Bradenton Yacht Club 4307 13th Street West, Palmetto, FL 34221

"A beautiful, traditional yacht club with reciprocation if a member. They have delightful food and drink, stunning vista's of the Manatee River, have plenty of docking for large gessels and small alike. My main issue is they raised the fee to join from aroubd 3,000 to over 10,000 dollars! Too steep for me, really on top of a 200 a month meal charge. Lots of fun events each month. I don't think the public is welcome."

"A friend of mine is a member, I sail with him occasionally. Regattas are reasonably well organized. There is usually a pre-race meeting with some food and a gathering afterwards for awards. Members are friendly."

"The atmosphere is pleasant yet professional and clean. The service for our youngest daughter's baby shower was what you would expect from a venue of this caliber. In a word it was outstanding meaning one notch above excellent. The food was tasty with the presentation just as outstanding. I would say this is a five-star venue and a rare find in an area dotted with similar club like docks and boat facilities. But everything on this level is expensive but open to the public if you're interested in topnotch service. I can always tell if the staff are truly customer service oriented by the way they treat the older participants with respect and patience. In fact, the staff passed my observations with flying colors. Added to the quality of the food, value for dollars spent, and pleasant surroundings you end up with one hell of a nice time. The organizers were family so that added that little extra special time together making a memory for the future. The conclusion is a sincere thank you!"
