Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron

The Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron is Queensland’s oldest and one of the most prestigious recreational boating clubs.

It is also unique in the variety of recreational activities catered for within the one club. This web site is intended not only to provide up to date information for our existing members, but also to introduce visitors to our organisation and its facilities, and to convince them that they would feel at home among us.

The Squadron has a proud history of involvement in sailing, from the juniors in dinghies, through families enjoying the delights of relaxing on Moreton Bay, to our elite sailors competing with distinction in class championships and at international and Olympic regattas. Our Register currently includes a large number of power craft of various sizes, shapes and displacements, and these members enjoy friendly competition, both within their number and against members of other clubs both in Queensland and interstate.

The establishment in 1994 of the RQYS Sailing School formalised various diverse teaching programs into a distinct unit with a focus on achieving high standards of competence in marine leisure activities, with an emphasis on youth. The major facility is located at Manly in Brisbane’s south-eastern Bayside suburbs, with a smaller ‘down the Bay’ premises at Canaipa Point on Russell Island in southern Moreton Bay.

The grounds of the Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron contain facilities that are of the highest standard to meet all your sailing and social needs, including our much-envied rigging lawns and an unrivalled environment to wine, dine and relax in.

Roam in our Clubhouse and explore our heritage

Your first stop into the Squadron is our Clubhouse which displays our rich heritage and memorabilia from members past and present. Here you will find the Miller Gallery where trophies, boat displays and many artworks including pieces of history are displayed. The Gallery is entrance to the Auditorium, Commodore’s Lounge and Girdis Room all found within the Clubhouse. If you would like a tour of these areas, please ask our friendly Clubhouse receptionist who will be more than happy to show you and provide you with some further information.

Dine in our Café and Restaurant  amidst the beautiful view of Manly Harbour

Under the RQYS Clubhouse Pavilion, you will find our RQ Bar, Boardwalk Café and our Squadron Harbour View Restaurant.

With the members bar open from Monday at 4pm and food service opening for lunch and dinner on Wednesday- Sunday, members and guests can enjoy open-air dining and lavish meals created by our acclaimed Squadron chefs.

Cavill Building

Built in 1964, the Cavill Building with its scallop design was the first building on Squadron premises. Upstairs you will find a Flags Function room which holds the most stunning view of the Bay and private bar for functions, below you will find our most oldest heritage including a Board listing all of our Past Commodore’s and Life Members.

Rigging Lawns

Our Rigging Lawn, just outside the pavilion is particularly busy during regattas with as much as 100 boats preparing for the day ahead! When it is quiet, you may catch a glimpse of a wedding ceremony held on the lawn in front of our beautiful harbour milieu.

Through our secure access gates, the RQYS Marina can accommodate up to 572 vessels in floating berths and 300 vessels in dry storage so no matter what size boat you have, we can accommodate to your needs. A dedicated administration office in the marina can assist you with any enquiry and there is extensive car parking throughout. Our slipping facilities include a travelift, slewing crane and service area with frames and for a little extra care; there is a Marine Trade centre dedicated to marine engineering and boat repairs for all makes of vessels.

The Squadron accommodates trailerable and Dinghy vessels easily. You can be assured that your vessel will be safe and secure with our allocated hardstand spaces. Please contact our marina office to secure your hardstand space today. Several courtesy bays are also provided for members cars with trailers attached for short duration stays.

Please note that dinghies and vessels must not be left on rigging lawns or in the marina without consent from the marina office.

The Squadron has two ramps for members use. The most common ramp is utilised primarily as the main access for dinghy classes and can be used for the launching and retrieving of trailer boats. The Eastern ramp or the ‘all tide ramp’ may be used for launching and retrieval of trailerable boats. However, if you intend to use this ramp be aware it is accessed through the marina hardstand area and launching and retrieving should not interfere with work within this area.

Even though the ramps are cleaned regularly, we ask that you should always exercise caution as they can be slippery. On busier days, a ramp marshall may control traffic on the middle ramp and please listen to any direction given by them so that you can access the ramp in the safest way possible. A free wash down facility is available on the concrete apron at the head of each ramp and we ask that boats are not washed down on the lawn.

Every Member is given a personalised access card which grants them the use of the Squadron depending on their category of membership.

Our newly installed proximity system makes it easy for members to enter and leave the Squadron at any time of the day and can enable bar and café charges and fuel use with one simple card.

For visitors of members, we can also provide temporary access upon request. Please contact the Squadron office for more information.

Tradespersons working on members boats that do not possess a Trades Pass must advise the office to gain access. Office Hours: 8am to 5pm Monday – Friday.
