On the Algonquin Island side of the lagoon, moorings extend south of the club to the Algonquin bridge. There are also moorings on Ward's Island side of the lagoon from just south of the ferry dock to the Junior Club near the Algonquin bridge. On the south side, some moorings are on a floating dock.
Picnic tables are available near all moorings as well as around the clubhouse.

In most cases, visitors will be able to use the lines left in place by members and will not require their own mooring lines. There are variations on ways to enter and leave a QCYC mooring. Upon entering the mooring, the skipper or crew uses a boat hook to pick up the messenger line which also picks up the bow and stern line on that side of the vessel.
