The Toledo Yacht Club

Welcome to Historic Toledo Yacht Club!

Since 1865

Toledo Yacht Club extends a warm welcome to you and your family. While many club activities take on a decidedly nautical Flavor, there is much more to TYC. As the oldest continuously-operating yacht club on the Great Lakes, and one of the oldest in the nation, TYC enjoys affiliations with the Inter-Lake Yachting Association, Associated Yacht Clubs, Detroit Regional Yacht Racing Association and Boat US. Our affiliations provide Toledo Yacht Club members access to virtually any yacht club in the United States and Canada.

The Toledo Yacht Club’s history dates back to the mid-1800s when rowing was much more popular, and power boats were still a dream. A disastrous fire destroyed the frame building on the current site in 1906 leadign to the present masonry clubhouse which was completed in 1906. Today’s stately clubhouse continues its historic legacy with a formal dining room, complete banquet and catering service, a third floor ballroom, casual dining in the Den Bar with fireplaces and large-screen televisions. Trophy cases and nautical memorabilia fill every corner of the club, reminding members and guests of the tradition that is still carries on today.
