About St. Paul Yacht Club
Serving the Mississippi River boating community since 1912
The St. Paul Yacht Club is a non-profit entity (501 (c) 7) dedicated to safe and affordable boating on the Mississippi River. We have a full-time staff of two and an eleven-member volunteer Board of Directors.
We are a public marina devoted to safe, affordable boating. The membership is a wonderful cross-section of people from every walk of life. The common denominator among them all is a passion for boating and life on the Mississippi.
Our Mission
To promote safe and affordable boating while fostering a welcoming, community-driven environment for recreational river use.Leadership & Governance
