Club Events
The Grosse Pointe Boat Club maintains camraderie throughout Michigan’s May-October boating season by gathering for monthly themed social events at The Littlest Club; by sponsoring two five-week sailboat race series (June–August, Wednesday evenings at the end of the Neff Park pier, first cannon at 7 pm!); and by meeting for weekend rendezvous at various locations on the Detroit River and Lake St. Clair.
Club members also enjoy off-season gatherings like our Oktoberfest and competitive chili cookoff, our Winter Solstice party, our Christmas party, and our Commodore’s Ball.
If you would like to host or co-host a GPBC event, or if you would like to join any event’s set-up or clean-up crew, please contact Commodore Paul Maiale. Extra helpful hands are always much appreciated.
Families with children are welcome at Club events!
Information for families attending events with children can be found here.
Please note that events held at Neff Park are the most family-friendly: there is a playground that is easily visible from our clubhouse, and these events feature a Junior Members’ snack table with kid-friendly foods.
