which houses the present club, was opened in August of 1901. It was built by contractor John Duffy at a cost of three thousand dollars. In its day, it was an ambitious project. Today, this grand structure dominates the Millidgeville skyline. The Clubhouse tower stands seventy feet above ground level and has a commanding view of Brothers Cove. Its unique architecture serves as a focal point for the community. The Clubhouse is an integral part of the identity of the Royal Kennebeccasis Yacht Club and its light is recognized as a beacon of hospitality by those who visit Saint John.

Let us take pride in past accomplishments, and continue our leading role in promoting safe boating, good sportsmanship and camaraderie in Saint John.
