Canadian Yachting
The most revered and respected award in the private club industry is the Platinum status award. Three Canadian yacht clubs achieved the award this year: the Royal Canadian Yacht Club in Toronto, the Royal Vancouver Yacht Club and the Royal Victoria Yacht Club. These three join the top 50 Platinum Yacht Clubs of the World and 250 Platinum Clubs of the World. Royal Victoria Yacht Club (RVYC) is the only private club on Vancouver Island with the Platinum Club of the World designation.
In electing the RVYC a Platinum Yacht Club of the World 2020-21, the international panel of industry experts, historians and connoisseurs considered seven selection criteria: the Club’s Universal Recognition, a Respected Membership, Excellence in Amenities and Facilities, Exceptional Service Standards, Adapting to Changing Times, Management and Operations, and the Overall Experience. “We are very proud of this extraordinary recognition of excellence in all aspects of the Club’s operations”, says RVYC General Manager, Simon Gatrell. “It is great for the Club to be recognized with the most elite yacht clubs around the world”.
