Bird Key Yacht Club (BKYC)

is one of the outstanding yacht Clubs on Florida's West Coast, and its story is closely linked with the history of Sarasota. 

While there are many wonderful clubs in Sarasota, BKYC has some very special features in a package that no other Club can equal. BKYC offers formal and casual dining to rival the best restaurants in Sarasota. Lunch, dinner and Sunday brunch are served in several venues that all have stunning waterfront views of Sarasota Bay and the Sarasota skyline.

The Club is ideally located only minutes from St. Armand's Circle and Lido Beach in one direction, and downtown Sarasota in another. It has a friendly, family atmosphere, but neither boating nor dining is its sole focus. Its purpose remains as it was at inception: to provide a unique social, dining and recreational experience for its members and friends.

Some members join the Club for the social events, parties, tennis, golf, bridge, art exhibits, excursions or the wide variety of other activities. Others join for the "dining club" and a beautiful place to entertain their friends and keep their boats. The waterfront setting provides a perfect location for weddings, anniversaries, banquets and family events.  Contact Rob Edwards, General Manager to book a wedding or other special events (941-953-4455).

One universal goal sets our Club apart from any other...BKYC is committed to welcoming newcomers and to preserving the warm and comfortable ambience that makes it truly a home away from home for all members.

Bird Key Yacht Club Profile

Members come not only from the entire Sarasota area, but also from all over the United States, Canada, Great Britain, France, Germany, Australia and many other countries. Their work and areas of expertise range from the professions ”medical and legal” to business, law enforcement, social services, military, communications and the arts. 

Many members are active artists, photographers, musicians, singers and authors.  This diverse group of friends and neighbors- ”many are newcomers" to Sarasota-create the uniqueness that attracts others seeking an open, friendly, and complete membership experience.

Joining Bird Key Yacht Club gives you the opportunity to participate in the numerous activities available here; it also allows you to experience the facilities of other clubs. Our members may visit Sarasota Yacht Club and the Field Club on Tuesdays when our Club is closed, or any day of the week by boat.  In addition, our members have special reciprocal privileges at Laurel Oak Country Club for dining, tennis and golf.

Bird Key Yacht Club was one of the original thirteen members of the Florida Council of Yacht Clubs (FCYC).  Today more than thirty clubs on both coasts, the Florida Keys and the Florida Panhandle are members of FCYC.  Bird Key members may visit any other member club, have a berth with the first night's dockage free, and have all charges for any club activities billed through Bird Key Yacht Club. Members may visit FCYC clubs either by boat or car.
