Saginaw Bay Yacht Club (SBYC) is located on the eastern shore of the Saginaw River, about one and a half miles from the Saginaw Bay. The club welcomes guests and enjoys reciprocity through the Interlake Yacht Club association and the American Registry of Yacht Clubs.

The club has a long, rich history beginning with its inception in 1894, when William Jennison and 109 other charter members founded it as the Bay City Boating and Fishing Club. It is one of the oldest yacht clubs on the Great Lakes, with the first clubhouse opened in January 1895. In 1904 the club moved to its current location, where a new building was constructed. That building lasted until 1959, when construction on a newer building began. The grand opening for today’s current clubhouse was April 1960.

Today, you’ll find a full-service restaurant and bar during the boating season. SBYC has a boat ramp and offers pump-out services and electricity at its docks. Each year, it hosts one or two open houses to invite prospective new members to learn about the club. Any member of another yacht club is welcome to dock at their club.

Across the river is the Bay Harbor Marina. There you can find complete marine services, such as fuel services, storage and boat repair.
