Grand Traverse Yacht Club

A Proud Legacy and Mission

The Purpose of the GTYC shall be the promotion, protection, and encouragement of boating for pleasure and sport, and to encourage the development and cultivation of good fellowship among its members.

The Grand Traverse Yacht Club was formed in 1960 as a small boat sailing club. Lightning class sailboats were the predominate class along with some larger cruising boats. The Club acquired the present location soon after and have called it home for over 45 years. The membership fleet is still dominated by small and medium sized racers but also includes a wide variety of cruising sailboats and powerboats. The GTYC has a wide-ranging program of boating and social activities. Check the club calendar. On-line rental reservations for members are now available HERE.
