The Iron Mountain Yacht Club is excited to kick off the 2026 boating season with our Annual Kickoff Dinner on Saturday, April 25, 2026!
Fresh off the thrilling Hog Wild Catalina 22 Regatta the previous weekend, we’re gathering at the club (located at beautiful Iron Mountain Marina on DeGray Lake) for an evening dedicated to friendship, food, and fun on the water. This casual dinner is the perfect way to celebrate the start of another great year of sailing, boating, and lake adventures in the foothills of the Ouachita Mountains.
Whether you’ve just joined our members-only club, are considering getting involved, or simply love anything to do with the water, you’re invited! We especially want to extend a warm welcome to our new members—this is your chance to meet fellow enthusiasts, share stories, and learn more about what makes IMYC such a welcoming community.
Why You Should Come
- Get to know your fellow members: Put faces to names, swap tips on favorite coves, rigging tricks, or the best fishing spots on DeGray’s 13,000+ acres.
- Meet our new faces: We’re growing! Come introduce yourself—we’d love to hear about your boating background (or your dreams of getting started).
- Open to all boating enthusiasts: You don’t need to own a “yacht” (or even a boat!) to join the fun. From sailors and powerboaters to kayakers, fishermen, and anyone who enjoys lake life, all are welcome.
- Delicious food and good company: Expect a hearty dinner, refreshing drinks, and plenty of laughter. We’ll share updates on upcoming events, races, cruises, and club activities for the season ahead.
- Relaxed lakeside vibe: Enjoy the scenic DeGray Lake setting as the sun sets—there’s no better way to ease into spring and summer boating.
The Iron Mountain Yacht Club embraces everyone who loves the water, from first-timers and families to seasoned skippers. Our goal is simple: promote safe, enjoyable time on the lake while building lasting friendships.
