We welcome you and your family to Michigan City Yacht Club, the club membership of choice on the southern shore of Lake Michigan adjacent to the Indiana Dunes National Park. Our members are sailors, racers, power boaters, cruisers, stewards of the sea and people who enjoy fun on the water, at the dock or in our Club Room. With a clubhouse at the Washington Park Marina our members enjoy on-water activity and camaraderie year-round. We make fun happen!
OUR STORYIn 1933, the Michigan City Yacht Club, at its inception under a group of enterprising yachtsmen, headed by Harry Frey, gathered to form an organization dedicated to the promotion of yachting on our lakefront. The original charter was applied for and granted by the State of Indiana on May 27, 1933. The Michigan City Yacht Club was founded as a non-profit corporation “for the promotion of yachting.” Every effort was made to increase racing activities for sail yachts, to organize Club cruises for power yachts, to develop the vitally important Junior Program and to carry on the social life of the Club in both summer and winter in a manner of interest to all members. |
