Detroit Yacht Club

Thoroughly enjoyed my cousins wedding here at the yacht club! I have never been to a yacht club and felt that although this place was older, it has a lot of history and charm to it that I felt was unique and beautiful. Belle Isle is a beautiful island located just off of the coast of Detroit and in the Detroit river. We took the time to drive around the island and took in the views of the water and parks and lakes that were inside the island. Once we arrived to the yacht club, the security guards were very friendly and approachable and we gave them our names and parked. All of the staff amazed me. The bartenders were fantastic, and even the servers were able to bring us additional food Even though we probably were not meant to have multiple bread baskets. The sunset over the water and the marina outside was just the icing on the cake to a beautiful venue. I would love to be a member here!

I came here for an event and the space is beyond beautiful! It has an amazing view of the sunset, water, and boats to provide the most beautiful pictures! I did come here when it was quite warm outside (88F) and the ballroom I was in did get very humid and was a little uncomfortable. The food served was ok, nothing amazing. I would come for the views but not for the food.

overworked staff, overcooked burger. Won't be going back for the food, atmosphere, or service

Came here for a friend's wedding on a Saturday night. The appetizers were fantastic, a few of them were crab cakes, mini BLT's, and caprese skewers. Then for dinner we had chicken piccata and filet with potatoes and green beans. The food was so good, we had none left on our plates. The bartenders here poured drinks extremely heavy, I probably went through a bottle of wine after 3 pours. No complaints here! The place was very fun, I plan to come back here on a normal day (not a wedding) and check it out.

The Detroit Yacht Club is full of beautiful art and wood workings. I've been here for weddings and social events and it's always been a pleasant experience. The staff and management do a great job of keeping the schedule on time without pressuring the guests or host. It makes every Event friendly and professional. The grounds and scenery from the Yacht Club are breathtaking and full of character. Great views of downtown Detroit and the Detroit river. On this past occasion they decorated for Christmas and the main ballroom was decked out in holiday lights and decorations. The salmon, vegetarian stuffed pasta shells and fillet mignon was the choices for the wedding. Sampled all three and was very impressed with the taste and presentation. This is a must see if you ever have need of a great event space. It's worth the money and they'll treat you like family. Give them your business and have an event to remember forever.

We recently had a chance to attend an event at this Detroit upper crust tradition. Due to high water we had to take the slow middle route through the island to the private, with security guard, parking lot.The security staff is polite and first rate. Some of the event staff are a little jaded to guests, I expect members get a higher level of service. A simply stunning example of a classy clubhouse and upper end quality marina docks. Like something from a movie.There are a few cracks, the patio bricks for the "Bitter End" party room were loose and tripped several people. Some of the rooms were worn, but overall a first rate facility. The pool was a real gem.I expect a member would rate this as 4 or 5 stars, but the staff were only okayish to guests. Great food.

This historic building is truly a sight to see. It reminds you of being in a castle. The details in the wood are phenomenal. It's truly a place to attend. From what I read about this place is truly a place you want to consider seeing. We attended an employee staff recognition service for our company and being that it was at night we really didn't get to see the entire site. We were on the second floor in one of the ballrooms and it really does remind you of being in a smaller castle, someone's home. We have attended at least 2 events here and I know next time I get the opportunity, I will take a full tour of this magnificent history of Detroit.

I've been going to the DYC for many years. The members are very nice and helpful people. The staff is kind and attentive to the needs of members and guests. It is a private club, but it's very reasonable for general non-boating members (and also reasonable for boating members in comparison to other private clubs). Whether a private party, a dinner at the restaurant or outdoor grill, or just enjoying the pool you can't go wrong with the DYC, you'll enjoy your time spent here at "the resort in the city" just off of Belle Isle.

Becoming a member of the DYC was possibly the greatest decision I've made in the city of Detroit. Some of the nicest people I've ever met and memories to last a lifetime. The facilities are amazing. They have everything from tennis courts (4), TWO pools (indoor and outdoor), a hot tub (my favorite), a gym, sauna, squash courts, and the list goes on.I stored my kayaks on the outdoor racks and rented a locker to keep my PFDs and paddles in and I can tell you my kayaks never had so much use in a season before that year. Unfortunately, I was relocated with work and had to forfeit my membership while living in Southern California but the second I move back reinstating my membership is a top priority.

What a great place. We were there in part to a great sponsor. This gentleman welcomed our wild group of United States Bartenders Guild to a pool party. This was co-sponsored by USBG Greater Detroit Chapter and Bacardi. We swam, we drank, we had a blast. We may have bit a bit load or out of control but when 50plus chapter from all over the USA come together it gets a bit wild. We had members from as far as Hawaii, Washington, Texas, Florida, and everywhere in between. Again thank you for a great opportunity to see old friends and make new one. Detroit City is a great city, and DYC is a great place to visit. Would recommend anyone in the area to become a member of possible.
