Chartered in 1895, there is no location on Lake Erie better suited for the most genteel of all sports, yachting. The Erie Yacht Club is one of the esteemed yacht clubs of the Great Lakes with a membership of 1,500, steeped in tradition but known for its hospitality. Our members are sailors, racers, cruisers and stewards of the sea. With an anchorage on the shores of Presque Isle Bay, our members enjoy on-water activity and camaraderie year-round.
