History

The EBC was founded in 1914 and started out as a men's sailing club with one finger of docks and a small storage building. The Club is one of the oldest boat clubs on the Detroit River. We are located on Lycaste, at the foot of Detroit Edison's Conner Creek Power Plant, minutes away from Lake St. Clair, downtown Detroit and Belle Isle. Today, we boast two riverside buildings, a 110 slip marina, sailing instruction, and year round entertainment. We are especially proud of the reputation we have developed as having a friendly and cordial membership. We welcome visitors from affiliated clubs.

The EBC offers a large variety of year round family entertainment for boat owners and non-boat owners alike. Enjoy affordable family dining with a world-class view of the Detroit River from our restaurant and bar. In addition to our dining facilities, the EBC offers pool and shuffleboard tables, an outdoor shuffleboard court, basketball hoop, horseshoes, air hockey, indoor darts and year round entertainment such as Euchre tournaments, Members’ rendezvous, and Jazz concerts on our front lawn. Members may also rent our ballroom for informal or formal events.
