The Toledo Yacht Club's history dates back to the 1800's
when rowing was much more popular than sailing and motor boats were still
a dream.
A disastrous fire totally destroyed a frame building in
1906. The present masonry clubhouse was completed in 1908.
Welcome to TYC
Toledo Yacht Club extends a warm welcome to you and your family.
While many club activities take on a decidedly nautical flavor, there is
much more to TYC than you might imagine.
A Grand Adventure in Relaxation and
Recreation
TYC might be best known for its spectacular Commodore's Ball, the rousing
Back to the Bay Party or its hosting of the prestigious Mills Race,
however, family activities also include Pig Roasts an Easter Egg Hunt and
an unforgettable brunch with Santa.
If you like traditional lawn games, there is plenty of
lawn to enjoy. Tennis, basketball, shuffleboard, tether ball and an expanded
children's play ground means you'll never run out of things to do while at
port. There's even a sheltered picnic area set in a secluded area
away from other club activities for private parties.
TYC's swimming pool affords all members a great way to get
in the water when they are not on the water.
Year 'Round Club Activities
TYC's stately clubhouse continues her legacy with a formal dining room
(but no formal dressing required), complete banquet service, a third floor
ballroom, lunches and casual dining in the Den Bar complete with fireplace
and large-screen television with satellite feed. Trophy cases and
nautical memorabilia fill every corner of the club, reminding members and
guests of the tradition which is still carried on today.
Get Pampered or Participate: Your
Preference
A full-time staff care for all club operations, but for those who like to
socialize by serving on a committee or two, take your pick.
Entertainment and cruise committees keep members dancing, dining and yes,
cruising to other clubs, Canada, the Islands and Cedar Point.
A Sheltered Deep Water Port on the
Maumee Bay
Few clubs can provide the sheltered, yet convenient access to the Great
Lakes that TYC can. The superb location on the mouth of the Maumee
River affords TYC's boating members the option of a leisurely cruise up
the river for the 4th of July fireworks or the open waters of Lake Erie
and its great sailing and fishing.
Affiliations Broaden Members' Horizons
As one of the most prestigious yacht clubs in the Midwest, TYC enjoys affiliations
in good standing with the Associated Yacht Clubs, Inter-Lake Yachting
Association and Boat/U.S., to name just a few. Our affiliations
provide Toledo Yacht Club members access to virtually any yacht club in
the United States and Canada. This is especially handy when cruising
or traveling and can be particularly enjoyable for those who love to visit
new ports.
Posters and Publications
TYC's monthly magazine, the Jib Sheet and this website keeps
members up-to-date on club activities and reports on subjects of
interest. An annual membership directory helps members keep in touch
and even includes boat names of all members. Special events are advertised
to members by flyers and posters, not to mention word-of-mouth.
There are many events that you will not want to miss!
All We Need Is You
The Toledo Yacht Club is not yet perfect. But if you ask any of its
active members, they will tell you it's close and getting closer every
day. There is just one thing it needs. You.
Social, Junior, Non-Resident and Full memberships are
available. There is even special financial consideration given to
younger families.
