A friendly, beautifully located, private club: When you join Bird Key Yacht Club you become part of a small, friendly, family-oriented club committed to providing high value to its members. The Club prides itself on having a special atmosphere that fosters the development of new friendships and the pleasure of spending time with other members who share common interests.

Superb dining with the best view in Sarasota:  Our view of Sarasota is fantastic and the menu, developed by Chef Tom Thompson, offers a full range of culinary delights. Sit outside on the Aft Deck, or in the Sun Deck, and enjoy casual fare while you watch the boats enter and leave the Gulf through New Pass…. or you can dress up a bit and select from the full dining room menu, and still enjoy the City skyline. The view, food and friendships will bring you back again and again.

A full agenda of Social Events: Social activities with good friends are one of the highlights of membership. The Club has regularly scheduled parties and a wide range of theme events; there’s a weekly boaters luncheon; ladies meet monthly for a Sea Gals Luncheon and fashion shows draw both ladies and gents; the Art Committee sponsors a monthly show of members art work, and bridge and Mah Jong aficionados get together regularly for play and conversation.

Stay fit and healthy: The Club has three Har-Tru clay tennis courts which are regularly used for friendly games, round robins and tournaments…and our cardiac tennis program is getting great reviews. Enjoy a brisk work out in our fully equipped fitness center and adjacent swimming pool. In addition, Bird Key Yacht Club has an alliance with Laurel Oak Country Club where our members may play golf as well as utilize the other LOCC facilities.

Active boating and sailing programs: The marina at Bird Key Yacht Club is right off the ICW and we have a robust boating program. Every month our boaters organize cruises to one of the many interesting destinations in Florida. These short cruises are frequently extended, by some, into longer trips and bigger adventures. Also, every year Santa arrives by boat to the delight of the children and adults. In short, the Club is a great place to team up with friendly boaters and enjoy time on the water.

Tennis, workouts, boating, golf and swimming aren’t your cup of tea?

Well, we have groups of members who bicycle together, bowl, enjoy fiber arts, kayak, fish, line dance, attend book reviews, explore computers and photography, shoot skeet and trap….and if we don’t have an existing group that shares your particular passion, we expect it won’t take very long to form one.
