The clubhouse was built in the 1860s and is listed on the Michigan Register of Historic Places. The property started as the North Channel Shooting Club in 1869 became NCYC in 1981. The clubhouse today includes a dining room and dance area; full bar; bathrooms and showers; a kids’ room with TV, videogames and toys; commercial kitchen; second floor with sleeping rooms for members; large covered patio; and a retail store. The well-maintained grounds include plenty of opportunities for outdoor fun, from a designated swimming area and a playground to gas grills.	“There also is a historical lighted cupola with an observation deck on the fourth level, which serves as a navigational aid,” P.C. Dickson adds. The clubhouse is open from Memorial Day through the second week of October, but the club holds social activities and events throughout the offseason. Several classes of membership are available, and the club enjoys reciprocity with many other clubs across the Great Lakes and the U.S. One thing makes the club particularly unique. “We are a working club, where the members handle all the day-to-day operations,” Dickson explains. “This results in lower costs and very affordable annual dues. New members are often surprised by how affordable we are.” There are more than 80 deepwater slips at the club, all with water and full power. Most slips can accommodate boats from 15 to 50 feet; some can handle boats up to 100 feet. There are 10 transient slips available, so making reservations is recommended. “We represent a beautiful, more affordable boating destination with spectacular views of pristine St. Clair Flats marshlands and islands for our members and guests,” P.C. Dickson says.
