Located on beautiful, 650 acre Portage
Lake, in Pinckney, Michigan, our facility has something for everyone. With
a summer activities season May 1 through mid October, Portage Yacht Club (PYC)
provides swimming, volley ball, picnicking, and 197 berths for sail and motor boats.
Our modern clubhouse facility has all the amenities and you will enjoy a full
dining menu with a delightful view of the lake for your dining experience.
If you are looking to race your sailboat, this is the place. Our one-design
sailboat racing is a favorite pastime of many of our members and, with Midwest
Sailing on the premises, you have an excellent source for all your sail
boating needs.

Our contemporary 12,600 square foot building was completed
in 1994. On the ground level are two large multi-purpose rooms with water
views, deli, kitchen, locker rooms, coat room, club office and large front
deck opening onto the beach. Upstairs is a game room and an expansive
deck with panoramic views of Portage Lake.

Our two acres of shaded grass picnic grounds with large
mature trees, picnic tables, Weber grills, volleyball courts, soccer field
and jungle-gym swing sets, is a delightful space to spend a day. The gentle
breeze off the lake with the sunny skies will surely take away your stress.

The large, sandy beach with beach chairs, children's beach
toys and sand pile offers you the comforts of your own back yard. You
and your family will enjoy hours upon hours of fun.

dock and shallow-water jumping dock, waterslide, water volleyball net,

We have 197 berths for mostly sailboats and a few powerboats.
Ranging from racks with rollers for small boats such as canoes, Lasers,
Sunfish, etc., to hoisted berths for pontoons, power boats, centerboard
sailboats, and winged-keel sailboats up to 22 feet, our marina is arranged
along 1300 linear feet of dock.

are always near the picnic tables with a nice view of the water. A good
workout can always be rewarded with a nice, cool dip in the lake.

It takes five seasons for the Club to become fully vested in an initiation
fee, at a rate of 20% per season. Should you leave your membership prior to
five seasons of use, any initiations will be returned to you on a pro-rated
basis.
2014 members who renew in 2015 pay no initiation fee. New members, and former
members (1966-2014) who have not paid an initiation fee pay the full initiation
fee. Former members (1966-2014) who have paid an initiation fee pay the difference
between the initiation fee paid and the current initiation fee. When converting
from one membership category to another with a higher initiation fee, only the
difference must be paid. When a child previously eligible under their family's
Full Membership converts to their own Flag membership they pay only 50% of applicable
initiation fee.
When a member (new or renewing) adds a berth to their membership, there is
a marina initiation fee, which is noted on the Marina
Fees schedule. If a member changes to a more expensive berth, they pay only
the difference between the current initiation fees for the new berth and the
one they are leaving. It takes five seasons for the Club to become fully vested in an Initiation Fee, at a rate of 20% per season. Should you leave your membership prior to five seasons of use, any initiations will be returned on a pro-rated basis.
