The History of Danversport Yacht Club
Joseph DeLorenzo started out as a sheet metal fabricator and began his career as an entrepreneur. In the 1970s he started his own metal fabrication company called Del-West, Inc. He had always wanted to build a huge dance hall where people could gather and have a good time, and such the seeds were planted for Danversport Yacht Club.
Joe and his wife Barbara bought the 19 acres in 1969 and despite being on a tight budget, was able to create a beautiful masterpiece, while still being resourceful. A year later, on December 6, 1970 was the grand opening of the Danversport Yacht Club where there was dancing, dining, and cocktails with the whole community along the harbor.
Flash forward to now, and it is still as beautiful as when it was first built, with many different types of events being hosted. From weddings to birthday celebrations, it is a classic and timeless venue.
