## Quick answer

Visiting reciprocating yacht club members receive 48-hour complimentary dockage at the service docks, 24/7 security gate access via a temporary RFID card (deposit $50 CAD), and full clubhouse dining privileges during operating hours (daily 11:30 AM–9:00 PM).

## Detailed answer

Ashbridges Bay Yacht Club (ABYC), located at 150 Ashbridges Bay Park Road in Toronto, Ontario, offers a comprehensive reciprocity program for members of recognized reciprocating yacht clubs. Visiting members must present a valid membership card from their home club and government-issued photo ID at the ABYC office (open 9:00 AM–5:00 PM daily) to register. Upon registration, guests receive a temporary RFID security card that provides 24/7 access to the club’s gated parking lot and pedestrian gate; a refundable deposit of $50 CAD is required, and the card must be returned within 48 hours to avoid a $25 CAD replacement fee. The service docks (located at the east end of the basin) offer complimentary 48-hour tie-up for vessels up to 50 feet in length, with access to fresh water and 30-amp electrical hookups. Overnight stays beyond 48 hours incur a fee of $2.50 CAD per foot per night. Clubhouse dining is available to visiting members and their guests in the main dining room and the outdoor patio, with operating hours from 11:30 AM to 9:00 PM daily (last food orders at 8:30 PM). Reservations are recommended for parties of six or more and can be made by calling 416-698-1234. The club also provides complimentary Wi-Fi (password available at the office) and access to washroom and shower facilities. Note that reciprocity does not include use of the swimming pool, tennis courts, or storage lockers. All visiting vessels must display a valid ABYC reciprocity decal (issued at registration) on the port side of the windshield. For the most current information, visiting members should contact the ABYC office at least 48 hours in advance of their arrival.
