Charleston Yacht Club

Charleston is a premier cruising destination with plenty of waterways for you to explore. They offer a launch hoist, dry slips, day dockage, free parking, and a long list of events scheduled throughout the year.

You also gain privileges at other yacht clubs around the world. If you don’t own your own yacht, they have plenty of members who often have room on their boats to accommodate a few extra passengers.

Florida Yacht Club

The Florida Yacht Club is a relatively exclusive club that features amazing amenities like fine dining and an array of aquatic activities.

You can play tennis, enjoy a spa treatment or massage, or get in a rousing game of croquet from the shore. They also host events and permit you to extend your privileges to other locations scattered around the Florida coast.

Atlanta Yacht Club

The Atlanta Yacht Club is primarily geared toward sailors who are interested in racing. They have a fleet of more than thirty different boats that are designed to help you further your knowledge of sailing.

If you still have a lot to learn, you can even take classes at this location. Prospective members must be sponsored and co-sponsored by two club members for entrance.

What are the Cheapest Yacht Clubs?

The cheapest yacht clubs charge just under $1,000 per year for membership. While this does give you access to different types of experiences, you may be disappointed by the overall amenities.

Some yacht clubs are known for their extravagant country club styles that help you to embrace a particular lifestyle. They include Olympic-sized swimming pools, state-of-the-art tennis courts, and fine dining.

Everything has a beautiful waterfront view. It can feel like you are in the middle of an idyllic paradise without ever even having to leave the shore. If this is what you can gain from the most expensive yacht clubs, you should set your expectations much lower for the cheaper yacht clubs.

The cheaper yacht clubs lack the community aspect of these exclusive options. They feature dry slips and the occasional party, but not much more.

Some of them may have the feel of a county park with some picnic benches, outdoor grills, and a moderately sized swimming pool. Expect a much more casual atmosphere when you choose to go with a cheaper yacht club.

It is even possible that they are simply “paper yacht clubs” that do not even maintain a physical building of their own.

How Much Do the Most Expensive Yacht Clubs Cost to Join?

The most expensive yacht clubs can vary a great deal in price. Most of them will cost between $3,000 and $4,000 per year. However, you can certainly find more exclusive clubs that will cost above and beyond this.

Keep in mind that these more expensive clubs generally are not open to the public. They are offered by invitation only and you must have a member sponsor you to be considered for entrance.

When you are paying for a more expensive yacht club, you should make sure that you are really going to get your money’s worth. These expensive clubs promote a certain type of elegant lifestyle.

Make sure that you are planning to take advantage of all the amenities available from one of these clubs before you sink too much money into the membership fees. The social aspect of these expensive yacht clubs is extremely important.

If you plan to simply rent a boat from time to time, you might be able to go with a cheaper yacht club.

What Is Generally Included in the Membership Fee for Yacht Clubs?

Have you been wondering why you should join a yacht club? Many potential members want to know what they can expect from their membership fees before they commit to a year-long contract. There are many advantages to signing up for a membership with a well-known yacht club.

Amenities and Activities

First and foremost, you get access to activities and cruises planned by board members. These might be various sailing activities, dinners, get-togethers, tennis matches, or other events that take up a lazy Sunday afternoon.

You also gain access to any amenities that surround the yacht club’s marina. For many programs, this means a fitness center, pool, and tennis courts. Several locations also offer fine dining, meeting rooms, and more.

It is like a private oasis where you can get away from the hustle and bustle of the regular world. Time moves slowly when you’re enjoying the amenities here.

Many yacht clubs have programs that introduce children (and adults!) to sailing. Take classes to learn more about improving your technique, sailing safety, and other important aspects of life on the open water.

Access to the Fleet

The main reason why most people join yacht clubs is to be able to rent out boats instead of purchasing their own. Joining a yacht club may give you access to an entire fleet of yachts that can be reserved for a day or weeks at a time. Some yacht clubs allow you to rent boats for up to ten days at a time.

Others do not allow you to rent out ships. They are primarily geared toward individuals who already own a yacht or will own a yacht in the future. Make sure you know the difference in advance.

charlotte harbor yacht club membership cost

Are There any Additional Costs Besides the Membership Fees?

Unfortunately, the membership fees are not the only cost associated with joining a yacht club. Most of the clubs in the United States also have a one-time initial fee that tends to cost thousands of dollars. Many will range from $1,500 to $5,000 depending on the location and the exclusivity of the yacht club.

This one-time fee should be the only additional money you pay except for fuel. Most yacht clubs do not cover the cost of the fuel used in the ship during your rental if renting is an option. Be prepared for what this could cost you.

If you cause damage to the ship, you can also expect some out-of-pocket costs. Insurance should cover the damage, but you will likely be asked to cover the cost of the deductible.

Be sure to inquire about how much you may be on the hook for before you sign up for any particular yacht club. Accidents can happen, even to the most experienced sailors. Make sure that you can afford the mishap in advance.

Is a Yacht Club Membership Right for You?

Understanding what the real cost of a yacht club membership is can be the first step toward determining if this is right for you. Many people love the luxuries available through the more expensive yacht clubs, but they may not be able to afford it. Consider what is most important in a club to you before deciding to sign on the dotted line for an annual membership.

I would give it 0 stars if I could. We hosted an event here and the management is awful. Beverly (Bev) the manager is extremely rude and unprofessional. I had a question on my invoice for the event and I tried to get clarification on it. I was told by her that I am 'stalling' making the payment when I only needed to ask a simple question (the day after the event). Don't host your event here, take your business elsewhere. I have done over 25 events with my office and have never had an experience like this.

Photo of Nicole R.

Had an event here and couldn't have been more impressed with the food, the staff, etc. everyone couldn't have been nicer or more accommodating. Highly recommend for events or membership.

Photo of Kaitlyn B.

I recently attended an event of approximately 30 people. We were contacted prior to submit our choice of two entrees. The venue was lovely and clean. The issue was with the food. At the last minute the Yacht club decided without notice to change the menu and your choice was no longer an option. The food was horrible. The service was a mess. I guess that's what happens when you put YOUNG teenagers in charge. Very disappointed!!!

It's difficult to know which part of the wedding I attended was a responsibility of the yacht club or others brought in. The ceremony was outside and there weren't enough chairs. Someone told me they used the caterers from Charlotte Harbor Yacht Club. We were given a little melted Brie with some fruit, lots of bread and crackers. The Brie has a crust and the bread was covering the platter. Because I'm allergic to wheat I could not partake. There was a pasta bar which, at first I wasn't a fan of. There were frying pans set up on about 6 separate burners. Proteins were sausage, shrimp and chicken of which I had all 3. Some veggies like spinach, mushrooms, onions and peppers. You choose the pasta, even gnocchi and they had gluten free along with red or white sauces that were both gluten free. It was actually quite good. Nice and fresh. The food was secondary to the Windows, water and beautiful sunset. This is a beautiful place for any function. Luckily we had beautiful weather because if it wasn't it would have been awful - no matter what we there to celebrate.

Charlotte Harbor Yacht Club is an ideal wedding venue - a beautiful interior and sweeping views of Charlotte Harbor. Our wedding ceremony there was flawless - there's nothing we would have changed about it! There's ample space for preparation, and plenty of room both inside and out for the ceremony. Our cocktail hour was in the Ship's Wheel bar area, and we went to the larger harbor Room for the reception (we had the run of the building for the day). Everything was set up exactly like we wanted. The food was simply outstanding, from the hors d'oeuvres (pecan chicken, shrimp fritters, bruschetta, and a fruit and cheese board) to the entrees (prime rib, chicken marsala, and cedar plank salmon). Everyone we talked to enjoyed the food, and the Prime Rib was among the best we've ever tasted. The dishes mentioned were just what we picked from the nearly countless selections and options that they offer for the catering service - it's well worth it. Vicki, the club manager, is an absolute treasure. She offers her services as a coordinator for a more-than-reasonable fee - take her up on it (I can't emphasize this enough). She has a long list of vendors - all of the vendors we talked to (even the ones we didn't go with) knew her and enjoyed working with her. She told us that her job was to "be in the background", which she was - until we needed something. She had a sixth sense as to when we might have a question or need something. Her staff is well-trained and like her, has a passion for customer service. She kept the vendors and staff going, and the event ran as if it was on rails. If you're looking to get married in Charlotte County, we'd recommend the Charlotte Harbor Yacht Club (and Vicki) enthusiastically and without reservation!

Our Membership

The purpose of the Gulf Harbour Yacht Club is two-fold: one, to promote the enjoyment, knowledge, and safety of boating through organized cruises and social functions; and two, to help members develop new and lasting friendships among people with common interests.

The Club has a general membership dinner meeting, usually held on the first Tuesday of each month, for socializing. At Boaters’ Night, usually held the first Thursday of each month, news, upcoming cruises, and topics of interest are presented to the membership.

“Regular Membership” in yacht club is open to anyone who owns or has a financial interest in a boat registered in Lee, Charlotte, or Collier Counties and owns property in the Gulf Harbour Community. “Property” in the Gulf Harbour Community is defined as a home or boat slip. Canoes, kayaks, jet skis, dinghies, jon boats, workboats, and commercial boats do not qualify a boat owner for membership. The Yacht Club Board reserves the right to review any boat that falls into these categories or is questionable as to whether it qualifies.

Members are encouraged to attend all membership dinner meetings, Boaters’ Night, club social events, and participate in planned cruises.

Those interested in joining may do so by completing a Membership Application Form and paying the membership dues. These forms are available here or at the Gulf Harbour Marina and may be left in the GHYC Mailbox adjacent to the Marina office, or mailed to Gulf Harbour Yacht Club, c/o Membership Chair, 14490 Vista River Drive, Fort Myers, FL 33908.
