What a gem,old world charm with great food good service and a great view of Detroit,though you must be a member or have a friend who is to enjoy this place,wait till there is a special event or an open house to visit.Belle isle is also very beautiful now and safe,its a must see in what is now an up-and-coming Detroit.
By far the best place in southeast Michigan to keep a boat and spend a weekend
Visited as a friends guest. Very nice facilities, restaurant and bar were both good.
The food was amazing, staff was super friendly & the band Taylor Tucky was awesome!
Its always great spending time at the DYC.
Very beautiful sunset. Good Caesar salad at pool grill
Had a great time at the Detroit Yacht Club during the Detroit City Football League’s after party hosted by the Villages team. Great pool and outdoor bar and a really nice place to hang out during the summer time. The Club is on Belle Isle and is members-only. However, this event was open to soccer players in the DCFL for this night only.
Food is always good but service while polite can be slow.
A truly historic club with all the beauty one could ask for. Great view of the Detroit skyline from the grand balcony. Such history. ..everyone was so nice! Would love to go again.
Disclaimer: if youre not a member or dont know a member, youll be unable to get in. It is a members only yacht club.Ive been here on and off for work for the past few months and let me tell you: their food is excellent. Every day is a new specials menu and the core menu has great items to appeal to many people.The facility is clean, the bars are well stocked and the staff are very friendly and accommodating! The building is definitely old, and the style of it definitely reflects that, but dont let that deter you!There is sailing classes for all ages and a swim team. During the day there are many kids, but there are plenty of things for them to do. They recently had a new wireless put in that has great speeds!
Bell Island has really been beautifully done over now that its a State Park.
Its nice to look at
Great place to get away ... Social club, boat marina with a social experience of being boat residents, ... Swimming pool, lots of biking/ hiking/ swimming coves and beaches around the island outside dyc. An experience of a weekend getaway that can be a getaway even for the week, a club/ resort 30 min drive from home.Good place to entertain business guests in a not so stuffy way. Good views over the river, calm, food and service are good.Good safe resort for kids (and their friends) too.
Feelin good in n on the water
Love the pool! The food is always good! Meet me on the boat!
Very cool spot. It’s worth the trip to get there.
Nice facility, but no air conditioning or fans in a room of hundreds of people. They need to modernize a little bit to accommodate. It was oppressive without air.
Such a great place for families. We love the DYC, the membership team is unparalleled and they really think about what offerings their members like. The food is pretty good but the service and environment is what keeps us members.
Fun summer here
I attended our Annual BSA picnic on the grounds. It was pretty and the view was beautiful.
Great building. Nice lunch. Great to see a grand old building still in use and looking fine.
Classy, when I grow up, I plan to have a boat in oneof these slips.
It has always been a great experience here, incredibly classy place, and top-notch service!
Its been years that I was there. The food was excellent with a fantastic view. Cannot wait to go back.
Suffragettes Ball, good bands in the summer
Great view! The dock was fun to sit around and party at.
Best place in the city
Awesome place awesome staff and people.
I first visited the Detroit Yacht Club in the late fifties, and it is still a wonderful club. I was a guest today and loved it.
Food should be better, atmosphere is fine. Feels more like a sign of status than an actual destination.
I attended a wedding and reception there yesterday and everything there was absolutely fantastic! The set up was beautiful. The wait staff was friendly and attentive. The food was superb. The attention to detail was extraordinary. From start to finish it was an amazing experience!
More beautiful everytime we go !!
Food was awesome, staff was excellent. Two weddings going on, and you couldnt tell to were going on it was excellent!
First time ever going to a yacht club. The establishment was beautiful and clean. You can literally spend an entire day there. From swimming in the Olympic size pool to eating a very delicious meal in the restaurant to taking the children in a kiddie room to play, you can have the pick of the day. Have a drink with friends or by yourself. But most of all sitting on the dock to sitting on the docked boats is so relaxing and tranquil or even taking the boat out onto the main waters just puts you into a different element. The people I encountered were pleasant. The live band entertainment was also amazing and adds to the wonder of the day.
Its a beautiful place with a lot of things to do. They also have wonderful polite staff.
Beautiful event place and amazing food.
Great venue, good band and outdoor dancing along the water.
Nice.
Really enjoyed the food and scenery
Attended a small dinner party. I enjoyed the food but many of guest complained that there was a lack of seasoning. So, to each its own. The staff was very friendly, loved that! The atmosphere was nice, beautiful decor. My only issue was the timing of the food. Half of our party was packing up their food in to go boxes, while the other half was still waiting for their orders.
They have good things for fishing and at a nice price
Nice and secure, but the water is very high this year and it seems this place isnt really set up for such a high water line
Beautiful wedding venue! ️
Amazing place. Wish I could afford a membership.
Great place, beautiful and clean. Elegant space ideal for conferences, special events and weddings.
Absolutely love this yacht club! It is such a beautiful structure. The staff is warm and inviting. The management is highly professional and they host events to perfection. Members are down to earth and extremely friendly. I have held and attended many events there and it will always be one of my favorite locations in Detroit.
Friend joined the next day
Very pricey but I think it was worth it. Getting there was confusing, some roads were closed, but the GPS worked
Fabulous, wonderful historic venue excellent eveniing out.
Private function was awesome. Beautiful weather, views and great people. Nice facility. Jewel of Detroit.
Beautiful facility and wonderful service.
Great place to watch the hydroplanes.
Had a blast, great atmosphere
Great place for friends and family to enjoy great buffet
Very nice place
Great place! Would go back in a heartbeat!
Im sitting here right now & Im sorry to say this has been the most unorganized service Ive ever seen. At this point the most I can say my food is hot & it taste good. Thank God
Beautiful setting and great city views. We were there for a wedding so its hard to judge, but the food was less than amazing. The Club is being restored and improved - I would go back and visit again.
Again...at the rate of redundency...CAN NOT RATE WHAT I HAVE NOT BEEN ALLOWED TO VISIT...on Belle Isle a State of Michigan Park...its private..what are they hiring?
Always a relaxing evening
Great place and lots of fantastic people
Beautiful place to work
This is the best yacht club around! Steeped in a rich history of yachting but down to earth with Detroit grit, youll never find a greater group of people.
We went to a beautiful wedding there Friday night. It was a memorable night. Valencia was a great bar tender!!
It was wonderful and so beautiful. The staff was great especially the valets. They were so sweet and easy to talk too. They took prom photos with my best friend and I because we didnt have dates.
A lovely venue. Everyone there was exceedingly polite.
Lived there as a teen on parents boat. Wonderful place to grow up.
The food was very good, the staff did an awesome job. It was a beautiful setting.
Fantastic staff and amenities. Wonderful location and exquisite food with a private label IPA that is perfect.
Peaceful a place to clear your mind weeds need to be cut on the parking lot
I went to the bathroom and it was one of the worst experience I have ever had. They were so nasty, I almost threw up. Please make sure that someone come and constantly check them. Other than that I enjoyed my stst in Detroit Michigan.
I mean. It was an open bar. So Im... A little biased. Your drive way doesnt look like a driveway. It looks like a walking bridge. Its troublesome. You need more signs. A nice police officer helped us find our way to you, I didnt know the yacht club was in Narnia.
Really cool place to see. Long standing history. If have the opportunity to go in with a member, take it! Im lucky to get a chance when I work in Detroit.
Thought they are closed supposed to fix the place up and reopen it Detroits coming back to life we went to Belle Isle it was real nice just drove around and we went and sat by the water it was awesome
Its a great place to have family events and go on your boat, I really like it there
There were some glaring defects with the interior. This was my first time at this venue and I was disappointed in its appearance. The servers were nice but the event was a bit understaffed. The servers were forced to work multiple tables.
Nice Historic Yacht Club on Belle Isle in Detroit. Great place to view the Boat Races in the Summer!!
DYC is a nice location to spend a Saturday relaxing and enjoying its nice view of the Detroit skyline. I attended a wedding here. The only thing missing was air conditioning but it wasnt a major issue
Good food, beautiful property clean building
Beautiful place all year long.
We are a guest every other year for the speed boat races. Always great service, food and cocktails. Great classic building!
Great place to go with family! Very nice place and looks amazing
One of my favorite fishing stops
Beautiful clubhouse with a classic feel, building needs some renovations but overall it is gorgeous. Pool is great and the view is unbeatable.
Love this okd club. Dinner is great.
Really really beautiful to watch all those beautiful boats and yachts go by and really fun to see
Beautiful views and club house. Still some repairs that need to be done.
Geat place
Great service, beautiful view, good food, enjoyed lunch, very relaxing.
