Yacht Club Venice, excellence and luxury in Venice
In the heart of the wonderful and superb city of Venice that the whole world envies and where the people have an almost symbiotic relationship with the sea that surrounds it, is located the Yacht Club Venezia , a name known to sportspeople and sailing enthusiasts all over the world .
Located in the historic building where once the “ Gallette ” was produced for the fleet of the Serenissima. Inside the Marina Sant’Elena, the only marina located in the historic centre of Venice , the Yacht Club Venezia was born from an idea of Mirko Sguario , who aims to bring the excellence of sailing and its significant following in the heart of the Serenissima.
Sguario soon becomes an i mportant reference point in the organization of major events . His first event in 1993, the regatta for couples “HIM and HER”, proved to be a real triumph. It aimed to involve as many people of all ages, sailors or not, attracting both newcomers and owners, who used to use the boat only for pleasure, to the race circuit. “HIM and HER” became a success destined to grow and break every record , year after year until reaching the record number of 136 boats in the 2000 edition.
His skills, knowledge and quality as an excellent organizer led him over the years to collect one success after another as for example the Cooking Cup . The Cup was born from an innovative concept that combined the race with the preparation of a dish in the galley onboard. And more as the Aquileone Race , the Sci-Vela , another premiere in the Veneto region that was expanded with the speciality of golf.
This is how “ Golf Vela Sciando ” was born, another success with hundreds of participants of all ages and with famous champions such as Bruno Alberti and Cristian Ghedina, who participated in the 2009 edition , also as testimonials of a humanitarian project.
Subsequently with the X-Yacht Adriatic Cup, Sguario brings t he most technological and performing boats to Venice . Experience and expertise led him to become a leading light in the racing world, so much so that in 2006 he was called to the direction of the International Boat Show in Venice to take care of the sports events.
Among the new challenges, Sguario wanted to bring vintage sails back to Venice, finding a great ally in the Consulate of the Principality of Monaco in Venice : this is how the Monaco Trophy was born, in its seventh edition in 2019 .
When Stefano Costantini inaugurated the Marina Sant’Elena in 2014, Mirko Sguario sensed the possibility of organizing a great regatta like never before seen in Venice. The Venice Hospitality Challenge was born, a race by invitation only for Maxi yachts, each one combined with a 5-star luxury Venetian hotel .
The Venice Hospitality Challenge is the only regatta in the world that takes place in an urban itinerary such as the F1 Grand Prix of Montecarlo. Every year, the Venice Hospitality Challenge sees internationally renowned boats and skippers battle to win the coveted Doge’s hat, specially made by historic Murano glassworks.
Spectacularity is always in the first place: the race course takes place in front of “Piazza San Marco” and when the fleet arrives in “Canale della Giudecca” , which is less than 250 metres wide at its narrowest point, the public is always in suspense. Last year’s 6th edition of the Venice Hospitality Challenge saw no less than fourteen Maxi Yachts lined up on the starting line and victory went to Way of Life – The Gritti Palace , helmed by Slovenian skipper Gaspar Vincec .
With events like this, Venice confirms itself as an extraordinary city , a world reference point that pushes to more and more complex challenges but that in the end, rewards with unforgettable emotions.

Just joined the Venice Yacht Club and can't say enough how informative Pam was in helping us becoming members. The facilities are fantastic, the food, is amazing. I have been members of other country clubs and the food here at Venice Yacht Club is hands down better than any of my former Country Clubs. Looking forward to many years of fun here at Venice Yacht Club
We love visiting the club as a reciprocal guest. It is such a wonderful club to spend a night. The food and the staff inside are so wonderful. My wife and I do miss the old Dockmaster's Ted and Bo. They always made us feel so welcome and went out of their way to make us feel special. The new guy with the beard seems a little off and made my wife feel uncomfortable with a few of his comments. The Tiki Bar rocks and you couldn't ask for a more pleasant place to spend the night. We always look forward to our stays at the Venice Yacht Club.
This place is the best, great dock master, tiki bar, staff! Stayed one night at the dock on our Cat while sailing up the west coast Meet some great friends Kirsten and John Whitehead, hope to see them again soon! The food was fresh and delicious at the Yacht Club and we will be back soon!
Spending a night here on Squisita
Fun July 4th party! Snow cones, pool games and a large water slide. The food was good. We are outside in the shade. Salads and burgers.
I have written about the month long celebration I am enjoying for my birthday. This time, 2 of my friends offered to treat me here to dinner, and it was absolutely lovely. Food, service, atmosphere could not have been better. There was a pasta buffet, so many choices, I wish I had another stomach to fill, there was just so much good to choose from. You need to be a member, or guest of a member to attend, so I am definitely glad I was invited here. EXCELLENT CHOICE!
I LOVE THIS PLACE. Very nice employees. Fun environment. We have had a membership there for almost 2 years. Great place to eat, swim, hang out , have a get together with friends, good location .
Ate dinner outside by the Tiki bar. Selected the chef's special...blackened grouper with blackened shrimp. Entree came with rice & snap peas. Excellent. Nice setting, John is a friendly bartender. We have eaten here multiple times since first review and joined club as members. Great staff and amenities. Chef Josh provides an excellent variety of seafood dishes.
This place was packed when I stumbled onto the solid dock, sea legs trembling beneath me, feet stained brown by the Suns rays, cowl up protecting my eyes from its radiating reflection of off calm water. I was parched, stressed, and sore after 13+ hours of being tossed by a salty sea, granule filled water droplets pelting my skin all day, leaving crystalline drops on all of my clothing as I powered through with the hopes of reprieve on the horizon. The bar was full when I arrived, with a lone bar tender servicing the entire place by himself. Turns out, a wedding party had booked the main restaurant, and any spontaneous guests were being reroute do to the outside bar. It's really quite a nice little dock bar, with a good draft beer selection, along with all of the traditional liquor combinations you might want. The bartender, John, was overwhelmed, but very cool, and he made sure everyone knew what was going on. He was definitely skilled, and provided great service, especially considering the deluge of customers that had surged into his limited space. The chicken wings were crispy but moist, the nachos weren't bad, and the Greek salad was quite good! The food was tasty, the bartender John handled the situation admirably, provided good service, AND miraculously maintained a great attitude, and I was a satisfied customer! I hope he's there if you go- he was headed to Poland for a well deserved break last I checked....

Venice Yacht Club Hosts Charity Ride
VYC Charitable Foundation's 4th Annual Fun Ride Will Raise Needed Funds
Article by Don Healy
Photography by Dave Slaman
Originally published in Venice City Lifestyle
In 2018, the Venice Yacht Club Charitable Foundation began a new tradition as part of its fundraising events, adding a community bike ride. In addition to encouraging participants of all ages to enjoy the beauty of Venice Island, all riders received financial sponsors enabling the Foundation to raise approximately $8,000. The VYCCF provides an average of $115,000 in grants a year to local Venice/South County charities focused on literacy, homelessness, fighting hunger and veteran services.
By 2020, the third ‘Ride For A Better Community’ grew to over 150 riders, raising $48,000 that would help provide emergency funding for charities inundated with community need, driven by Covid-19. As the 2020 crises unfolded, the Foundation committed to give out 100% of its total receipts and just has kicked off its 2021 year of caring. Dave Slaman, 2021 Foundation and Bike Ride chairperson, knows that the challenges of need will be great, but is confident we are on our way to a highly successful year.
Joe Terranova, 2021 Commodore of the Yacht Club explains: “It is with a great deal of excitement and anticipation that the Venice Yacht Club Charitable Foundation enters its second decade. The VYCCF continues to do the most good for the most people at risk, by providing financial and volunteer assistance to numerous charities throughout Sarasota County. The 4th Annual ‘Ride For A Better Community,’ to be held on February 21, 2021, is the Foundation’s signature fundraising event and has proven to be a fun, healthy and rewarding experience. I encourage all members of our community to join in the fun and either ride and / or sponsor a rider. I can assure you that 100% of the funds raised go to help those in need in our community.”
Registration has begun and community sponsors are already lining up to insure a successful event. Our riders include grandparents to grandkids ages 8 to 85, when the VYCCF hosts this fun and healthy event. A modest registration/donation fee of $50 per rider includes a commemorative shirt and post-ride breakfast at the Venice Yacht Club. But most critical will be the enthusiastic sponsorship that each rider gathers, which fund the grants awarded each year to the community. In fact, 2020 marked a milestone for the Foundation, as its 10-year gift total exceeded $750,000! Registration and sponsorship can be found on-line at Secure.ministrysync.com/ministrysync/event/?e=20247
So please help the VYC Foundation enter its second decade of providing hope and opportunity to those in-need. You can also research the Foundation’s mission and grant history at: Vyccf.com

4 Boat Clubs In Venice, Florida You Should Know
Venice has an array of superior boat clubs awaiting you. The options are both tempting and limitless.
Even better, they all come with different perks for many kinds of boat lovers like you!
It all just depends on which boat club suits you and your personal sailing goals the best.
Without further ado, here are the 5 premier boat clubs in Venice, Florida, for you to take note of:
Table of Contents
1. Freedom Boat Club
If what you’re looking for is a true, laid-back boating club experience that doesn’t come with any commitments, this club is sure to fit the bill for you.
Freedom Boat Club is one of the most widely known and accessible boating clubs in the nation today, with over 165 locations based all over the U.S. as well as Canada.
The club was established back in 1989 and has been around for quite some time now.
Membership Fees:
You can gain complete access to the club’s boats – as well as all clubbing activities for a set period of time each year (per your membership plan) – after paying a one-time membership fee of $7,000.
The club offers a set of flexible membership plans for 12, 6, and 3 months each. The monthly fees vary, ranging from $369-$199, depending upon your plan.
Your months of choice for the 6 and 3-month plans are completely customizable and can be changed any time of the year.
There’s also a plan which gives you access to the fleet only on weekdays, at a lower monthly fee.
Friends & Family Plan:
If you’ve got a friend who’s just as invested in boating as you are, the club offers a Friends And Family Plan . This allows two couples to share the monthly fee of $520 and gives you full access to the fleet.
This plan, however, comes at a hefty one-time membership fee of $9000.
They also have promotions going around from time to time, so you should keep an eye out for them to discover discounts or additional perks.
Reservations can be made online or via telephone.
You can also show up to the club anytime as per your plans without reservations and take your pick from the available boats.
Perks & Benefits:
As a member, you have full access to the nationwide fleet, which comprises over 2,000 boats, this allows you to get sailing wherever you are – this is especially handy while you’re moving or traveling.
These boats include well respected national brands and feature inshore and offshore center consoles, deck boats, pontoons, bowriders, plus a smaller selection of sailboats and kayaks, and each boat is only three years old or newer.
Along with sporting such a vast catalog, the club also hosts social activities such as monthly dock parties and has a Buddy Program , which allows you to team up with other sailors for watersports, fishing, and boating trips.
Possibly best of all, becoming a member of the Freedom Boat Club also enables you to receive free and unlimited one-on-one training from their team of in-house United States Coast Guard licensed captains.
2. Waves Boat and Social Club
Waves Boat and Social club has been around for over 25 years and has four other branches spread across Florida.
Unlike the Freedom Boat Club, Waves is highly focused on the joy of sailing and sharing experiences with other sailors in order to create a close-knit community.
Waves has a fleet of 50 boats spread across its five branches, to which the members get unlimited access.
Of course, the downside here is the small fleet selection available, unlike the vast selection available with Freedom Boat Club.
If you have a love for trying new boats out, this one might not be for you.
Due to the private, intimate nature of the club, Waves does not have a set membership plan.
Their membership plans, as well as one-time membership fees, are totally customizable as per your boating needs so that you only pay for what you truly want.
Monthly prices range from $209-$309.
Activities & Perks:
The true joy of joining Waves comes from the wide range of social activities that the club has to offer.
Waves organize a range of social activities such as fishing charters, fishing clubs, beach parties, sight-seeing tours, sunset cruises, dolphin sight-seeing, and much more.
If you enjoy sharing your love of sailing with a group of people who are just as invested in the hobby as you are, Waves is your destination!
3. Venice Yacht Club
Perhaps the biggest highlight of the Venice Yacht Club is its elite clubhouse and amenities.
The clubhouse boasts several spacious and incredibly beautiful dining and recreational rooms. The building also offers beautiful views of Roberts Bay and the Gulf of Mexico.
The exquisite Sunset Room and Bar also features a unique, lovely dusk vista you have to stop and admire.
The clubhouse hosts several brunches, feasts and balls for the members on a weekly or monthly basis.
Yearly events such as Christmas, New Year’s celebrations, Thanksgiving, and Valentine’s Day are lavishly celebrated as well.
There are also high-quality rooms available for hosting private parties, meetings, and the building can also be booked out for large-scale events such as weddings.
There are also over 15 individual community clubs for discussing activities such as sailing, reading, and kayaking.
Membership Fees & Joining:
Venice Yacht club requires that you contact them to inquire about membership fees and the overall set up to joining their club.
With that in mind, it is most likely that Venice pricing is closer to Freedom Boat Club in expenditures.
With all their amenities, though, you might consider the pricing to be worth it!
Fleet & Sailing:
The main drawback is that the club owns just 4 kayaks, available on a rental basis.
The incredibly small fleet selection can be a turn-off for many, and while the entertainment milieu is immaculate, the club is surprisingly lacking in marine activities.
What it lacks in quantity it excels in quality. The VYC strongly encourages and promotes sailing amongst youth and small children.
The Venice Yacht Club is teamed up with the Venice Youth Boating Association – a non-profit organization run by U.S. Sailing certified coaches and instructors to provide the club members, as well as their children, with quality sailing lessons.
This club is centered towards in-house club activities and forming a family within the club rather than cruising outdoors, and the adventurous kind might not feel at home here.
Memberships, much like Waves, are quite customizable here as per your boating needs.
The VYC is all about its lovely community rather than boats, and if regular social events are your cup of tea, there couldn’t be a better place for you!
4. Venice Sail & Power Squadron
The Venice Sail And Power Squadron are located exactly on the opposite end of the spectrum compared to the Venice Yacht Club.
This club is heavily centered towards the hobby of sailing and to the exclusion of activities such as parties and other social events.
The club offers extensive boating education to people from all walks of life, and also allows you to make friends who share that passion along the way.
One could define this club as a “relaxed boating school for adults”.
Membership & Perks:
Although Venice Sail and Power Squadron do not list publicly their pricing, they are most likely on par or above the average pricing of sailing and boating clubs.
Because they mostly offer lessons, and therefore they don’t host parties or offer many amenities, you can probably bet their pricing is going to be one of the lowest on this list.
However, this would require personal inquiry and contacting them to find out.
The VSPS is a subunit of the United States Power Squadron and has the standardized introductory “America’s Boating Course,” which enables the members to learn the “ABC” s of sailing.
On the completion of a course, members are awarded a Boat Safety Certification Card.
The focus on boating education is unnegotiable with the VSPS. Membership packages are discussed in terms of courses, with the pricing of each course varying in terms of complexity.
The club holds 8-hour sessions on weekdays or weekends, depending upon the course picked by you. The fleet that you will be given access to also depends upon which course you choose.
Monthly club meetings and luncheons are held for the members to gather and discuss clubbing activities, and sailing in general.
This is the serious sailor’s club.
If your interests lie in perfecting your sailing craft while sharing the experience with a supportive community of fellow sailors and learners, this one’s the club for you!
Final Thoughts
Venice’s boating clubs have something to offer to sailors with all kinds of aspirations.
All you really need to do is decide your approach towards the hobby.
Happy sailing!

Breaking news, cristiano ronaldo gets handsy with girlfriend georgina rodriguez in steamy yacht vacation photos.
It’s safe to say Cristiano Ronaldo and his girlfriend, Georgina Rodríguez, are enjoying their lavish vacation in Saint-Tropez.
The Portuguese soccer star, who currently plays for Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr, and the influencer took a dip in the French Riviera on Saturday, as seen in new photos.
One photo showed Ronaldo grabbing Rodríguez’s butt while she got out of the water and onto a luxury yacht.
The 30-year-old model looked beautiful in a white thong bikini.
Ronaldo, 39, who dove into the ocean, sported dark swim shorts.
The couple was seen talking together and sipping beverages in white cups.
Last month, Ronaldo fueled rumors that he and Rodríguez tied the knot in secret when he called her “my wife” while filming a promotional video for the fitness brand Whoop.
Ronaldo’s publicist told Page Six at the time,“I cannot confirm nor deny that Cristiano has married Georgina. I simply do not know.”
Ronaldo and Rodríguez met in 2016, when she working as a sales clerk for Gucci in Madrid and he stopped by the store.
In her Netflix reality series, “I Am Georgina” she said they would run into each other at social events, and he eventually asked her out to dinner.
Ronaldo and Rodríguez made their first public appearance together at the FIFA Football Awards in Zurich, Switzerland in January 2017.
They made their relationship Instagram official that May, and welcomed their first child together, Alana Martina, six months later on Nov. 12, 2017.
Ronaldo and Rodríguez share 2-year-old daughter Bella, whose twin brother died at birth in 2022.
In 2017, Ronaldo welcomed twins Eva Maria and Mateo Ronaldo via surrogate.
He has a son Cristiano Jr., 14, from a previous relationship.
