While the inclusion of the word “yacht” in the name might lead one to believe that a member should own a yacht, this isn’t always the case.  A yacht club is a membership organization that is dedicated to promoting and facilitating recreational boating activities, particularly sailing, yachting, and other water-based sports. A yacht club’s mission is to honor boaters and the sports of cruising, sailing, and yacht racing. One of the main benefits of joining a yacht club is that club members can race their watercraft under the U.S. sanctioned burgee, or flag, of the yacht club. This is a requirement for many boat races at the national and international levels.

Iron Mountain Yacht Club welcomes and embraces a broad mix of members to its ranks, from first-time boaters and newbies, to seasoned salts and former boat owners, from young families to active retired. Anyone who loves the water and water-related activities is embraced as a member of Iron Mountain Yacht Club!  We bring boaters together to improve their skills, make connections, or just enjoy time together.

Boating with friends makes it even better! Join us for boating activities, social events, learning together, and all-around boating fun. Learn boating skills. Engage in fun boating activities. Connect with the sailing/boating community.

Iron Mountain Yacht Club is a volunteer organization. If you are interested in volunteering or participating, please let us know!
