About The Winthrop Harbor Yacht Club

The WHYC is rich with Lake Michigan boating history for our section of Lake Michigan.

The Club was incorporated in 1994, shortly after North Point Marina opened. We were founded as a completely volunteer-ran organization; our members contribute from everything to the beautification, upkeep, and running of our building and grounds to managing finances and the bar.

As part of this volunteer spirit, our members enjoy the benefits of low dues while being able to contribute to what they want to see happen. We truly believe that our Club is for the members, by the members, and we promote those values through every interaction with have with each other.
