Review for Detroit Yacht Club

Wow what a beautiful place !!! One of the very nicest marinas we have been to. This is one of those you got to know someone to get a slip here. They do not really offer transient slips.

View location on the Waterway Guide Explorer

A great private club that offers reciprocals. Easy docking with valet service. A nice clubhouse with pool, restaurant and outdoor bars. Live bands at the Red (outdoor) bar on Saturday nights. More casual than you might expect with dress code only enforced in certain areas. Recommend to approach from the north.
