Whatever Floats Your Boat

The Eau Gallie Yacht Club is not just about the water (or adults )

The people of the Eau Gallie Yacht Club are delight to embrace their nautical heritage, which is understandable, considering that the club started in 1907. It still has a commodore and a commodore’s ball, it still has a change-of-watch ceremony and dinner each year, it still sponsors one of the area’s best-known annual year-end events, the holiday boat parade and its slips still accommodate some of Brevard’s most magnificent pleasure vessels.

But leaders of modern organizations like EGYC know that in order to serve their members, a certain amount of diversity of activity is necessary, and that means parents and kids.

“A major part of our membership mix is young families,” says Hugh Van Veen, general manager of the club. “We’ve geared our facilities and events toward families with younger and older children.”

Van Veen ticks off EGYC’s successful list of kid-friendly activities and adds that the complex has a fine playground. He also notes that none of the activities he has named has anything to do do with boats.

“It’s a common misconception that you have to be a boater to be a member, and boating was a mainstay here for many years. It still is. But the Eau Gallie Yacht Club is not a boat club that has social activities, it’s a social club that has boating. At least 30 to 40 percent of our members join because of family (activities),” he says.

“We do about 45 weddings a year. “We also host cocktail parties, business meetings . . . all sorts of functions. And the building is laid out in such a way that the parties don’t interfere with members’ dining or other activities.”

But in order to have that wedding or meeting, you must be sponsored by a member, and in order to dine there, you must be, or be invited by a member.

“It is a private club and our members appreciate that . . .  young families appreciate it more and more,” Van Veen says.

Kids’ stuff :

The Eau Gallie Yacht Club is for kids too. It has youth-oriented:

• Pool parties
• A summer youth camp
• Holiday parties
• Tennis lessons
• Fishing tournaments
• Etiquette lessons

Food was amazing. There was a lot of activities it has a beautiful sunset at evening and there was a pool

Great place to have a weeding, host big meetings, and formal dinners. Very nice grounds, and of course, a nice place to have your boat stashed! I've done a few live musical engagements at this venue, and the staff has always treated me very nice.

Always great service! The employees are sweet and so very helpful. The food is excellent and the newly renovated outside patio creates a casually elegant atmosphere.

COVID ALERT-Trump parade disater Dear Members, We received notification today that the guest of a member visiting the Club from 1-5 PM on Saturday has tested positive for COVID-19. It has been reported this individual was outside during the time they were on property. The maintenance staff immediately commenced with heightened cleaning, following CDC guidelines, both inside and outside the Clubhouse. Social distancing will continue in all dining areas. While proper hand washing is the best way to reduce contact spread, hand sanitizers are available throughout the Club and we encourage members and employees to use frequently. On a daily basis, all employees will be temperature checked and will complete a COVID-19 questionnaire. With Red, White & Boom scheduled for this Saturday, management and the Board are reviewing plans for the day and will announce appropriate modifications by Thursday. We ask that all members follow CDC guidelines if you have been in close contact (within 6' or less for 15 minutes or longer) with someone who has tested positive for the virus: Stay home and isolated for 14 days; Keep 6 feet or more from those outside your household at all times; Monitor your health for symptoms of COVID-19; If you think you are sick, follow guidance from the CDC website.

Attended a holiday party here. They were really busy that evening, with two large parties (ours was a smaller group). Valet was backed up down S Patrick so it was taking a while for our guests to arrive. We enjoyed great service with cocktails out by the fire, plenty of appetizers. My friend and I are both vegan so our options were limited to one entree, but it was delicious. Dinner was served kind of late, but again, they were really busy. Service was attentive. Cocktails were made well.

This a a great club and can be used by members of the Florida Yacht council. Our experience has been wonderful each time we visit. The Sunday brunch is an awesome spread Not to be missed . We will be back often. The staff is extremely friendly

It's a nice enough place. Good tennis courts, good food, nice views.

This is an invitation-only club. The club offers green clay tennis courts (nice on the knees). Great brunches and holiday menu's. People play bridge here and do other yacht-y type things like sit around and drink wine while watching their boats parked in the harbor at sunset. I've been here for thanksgiving quite a number of times with family and I'm always astounded with their presentation and selection of salads, main, courses, and especially desserts. Its invitation only, so send me a message if you want an invite to spend lots of money.

You would think that a private club with a huge operating budget could get things right. This place can't! It seems to me that the majority of members must not know quality from average or they wouldn't put up with the management. If this facility were an independent business it would fold in a heartbeat. Instead, it's run like our government who just keeps raising taxes, this place just keeps raising prices and dues to cover the cost of poor management while losing members. The attitude of the employees is that it's just a job. There's no pride for them to 'know' and recognize the members as they once did. Once they get to know the manager they leave. Sweaty vinyl covered chairs combined with over-spiced, over flavored average ingredients served at premium prices is not what a private club is supposed to be. Add the fixed high gratuities with additional gratuities encouraged (in writing on the checks) and dirty tableware makes one wonder what hell level of quality, or lack thereof is acceptable to these people. Do they not know what a good quality restaurant experience is? IMO: the current management is totally incompetent to run a high-end quality private club and the board of governors obviously aren't qualified either. The entire operation is a high priced joke! (Also my opinion!)

Nice club with tennis courts and a nice view

Eau Gallie Yacht Club to set sail on $1M in renovations

The Eau Gallie Yacht Club is about to get a major facelift after an April 23 zoning change approved by the Indian Harbour Beach City Council.

Founded in 1907, the Yacht Club, at the mouth of the Banana River, is a private club with membership capped at 900. Components include the lounge, dining and banquet room, and Harbor Grill overlooking the club’s marina.

The club had requested the zoning change to allow for about $1 million in extensive renovations at Harbor Grill and modifications to replace a temporary tent with covered seating area in the same architectural style as the main facility.

Stipulations agreed to by the City Council include: a 2-foot retaining wall to raise the slope on the west side; and no construction storage, parking or through-traffic at the home at 250 Camellia Terrace owned by club. Neighboring resident Dr. Anil Dhople also successfully requested that the club provide construction fencing or screening at the southern property line.

Interim General Manager Steve Hockett explained that the transformative change for the Harbor Grill has been a long time coming and represents the first of three phases, with later phases including improvements to the lobby and banquet rooms of the main building.

“It’s basically a hot dog stand that grew up over the years. As casual dining has become more important, it has become more important,” he said.

The Harbor Grill will be demolished and rebuilt on the same footprint with a new design, for which details are being worked out.

“The Harbor Grill is one of our most popular areas because the water views are great and the pool is right there. It’s just going to be that much better and the new kitchen will make for different and better food choices,’’ said Todd Braid, a member since 2002 serving a one-year term as club commodore. “This is going to make something that people love that much better.”

Construction is expected to begin July 1 and take about six months to complete.

Brevard county's finest location.

Situated on Florida’s Space Coast, the Eau Gallie Yacht Club couldn’t be in a more ideal location. The Club’s main dining/banquet room overlooks the Club’s marina and the beautiful Banana River. The Indian River which makes up part of the Intra-coastal Waterway, is a short distance for boaters to navigate. One mile east of the Indian River and the conjoining Banana River is the sparkling Atlantic Ocean. Truly, the Space Coast is a treasure for all those who are lucky enough to call it home.  

We are delighted you are interested in membership at Eau Gallie Yacht Club. While membership is by invitation only, a tour and complimentary lunch will give you an opportunity to learn about the Club and its members. Once acquainted with us, most visitors realize they know several members who are happy to invite them aboard.   Please contact Heather Jones for all EGYC updates. We look forward to meeting you soon and welcoming you to the EGYC family!
