Starved Rock Yacht Club (SRYC) is a members-only boat club located just up-river from Starved Rock State Park, accessible from Dee Bennett Road, west of Naplate. We're privileged to be located along one of the most beautiful spots on the Illinois River between the bluffs of Buffalo Rock and, of course, beautiful Starved Rock.
Being a "private club" doesn't mean we're exclusive or unwelcoming. To the contrary, our structure, membership - and ownership - are keys to what makes SRYC such a great place to visit. Everybody contributes their unique skills - a formula that's worked since the Club's humble beginnings.

SRYC is something special. Our view of the ever-changing river helps remind us to embrace each weekend and every season. The surrounding land, sculpted by glaciers thousands of years ago, symbolizes the permanence of our established and venerable organization. While not documented until recently, our Mission and Core Values have shaped the Club's culture for nearly 80 years.
