About South shore yacht club

Welcome to the biggest, friendliest and most inclusive yacht club on Lake Michigan, bringing together folks from all walks of life. While we have our blue-blazer traditions, no one ever called us stuffy. What you'll find is a more laid-back vibe that invites people to just be themselves, away from the pressures of life in general. We're a busy gathering place year round, unlike typical yacht clubs that go into winter hibernation. Dues and slip fees are surprisingly affordable, in part because our passionate members help maintain the place. Being a major Great Lakes yacht club, we host an exciting sailing and power boating scene. Yet, a growing segment of members don't even own boats. For them, SSYC is all about fellowship, in the most romantic spot on Milwaukee's lakefront. Smack in the heart of the city's most happening neighborhood. Transient Dockage Contact our dockmaste by VHF radio on channel 16. Daytime transient dockage is available in the "U" in front of the clubhouse. To stay overnight at SSYC, you must belong to a yacht club. Overnight dockage is not open to the public. The fee is $1.50 per LOA of vessel per day, whether you tie up in the horseshoe or in a transient slip. All dockage is on a first-come, first-served basis. Availability can be checked by calling the club at (414) 481-2331 and asking for the dockmmaster. We also offer fuel, pumpouts, showers and food and beverage service to visitors from reciprocating yacht clubs. Please note that no laundry facilities are available.
