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.
