Berlin Yacht Club is a family-friendly club with members from all walks of life who love to sail. There are three types of memberships open to new members:
Regular membership – Regular members have full rights to participate in racing and social events at the Club, may store a boat on club property, and are expected to serve on race committee at least once a year and help with occasional work parties such as opening the clubhouse in the spring.
Young adult membership – similar to active membership with the same privileges and responsibilities as active members, but young adult members ages 18 to 23 pay half dues.
Associate membership – Associate members have full rights to participate in racing and social events at the Club, but they may not store a boat on club property or launch a boat from club property. Associate membership is basically for persons who mainly want to crew on someone else’s boat, and do not own a sailboat. Associate members are expected to serve on race committee at least once a year and help with occasional work parties such as opening the clubhouse in the spring. Associate members pay half dues.
All questions must be answered in full and an application fee of $26.81 (including sales tax) must be paid for the application to be considered. Please print.

Berlin Yacht Club is located between Akron and Youngstown, Berlin Lake sits within Portage, Mahoning and Stark Counties and offers a large open body of water that is well suited to sailing all season long. The club grounds are open to members year around with the Club House building open May thru October.
BYC has much to offer families and sailors:
Club house with full kitchen, fireplace, bathrooms, showers
Drysail boat storage
Large concrete launch ramp
Singlehanded boat storage and launching at the club
The Club House is situated on a bluff overlooking the lake where watching the eagles soar above the lake, beautiful sunsets and the boats flying across the lake are a fun summer time treat.
Contact Us for more information. One of our members will get in touch with you as soon as possible. If you would like to stop by the club grounds and look around, there are scheduled activities on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Sundays where you'll probably get invited to go sailing.
