Located on Lake Michigan in the heart of the city’s most vibrant neighborhood, South Shore Yacht Club is the largest and most inviting yacht club where people from all backgrounds come together to relax, connect, and enjoy the lakefront. We’re a vibrant, community-focused club with great amenities and plenty of ways for members to get involved. Founded in 1913 on a floating clubhouse—the LILY E Schooner—we’re proud of our rich history. Our current clubhouse, built in 1938, is home to the nationally known Queen’s Cup Race across Lake Michigan. Whether you’re a lifelong sailor, a first-time visitor, or just here for great food, sunset views, great company and family-friendly events, there’s something for everyone!
Being a member is all about embracing life by the lake. For some, it’s the thrill of sailing and power boating. For others, it’s the unbeatable views, the warm community, or simply the relaxed atmosphere at our bar and restaurant. Many of our members live just around the corner and join to connect with neighbors, unwind, and soak in the scenery from our inviting, year-round venue. Whether you're here for the water or the friendships, you'll feel right at home.
