Our Story
About Huron Yacht Club
Seven decades of community, sailing, and friendship on Lake Erie.
Founded 1955
The Friendliest Club on the Lake
Huron Yacht Club was founded in 1955 with a single mission: to serve the community of Huron and its surrounding communities, and to provide more than our members expect. Over 70 years later, that mission is stronger than ever.
Located on the Huron River where it meets Lake Erie, our club offers an exceptional setting, one that combines the calm of the river with the grandeur of the Great Lake. Whether you're a boater, a food lover, or simply someone who values great company, HYC has a place for you.
We have become known throughout the region as "The Friendliest Club on the Lake", a title we have earned through decades of welcoming members, guests, families, and friends with open arms.
