Home to more than 300 sail and power boats, the Cleveland Yachting Club (CYC), which was started in 1878 and is the oldest club on the southern shore of Lake Erie, is directed by its 700 members. CYC offers year-round activities you can enjoy—even if you don’t own a boat—including a host of amenities, superb service and facilities. Members, their families and guests enjoy fine dining, exciting social events, youth activities, swimming, picnicking and just plain relaxation, all with the backdrop of Cleveland’s most spectacular lake views.

CYC offers an unparalleled, year-round club experience with an extensive social calendar. Here’s just a partial list of activities: power fleet cruises, sail races, water sports, sail camp and swim team, youth activities, and fishing tournaments.

The club welcomes boaters who are members in good standing of reciprocal yacht clubs. Registered guests are invited to move freely about the club premises and grounds and to make use of the facilities. Dock reservations are required and will be accepted on an as-available basis.

Soft drinks, beer, ice, snack foods and limited retail and safety items are available for purchase at the gas dock.

The restaurants, porch and bars are located in the clubhouse and are open Tuesday through Sunday. The Center Island Complex includes a large outdoor pool and deck area, women’s, men’s and family locker rooms, laundry facilities with coin-operated washer and dryer, snack bar, party room, and playground. This newly renovated facility also has a cozy bar, a fireplace and an outdoor picnic area.

The CYC offers protected dockage for its members with an array of yard services. The harbor manager can arrange for services including fuel, launch, winter storage, dry sail storage, washing, crane and forklift service and labor.

In addition, CYC offers wireless service throughout the island and clubhouse.
