WHERE TRADITION LIVES

A ship is only as good as its crew and a crew is only a good as its captain. As GPYC celebrates its 100th year of existence, we continue to strive for perfect harmony amongst our facilities and our staff. Our winning formula of expert leadership, committed staff, and state-of-the-art amenities has been instrumental in ensuring that our club becomes so much more. Think of Grosse Pointe Yacht Club as an escape from the typical week or weekend. Between boating, networking, events, activities, and our family atmosphere, we’ve crafted the perfect haven from the hustle and bustle of life.

MEET GENERAL MANAGER

AARON WAGNER

"GPYC is truly a place like no other. The historic Clubhouse with its majestic bell tower is an awe-inspiring and well-known landmark. Our grounds and harbor are exceptional. While we continually strive to give our members an unparalleled experience in every facet of the Club, the most important offering to them is the gift of memories. Whether it’s a wedding, Mother’s Day Brunch, bowling birthday party or just another gorgeous day relaxing at the pool, we love that many of life’s greatest and simplest moments can be made right here at the Club. We are honored to be a part of your memories in the making."

MEET COMMODORE

ILJA VREEKEN

"Building on the successes of prior Commodores and their Boards, I am humbled and honored to serve as your 2018-2019 Commodore. Recent enhancements and additions to the Club align with our strategic objective and support our initiative to make the GPYC a dynamic “Club for all Seasons”.
My wife, Kelley and my three daughters, Kaitlyn, Pasha and Skye have enjoyed this Club throughout the years and as they get older it is clear that it holds a special place in their hearts. This is why we and our dedicated Board, Committee volunteers and Staff are passionate about maintaining the cache of this world class Club for future generations. Come share in the camaraderie while enjoying an unparalleled view with outstanding dining options and service that is second to none. If you are thinking of joining, we say, what are you waiting for? Come and participate in all the GPYC has to offer."
