Saginaw Bay Yacht Club
Our views take in the Saginaw Bay entrance and entertaining boat traffic set among our stunning flowered landscapes and park-like settings. The Saginaw Bay Yacht Club is the premier yacht club on the Saginaw River and Bay. Located one mile from the mouth of the Saginaw River in Essexville, vessels have quick, easy access to the Bay, the Great Lakes and beyond.

Established in 1894, the Club continues to add to its rich history in the Bay City/Essexville community by offering first-class nautical facilities for both power and sail along with many social activities and full dining facilities for the enjoyment of both boating and non-boating members.

The Chef is the best in Bay City. He makes everything amazing. His soups will make your taste buds sing. Service is okay. Eat on the deck if you can get a table. Watching the boats is fun

The staff are really attentive. The soup and salad bar is very well stocked. We had the house clam chowder and it is fantastic. The menu is modest but the food is good. The bar is wanting for a high end single malt but you can make due. Beautiful setting. .

It is a private club, present a membership card from nearly any private club in America and they will grant reciprocity for dinner and drinks. They offer reciprocity for overnight slips to virtually all members of private yacht clubs in Michigan. Call the Manager Kraig, if you have questions regarding reciprocity.

The membership at this club is very friendly and welcoming to visitors.

This is a great place to keep your boat for the season, the best place to eat on the Saginaw River. Chef Harry does an excellent job, I've never had a bad meal. Myles, Sarah and wait staff do a great job
