About
Sitting on the banks of the historic Columbia River, the Portland Yacht Club makes the perfect venue for a variety of events.
Founded in 1908 as a motor boat racing club, the venue boasts nostalgic decorations and stunning views of the North Portland Harbor and the Hayden and Tomahawk islands.
The clubhouse possesses four venues within: a grand ballroom, dining room, terrace patio, and ceremony lawn. With capacities for up to 300 guests, Portland Yacht Club facilitates a flawless event. Choose the bank of the river as a beautiful backdrop as the wind whispers gently, or the grand ballroom with its vaulted ceilings and French-inspired windows dramatically framing the greenery in the distance. The dining room lends an elegant ambiance while the patio allows you and your guests to experience the beauty of the river and breathtaking sunset, in a sophisticated but laid-back setting.
There’s nothing like an event on the banks of the river as the sun sets on Oregon’s oldest yacht club.

The Portland Yacht Club is a fun venue right on the Columbia River with plenty of parking, huge dance floor and a few ceremony options for those who want to get married here. They have an efficient full-service staff, full bar, in-house catering, a large outdoor patio facing the river, and very accommodating management. Great place for a milestone celebration!
