Pentwater Yacht Club
Making Memories on the Lakes Since 1935
Founded in 1935, Pentwater Yacht Club (PYC) is a private, members-only organization that has been a proud part of the Pentwater community for nearly a century. Originally occupying a waterfront lumber warehouse, a new facility was constructed in 2022 to replace the aging structure. The location below the Village Green affords great westerly views of Pentwater Lake, and the channel to Lake Michigan. The Club offers a relaxed environment for those who love to gather and enjoy life on the lake.
The PYC is a not-for-profit corporation whose purpose is to stimulate and improve water activities including sailing, power boating, and associated sports; promote and engage in social activities, recreation and good fellowship; and sponsor the activities of the youth of the club. IRS Form 990 available upon written request.
