WYC is a private club on the west side of Lake Okanagan between the cities of Kelowna and Peachland in "Beautiful" British Columbia.
The club's well-sheltered moorage provides a convenient and safe harbour for all sizes of vessels.
At the heart of the club is the M.V. Pendozi
a car ferry that once sailed between Kelowna and the Westside of Lake Okanagan.
Now lovingly refurbished, the old ferry is the heart of the club, and a warm home-away-from-home to our more than 200 members.
It offers a pleasant place to meet, relax, quench your thirst and dine with friends.

Established in 1962 by a group of boaters moored in the Richmond Marina area, the club was Chartered March 8, 1963.
1965 saw a clubhouse built on leased land at Nor-Wes Marina.
Financing for the clubhouse was personally guaranteed by 11 members and it was constructed by the members.
By 1970, the mortgage was paid off.
In 1975 land was leased from the Municipality of Richmond and the clubhouse was moved to its current location.
Construction of the marina began in 1976, financed by debentures and in 1982 the original debentures were retired.
Located on the Middle Arm of the Fraser River, between the Dinsmore and Moray Channel Bridges, the club is easily accessed from all areas of the lower mainland.
Richmond Yacht Club is family oriented with approximately 161 memberships and was designed to be an active club to encourage boaters willing to give a helping hand in the repairs, maintenance, and operation of their club.
