Milwaukee Yacht Club

Founded in 1871 on the shores of Lake Michigan, Milwaukee Yacht Club is the oldest premier yacht club on the lake, set in the heart of Milwaukee's McKinley Marina. The Club's current clubhouse, built in 1967, is a two-and-one-half story, 9,500-square-foot brick building overlooking the North anchorage of Milwaukee Harbor, with large windows framing panoramic views of Lake Michigan and the Milwaukee skyline. Milwaukee Yacht Club hosts wedding ceremonies and receptions, rehearsal dinners, corporate meetings, award banquets, and other private celebrations across a range of indoor and outdoor settings for up to 200 guests. Spaces include the main dining room, the private Cove banquet room, the Library conference room, and — during boating season — a lakeside patio with a full-service bar overlooking the harbor. The Club is available for non-member event bookings and offers full-service catering for every occasion. Amenities include a heated pool and spa, an outdoor Skylark Bar, and complimentary kayaks and paddleboards, giving events at the Club a lakeside, boating-club character.
