Berths and Moorings
There are 200 berths on the club’s marina system accommodating boats up to 44′ in length with sufficient water to allow boats with a 10-foot draft to berth.
We also have 50 mooring balls and offer tender service to transport you back and forth to your boats.

Boat Launching
DYC is the only club in Metro capable of lifting a 30-ton vessel with a maximum beam of 16 feet, and our experienced yard staff ensures a safe move.
Boat launching is available using our 30-ton Travelift, or self-launched via trailer.
Call the office (902-468-6050) or email (admin@dartmouthyachtclub.ca) with your preferred time and date, subject to availability.
Need to Know: Haul and Launch
- Travelift requires valid proof of insurance on file with the Club, and no account balance owing.
- Access to boats can be restricted due to their location in the yard, which could impact our ability to accommodate your launch request, but all effort will be made.
- We would ask that you make every effort to ensure your motor is functioning so that you can safely transit out of the launch camber.
- Know your draught. We have limited depth in the camber at low tide.
