There is no location on Lake Erie better suited for the most gentlemanly of all sports, yachting, than the beautiful Presque Isle Bay upon which the Erie Yacht Club is located. A yacht club is a unique institution. It brings together those who love boats and time on the water, and becomes a very special place for its members. Boating and that which is associated with boating is the essence of a club. The commitment to boats and the fellowship of the sea provides the glue of the club. Social standing, entertainment, and activities of the social life are secondary. So it was at the Erie Yacht Club’s beginning and so it remains, as boats and yachting continue to be the focus of events, both Summer and Winter. On September 14, 1894, George T. Bliss, who served as Erie Yacht Club’s Commodore from 1895-1903 and 1908-1910, sent out “about fifty” circulars, information forms and return envelopes to interested parties concerning “a BOAT CLUB in Erie that will take all kinds of boats.”
