South Shore Yacht Club

A Brief History of the Club

LilyE 20

There were several important years since then - milestones in the growth of the Club:

1913

The Club was organized

1915

The schooner LILY E is purchased to serve as a floating Clubhouse.

1921

South Shore Yacht Club and the Steel Mill Yacht Club join in forming one club
SOUTH SHORE YACHT CLUB.

1921

The LILY E succumbs to age and is scuttled; she is buried under the parking lot
and lies just outside the main gate.

1938

The present Clubhouse is dedicated, and the famous Queen's Cup ® Trophy
is deeded to the Club.

1963

The first bank of slips is built.

1988

The Club celebrated her 75th Anniversary!

The past 100 years have seen good times and bad times, in fact, during the Depression, some of the members found it difficult to afford the $5.00 annual dues!

But the Club persevered and grew into one of the largest on Lake Michigan, through hard work and the dedication of it's members. The present Clubhouse was completely built by the members. That same dedication persists today.

So, from a very humble beginning in 1913, SOUTH SHORE YACHT CLUB has grown to a Club that is the envy of many other Clubs on the Great Lakes.

Harbor of Hospitality

Welcome to the biggest, friendliest and most inclusive yacht club on Lake Michigan, bringing together folks from all walks of life. While we have our blue-blazer traditions, no one ever called us stuffy. What you'll find is a more laid-back vibe that invites people to just be themselves, away from the pressures of life in general. We're a busy gathering place year round, unlike typical yacht clubs that go into winter hibernation.

Dues and slip fees are surprisingly affordable, in part because our passionate members help maintain the place. Being a major Great Lakes yacht club, we host an exciting sailing and power boating scene. Yet, a growing segment of members don't even own boats. For them, SSYC is all about fellowship, in the most romantic spot on Milwaukee's lakefront. Smack in the heart of the city's most happening neighborhood.

The Best Experience at a Reasonable Price

What's it like to be a member? It's different for everyone. You can carve out your own experience and pick your context. But we believe one thing is true across the board. Among private clubs in metropolitan Milwaukee, South Shore Yacht Club gives you one of the best experiences for the money.
