Thank you for considering the Appleton Yacht Club to moor your vessel.  It will not take long before you to realize this organization is “Member Driven” not “Profit Driven.”  We have a long tradition of providing strong boating relationships, and urge our members to promote the spirit of good boating fellowship.  As a “Yachting Member” you gain many benefits.

CLUBHOUSE

 

The clubhouse offers spectacular wrap-around views of the harbor, and the historic “Mighty Fox” River.  The clubhouse is open seven days a week. Members are able to enjoy many amenities at our meandering bar including appetizers, grilled chicken, burgers, homemade pizzas, and more.  There are a wide variety of libations being served by our friendly staff at reasonable prices. Two patio areas beckon you outside with heaters, umbrellas, and a gas grill for your pleasure.

 

The comfortable dining room/banquet facility, with its expansive windows, offers a great view of the water from every seat. On Wednesday’s our specials include mouth-watering ribs, chicken dinners, and more. Our Friday menu offers a variety of tasty seafood choices.  We also offer some Daily and Seasonal Specials. All of this is prepared by our club chef, and served by our friendly wait staff.

 

At the clubhouse we have a variety of events and parties year round that you are welcome to attend.  You may also invite friends and family to join these festivities.  Your membership also grants you the privilege of using the club facilities to host private functions, free of charge, for such events as: business meetings, birthdays, reunions, weddings, showers, graduation, and retirement parties.  You are able to use our house catering service, or bring in your own food and use the kitchen facilities, but all beverages must be purchased at the bar.

MARINA

 

We have 75 slips and tie-ups sheltered from wind, waves, and stormy weather.  The entire harbor area is fenced and lighted for your safety and security.  All slips include water, electricity, and night lighting.  Thirty of these slips are COVERED, and available for winter storage.  There is a work slip available for maintenance, and/or repairs. You will gain access to the club’s Tack Room where our jacks, hoists, and slings are available for your use.  Work rafts are also available for the “do it yourselfers.” You will appreciate the free pump-out privilege, and the convenience of a gas pump 24/7 with approved credit.

 

Two bathhouses are available in the marina, and are accessible anytime.  The bathhouse on the east end of the marina has a refrigerator and pizza oven, as well as a covered patio area with furniture and gas grills.  In addition there are 5 other locations on the premises with a variety of green spaces, decks and patios that provide places to socialize.  Many of these areas have picnic tables, chairs, and gas or charcoal grills available for your use.

 

PRIVILEGES

 

Your membership allows you to enjoy the amenities of other “Yachting Club of America” participating marinas.  As a “Yachting Member” you have a voice in club management with voting rights, and the ability to hold office in any position of our governing body. You will be given a clubhouse key card, and receive a monthly newsletter to keep you informed of the upcoming month’s social events, parties, menu specials, educational classes, and other activities

 

What you might enjoy the most is it will not matter how gusty or windy the day, as you will always be able to go boating on a naturally sheltered river to destinations like Menasha and Neenah.  Our harbor provides peaceful surroundings, fresh air, and an abundance of natural beauty.  There are many more advantages, but may we suggest you contact Skip Palermo, Lessor of Docks, to give you the details, arrange a tour of our facility, and grant you the opportunity to “try us out” for a day as our guest.  Skip can be reached at epal@athenet.net or 920-734-2385.
