We went there for a wedding reception. Apparently you can't have a wedding in this venue unless you know someone. Fancy. That said, for such a fancy place, I was a bit surprised at the organization, or lack thereof. Yes, some things cannot be changed, such as a very small dance floor, full of people continuously bumping into one another, but I think the food and drinks could've better been sorted out. They have a bar inside and some sitting rooms. The bar was in one separate section from the sitting rooms, and more so, from the big room where the buffet was. Then, the dessert was done in yet another room. So confusing! That being said, the wedding was lovely and fortunately there was lots of parking, but honestly speaking, I think this is more of a day-to-day place for people to get together rather than a wedding venue. Makes no sense to me why there are so many rooms otherwise.

We were fortunate to dine in this private club. Such a wonderful experience. The service was impeccable with attention to our table the entire time. The goat cheese crusted lamb chops were sublime. My wife enjoyed the Faroe Islands Salmon as well. The entree took a little extra time due to busy night (not really in our opinion) so we were comped chicken & kale soup.

it's a staple member-ship club in the nsb! i've sailed in the brewers cup regatta a few times!

We were guests of members for an evening out at Smyrna yacht club. Our Dining experience was outstanding as the food was scrumptious and the Service exceptional. The Clam chowder was to die for. What a special night at this unique and historical Club, situated on the intercostal waters of new Smyrna Beach Florida. Thank you and keep up the work

My parents are members so I always join them for dinner when I visit. Service is always personable. They have weekly specials. You can eat in the dining room or outside at the tiki. Dining room is business casual. The bar attracts a lively older crowd for happy hour. Friday nights there is a musician and free appetizers. It is a great social atmosphere with great entertainment options.

This is a members and guests only club and we attended as guests. We had both dinner and breakfast here during a short visit. We only had minor issues with the food but found the service to be excellent and far exceeding the standards of many clubs back home. We have patronized some of the best restaurants in our area and none have this level of service. The professionals who run this establishment should be very proud of the staff. They are beyond first class.

Having drinks in the afternoon sunshine. Great bar that overlooks the intercoastal. took a tour around the dining hall, very classy historical place.

I went to brunch for Father's Day. Cold coffee was served, wait staff disappeared. Spartan banquet, chef on the grill served raw omelets and the ingredients were frozen. Many people complained and brought back their omelets to get them cooked more. I asked for a fresh waffle and the chef looked like I put her out. There were a few waffles on a rack that they were saving so they would not have make fresh waffles. The potato look like canned army food. The corn beef hash was the same. All of the orange juice glasses were dirty and had food particles stuck to them. Bacon had two pieces in the bin. The restroom was dirty and a cockroach on his back greeted me. I left hungry. Very poor experience. I would turn in my membership if I had one.

How Much is a Yacht Club Membership? 3 Common Price Ranges

The cost of an annual yacht club membership can vary widely depending on several factors, such as the location of the club, the amenities offered, the exclusivity of the membership, and the size of the yacht being accommodated. We’ve compiled a set of guidelines below to help you estimate what you can expect to pay for an annual yacht club membership.

Local or Less Exclusive Yacht Clubs

These clubs might offer basic amenities such as docking facilities, a clubhouse, and some social events. Annual fees can range from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars. Membership fees could be as low as $500 to $2,000 per year.

Mid-Range Yacht Clubs:

These clubs may offer more extensive amenities, including high-quality dining facilities, repair and maintenance services, fitness centers, and a busy calendar of social and boating activities. Annual fees for these clubs can range from $3,000 to $10,000 or more.

Prestigious or Exclusive Yacht Clubs

The most exclusive yacht clubs, often located in prime locations with extensive facilities and services, can have annual membership fees that are significantly higher. These can range from $10,000 to $30,000 or more per year, with some of the most elite clubs costing even more. Additionally, these clubs might have initiation fees that can range from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars.

It’s also important to note that many yacht clubs have additional costs beyond the annual membership dues. These can include initiation fees for new members, monthly minimum spending requirements at the club’s facilities, and additional fees for docking, storage, and maintenance services.

Additional Considerations

Some yacht clubs require yacht ownership as a prerequisite before being accepted into the club. Hence, while the yacht club membership itself might only be between $500 and $2,000, the true price of a yacht club membership might be tied to the cost of ownership of your yacht as well.

Bottom Line: Simply Ask If Interested

If you’re interested in joining a yacht club, make a list of yacht clubs that you might be interested in joining, and reach out to them via email or phone to get the most accurate and up-to-date information. Most yacht club members are quite friendly and are willing to help those who are interested in joining.

We wish you good luck in your yacht club search, and hope that you were able to find this article helpful.

Smyrna Yacht Club

Over a century ago, around 1884, wealthy sportsmen whose leisure time was spent hunting, fishing and cruising on luxurious yachts, decided to form a yacht club. In New Smyrna Beach they found the ideal location for cruising and holding regattas. The great industrialists and Europeans with titles traveled and sailed for weeks to spend their leisure time in this wonderful cruising area.

By 1928 plans materialized to form Smyrna Yacht Club with thirty-six charter member families. The wealthy inventor Russ J. Christy became the first Commodore serving for six years.

In the thirties an architect noted for his Spanish Renaissance designs was chosen to build a clubhouse. SYC soon became a landmark along the Indian River. The Spanish Renaissance styling is preserved and admired by members of other clubs in the Florida Council.

Social history was made in 1932 when SYC sponsored an international regatta. Sportsmen and fans from England, France, Germany, Italy, Sweden and Cuba joined US enthusiasts with the grand prize being the tall silver Lipton Cup Trophy permanently on display in the Club’s trophy case. It is one of twelve deeded to clubs around the U.S. by tea magnate Sir Thomas Lipton and the only one in Florida.

Membership grew, a ballroom was added and by 1951 the Club obtained a license and opened the bar. The swimming pool was added in 1964 and an East Room was added overlooking the pool.Over the coming years, membership increased and the Club matured. Inner and outer docks were added as well as the Tiki.

Since the Yacht Club was established by members interested in boating, the SYC Sailors and Old Men of the Sea continue the rich history of boating, racing and teaching members to sail.

In the early history of our Club, wooden powerboat racing was held regularly from 1928 to 1941. Today we have wooden Cocktail Class boats and have hosted an Official Cocktail Class Wooden Boat (CCWBRA) Power Boat Regatta. There will be boats competing from all over the US for the Governor’s Cup donated by Governor Sholtz in the 1930’s.

Membership continues to grow as the Club goes through planned renovations and improvements. We have a rich history of which we are proud and continue to carry the legacy forward to the future.

Orlando, Florida Area

Orlando brings to mind theme parks, which are big draws for the young and young-at-heart. But there’s much more to explore, starting with a lively downtown and natural attractions like Wekiwa Springs State Park and the Hilochee and Lake Marion Creek Wildlife Management Areas. Bring the whole family to see the home team play a minor league baseball game or take an airboat tour to spot alligators.

3X Membership Rewards Points – Green Card: Basic Card Members, when paying with their eligible Green Card or Additional Card on their Account, can earn 2 additional points (for a total of 3 points) for each dollar charged for eligible Select Homes + Retreats purchases on any Card on the Account, minus cancellations and credits.

5X Membership Rewards Points – Platinum Card: Basic Card Members, when paying with their eligible Platinum Card or Additional Card on their Account, can earn 4 additional points (for a total of 5 points) for each dollar charged for eligible Select Homes + Retreats purchases on any Card on the Platinum Card Account, minus cancellations and credits.

$200 Hotel Credit:  Basic Card Members on U.S. Consumer Platinum Card Account are eligible to receive up to $200 in statement credits per calendar year when they or Additional Platinum Card Members use their Cards to pay for eligible prepaid Fine Hotels + Resorts® and The Hotel Collection bookings made through American Express Travel (meaning through amextravel.com, the Amex® App, or by calling the phone number on the back of your eligible Card) or when Companion Platinum Card Members on such Platinum Card Accounts pay for eligible prepaid bookings for The Hotel Collection made through American Express Travel (meaning through amextravel.com, the Amex® App, or by calling the phone number on the back of your eligible Card). Purchases by both the Basic Card Member and any Additional Card Members on the Card Account are eligible for statement credits. However, the total amount of statement credits for eligible purchases will not exceed $200 per calendar year, per Card Account. Fine Hotels + Resorts® program bookings may be made only by eligible U.S. Consumer Basic Platinum and Additional Platinum Card Members. The Hotel Collection bookings may be made by eligible U.S. Consumer Basic and Additional Platinum Card Members and Companion Platinum Card Members on the Platinum Card Account. Delta SkyMiles® Platinum Card Members are not eligible for the benefit. To receive the statement credits, an eligible Card Member must make a new booking using their eligible Card through American Express Travel on or after July 1st, 2021, that is prepaid (referred to as "Pay Now" on amextravel.com and the Amex App), for a qualifying stay at an available, participating Fine Hotels + Resorts or The Hotel Collection property. Bookings of The Hotel Collection require a minimum stay of two consecutive nights. Eligible bookings must be processed before December 31st, 11:59PM Central Time, each calendar year to be eligible for statement credits within that year. Eligible bookings do not include interest charges, cancellation fees, property fees or other similar fees, or any charges by a property to you (whether for your booking, your stay or otherwise).  

Statement credits are typically received within a few days, however it may take 90 days after an eligible prepaid hotel booking is charged to the Card Account. American Express relies on the merchant’s processing of transactions to determine the transaction date. The transaction date may differ from the date you made the purchase if, for example, there is a delay in the merchant submitting the transaction to us or if the merchant uses another date as the transaction date. This means that in some cases your purchase may not earn the statement credit benefit for the benefit period in which you made the purchase. For example, if an eligible purchase is made on December 31st but the merchant processes the transaction such that it is identified to us as occurring on January 1st, then the statement credit available in the next calendar year will be applied. Statement credits may not be received or may be reversed if the booking is cancelled or modified. If the Card Account is canceled or past due, it may not qualify to receive a statement credit. If American Express does not receive information that identifies your transaction as eligible, you will not receive the statement credits. For example, your transaction will not be eligible if it is a booking: (i) made with a property not included in the Fine Hotels + Resorts or The Hotel Collection programs, (ii) not made through American Express Travel, or (iii) not made with an eligible Card. Participating properties and their availability are subject to change. If American Express, in its sole discretion, determines that you have engaged in or intend to engage in any manner of abuse, misuse, or gaming in connection with this benefit, American Express will not have an obligation to provide and may reverse any statement credits provided to you. If a charge for an eligible purchase is included in a Pay Over Time balance on your Card Account, the statement credit associated with that charge may not be applied to that Pay Over Time balance. Instead, the statement credit may be applied to your Pay In Full balance. Please refer to  AmericanExpress.com/FHR  and  AmericanExpress.com/HC  for more information about Fine Hotels + Resorts and The Hotel Collection, respectively. 

5X Membership Rewards® Points Platinum Card:  Basic Card Members will get 1 Membership Rewards® point for each dollar charged for eligible purchases on their Platinum Card® or an Additional Card on their Account and 4 additional points (for a total of 5 points) for each dollar charged for eligible travel purchases on any Card on the Account (“Additional Points”), minus cancellations and credits.

For example, you may not receive Additional Points when: a merchant uses a third-party to sell their products or services, a merchant uses a third-party to process or submit your transaction to us (e.g., using mobile or wireless card readers), or you choose to make a purchase using a third-party payment account or make a purchase using a mobile or digital wallet.

If booking is cancelled, the extra points will be deducted from the Membership Rewards account. Extra points will be credited to the Membership Rewards account approximately 6-10 weeks after eligible purchases appear on the billing statement. Additional point bonuses you may receive with your Card on other purchase categories from American Express may not be combined with this benefit (e.g., 1.5X and 2X bonuses for Business Platinum Card Members, etc.). Purchases eligible for multiple additional point bonuses will only receive the highest eligible bonus. The benefits associated with the Additional Card(s) you choose may be different than the benefits associated with your basic Card. To learn about the benefits associated with Additional Card(s) you choose, please call the number on the back of your Card.
