St. Pete Yacht Club to be torn down, rebuilt in 5 years. Here’s why.

  • Bernadette Berdychowski Times staff

Hurricane Ian was a wake-up call, said St. Petersburg Yacht Club rear commodore Joe DiVito.

For several years, St. Petersburg Yacht Club leaders discussed options to renovate the century-old downtown facility on Beach Drive. But after the devastation of yacht clubs farther south in the Fort Myers area from the Category 4 storm originally forecast to hit Tampa Bay , DiVito said they had to act.

“Hurricane Ian was a message that said, you need to plan for the future if you’re going to spend this much money,” DiVito explained.

Their plan? Tear down the yacht club and start anew.

But demolition won’t happen soon. The St. Petersburg Yacht Club is thinking five years ahead, said DiVito, who’s third in command and the club’s appointed project spokesperson. The downtown organization, which has about 2,500 members, needs to raise funds for a project that could cost up to $40 million, find a temporary replacement home and finalize architectural designs to have the rebuilding completed by 2028.

Membership fees would go up from $50 to $125 a month to help finance construction costs, DeVito said.

He added the new building would incorporate the same Mediterranean architectural style as the current club.

The waterfront yacht club at 11 Central Ave. was originally constructed in 1917 and has had several renovations throughout its history. In 1921, it was hit by the last major hurricane to make landfall in the Tampa Bay region, which caused extensive flood damage to the building, according to club archives. Membership still increased after that storm, and the building extended its clubhouse in 1922.

Many parts of the building are now on their last legs, DiVito said. And with a bustling downtown, members wanted more amenities.

Remodeling would be too expensive because the waterfront building isn’t up to newer Federal Emergency Management Agency standards to be insured in case a storm hits. Starting fresh would allow the building to comply with those standards and add amenities and more parking space for a growing membership.

“Looking at the damage of the hurricane and how we’ve been lucky for almost 100 years, it doesn’t make any sense to put $15 million into a building that’s at major flood risk of being hit,” DeVito said. “And you lose all that money and have to start over again because flood insurance doesn’t pay dollar for dollar.”

I had the opportunity to visit this place with some friends that were members. You can dock your boat and walk right up and ask for a table. They have changed their entry procedures a bit to take your temperature but it's quick and easy. We got to sit outside and there was a little bit of a chill to the air. It's a good way to take in the view. The food was decent. The bang bang broccoli are interesting. Slightly spicy. I had the blackened grouper sandwich. It was good and I'd probably have it again. They also have a variety of wines that pair well with your food.

As a whole, the SPYC is a very good club. I know more about the Pass-a-Grille location, as my parents have been members there since the days when it was the Pass-a-Grille Yacht Club. Now that the two have combined, it's the best of both worlds. You have the casual intimate setting of the Pass-a-Grille location (which is walking distance for many of its members) and the fancier downtown location. Since this entry is for the Pass-a-Grille location I'll just say I've always enjoyed my visits here. The staff and service are top notch, and the restaurant and bar are a very pleasant location for lunch, dinner or just drinks. It is members only, so you'll have to buddy up with a member if you are looking to visit. North Latitude 27 degrees 46 minutes 18 seconds West Longitude 82 degrees 37 minutes 55 seconds

St. Pete Yacht Club’s redevelopment plans inch forward

Mark Parker

The St. Petersburg Yacht Club’s leadership now has a tentative goal to demolish the waterfront landmark – first opened in 1917 – and build anew in fiscal year 2028-29.

Members received the latest project update Monday. The email, obtained by the Catalyst , followed several Building Replacement Oversight Committee (BROC) meetings from July 2023 through February.

The update describes a “bottoms-up approach” to determine site utilization and maximize construction resources primarily provided by club dues. The Yacht Club has completed a property survey at 11 Central Avenue, soil tests and gathered information regarding city ordinances and easements.

The Feb. 27 BROC meeting minutes state that global engineering firm Skanska will lead the master planning phase and prepare conceptual designs to share with city officials and members. Pre-cast concrete massing models, which illustrate what could fit at the site, provided two building options that include 48,500 square feet of airconditioned space and a pool.

“Now that we know the most we can put there, we have to start thinking about what we want to put inside,” said rear commodore and project spokesperson Joe DiVito in a subsequent interview. “That’s going to take a series of meetings with a whole group of people and committees.”

He expects members to discern how much space they want to allocate for a new restaurant, ballroom and meeting areas in six to 10 months. Stakeholders must also decide if they should build a new parking garage.

The Yacht Club built the current structure in the 1980s to withstand a Category 1 hurricane. DiVito said withstanding a Category 4 is the new building standard, and officials are receiving cost estimates to bring it up to code.

“By the time we finish construction, we’re going to have a 45-year-old parking garage,” he added. “Choice two is tearing the whole thing down, building the parking garage underneath the club and building the club above it. That has not been decided.”

Mother nature is playing a prominent role in the project. The “ Great Hurricane of October 1921 ” forced a complete rebuild four years after the Yacht Club opened.

Hurricane Ian highlighted the need for a more environmentally resilient facility when it hit Southwest Florida in late September 2022 and decimated several similar yacht clubs.

An unnamed hurricane caused significant flooding to the facility in October 1921. Screengrab.

In addition, stakeholders expressed the need for a new elevator, roof and pool deck, an updated kitchen and electrical repairs. In June 2023 , former club president Brian K. Smith told club members that an expensive remodel would still not comply with current Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) regulations.

The building’s floor elevation is six feet below building standards, and FEMA rules mandate a complete replacement if storm damage exceeds 50% of the facility’s appraised value. DiVito said those factors could influence the construction timeline.

“It could change based on costs, based upon storms – hurricanes that we get – any number of factors,” he explained. “We don’t know what the costs are going to be in four and a half to five years – so, it might take a little longer,” DiVito added. “And we could have somebody say, ‘I’d like to give you x amount of dollars to help with construction,’ and we could start earlier.”

According to meeting minutes, Yacht Club officials will meet with the city’s historical preservation staff to obtain demolition approval. The document notes that organizations, such as Preserve the ‘Burg, may want to “voice their opinion.”

While there is a 50-foot height restriction above base flood level, the Yacht Club could build up to 75 feet with city approval following a public hearing. The emailed update states that there is time “to be thoughtful and methodical prior to officially engaging the team that will deliver a timeless, elegant and functional clubhouse that embodies the spirit of our prestigious club while meeting the needs and aspirations of our members.”

The Yacht Club has already started building a new event pier and 475-foot floating dock. DiVito said the existing structure is over 50 years old and was becoming a “real problem.”

The new pier will better accommodate regattas and several other events hosted at the facility. “We tackled that first, and I think it’s going to be a tremendous asset to the club and the community,” DiVito said.

This has a very good chance of bankrupting this club. Ask treasure island and Sarasota. Let’s hope they learned from the current docks debacle.

As an 8yr member of the club, I cannot wait to see this building demolished and built a new. St Pete and Preserve the Burg should still maintain that historic look, while updating the entire property from the inside out.

There is need and then there is reality, no one knows how they are going to pay for this, the target figure is around $54M, who knows in 5+ years. I do not support “if its old, pull it down” ideology …FEMA or not, this concept would endanger a large percentage of Downtown St Pete (and most coastal areas). The new marina they are building is now way behind schedule and costs gone from $5M+ to 8M+. Not sure where 2400 members (apron 3400 individuals)are going to go for 2 years. I thing SPYC Board has an agenda, which is not shared by all members.

It was in 1990 that the SPYC proposed to close the easternmost section of 1st Ave. North that passed through south Straub Park. We had a weak Mayor/City Manager form of government then and an agreement was reached to close the street and allow the footprint of the club house to expand. The St.Petersburg now Tampabay Times has archived articles about the process. The renovation that was completed 1992 is how the site looks today.

How Much Do Yacht Club Memberships Cost? (5 Helpful Examples)

' src=

Joining a yacht club is an important milestone in your life. It marks a certain degree of success and allows you to enjoy plenty of luxurious amenities. Setting sail on a yacht is the ultimate way to unwind from a hectic work week while you try to climb the corporate ladder.

Fortunately, there are yacht clubs all over the country that would love to welcome you as a brand-new member. You can enjoy an afternoon on the water with a beautiful yacht in exchange for a small sum of money.

But how much do Yacht Club memberships generally cost?

Prices for Yacht Clubs will vary based on your location, the fleet, and even the amenities that are offered at the marina. The average annual membership price is between $900-$4,000 depending on your level of luxury and needs.

To give you an idea of what you could expect to pay for your yacht club membership, here are some numbers gathered from across the country:

What Does Each Yacht Club Offer?

Each yacht club is going to offer something that sets it apart from the others on this listing. To give you a better idea of where your money is going, here is a brief synopsis of what you can expect at each location.

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.

st pete yacht club 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.
