A Message from the Commodore

Welcome to Bayview Yacht Club!

Bayview's mission since 1915 has been to promote sailing. Our members, our volunteers and our staff strive to provide a sailing experience that lasts a life-time.  The Bayview Experience has been shared with sailors and guests from around the world as we host local, regional, national and international sailing regattas.  The Bayview Experience doesn’t end with our expansive dry sailing and harbor facilities. Bayview's dining room and world-famous bar have views of the Detroit and Canadian skylines.  As you look south over the Detroit River, you can watch our junior sailors practice, sailboats racing evening and weekend races, and international freighters passing close by the club house.

Bayview is a leader in the Great Lakes region’s sailing community, providing winter seminars, adult learn to sail classes, junior sailing and an extensive club boat program makes access to sailboats and learning to sail very easy.  Our winter seminar series is open to the sailing community, covering a wide range of topics for everyone from beginner sailors to established boat owners and their crews.

We would like to share the Bayview Experience with you, your family and friends.  Whether you are a member’s guest, a visiting competitor or new to the Detroit area and looking for a club to race out of or dock your boat, reach out to our members and staff to begin your Bayview Experience.
