GROSSE POINTE YACHT CLUB

The 'Grosse Pointe Yacht Club' is a private marina and sailing club founded in 1914 and located on the shore of Lake St. Clair in Grosse Pointe Shores, Michigan.
The club is prominently visible and a well-known landmark along the shoreline of the lake north of Detroit. The 18th century Italian Renaissance-style clubhouse was designed by Boston architect Guy Lowell and dedicated on July 4, 1929. The clubhouse features stucco and red tile roof and a 187-ft bell tower, which serves as a navigational aid for boaters on the lake.
The GPYC is known locally simply as "the Yacht Club" because it is the most prominent yacht club in the area, although nearby Bayview Yacht Club is home to many more racing sailors. Amenities of the club, besides the marina itself, include a bowling alley, several clay tennis courts, 2 lighted paddle tennis courts and a sailing center with a large fleet of club owned sail boats.
The Grosse Pointe Yacht Club (GPYC) has been awarded best yacht club in America many times in the past and the best club in Michigan a few years ago.
