“Venice Yacht Club” Not Far from the Golf Course




Founded in 1951, the Venice Yacht Club has played an integral part in the Venice area boating community. Providing extraordinary services and facilities to its members, this private yacht club is one of the 13 original members of the Florida Council of Yacht Clubs and is one of the few clubs situated right on the Intracoastal Waterway.

Conveniently located near Downtown Venice, there are many activities to enjoy at the Venice Yacht Club along with fine dining and the camaraderie of great friends. The Clubhouse offers two dining rooms both with expansive window overlooking the waterway. The marina has 47 slips for its members offering electric, water, and TV connections. There is an extra 300 feet of dockage for visiting yachts. The pool and its adjacent tiki bar provide a welcome relief after a long, hot day on the yacht.

The Venice Yacht Club also offers a Youth Program and the Venice Youth Boating Association which teaches beginning sailing and continuing education in sailing and racing techniques and emphasizes sportsmanship, seamanship, and water safety.

The Venice Yacht Club members are successful professionals and business people from our community and is conveniently located a short distance from several golf course communities including Venetian Golf and River Club, Pelican Pointe Golf and Country Club, Calusa Lakes Golf Club, Waterford Golf Club, Venice Golf and Country Club, Sarasota National Golf Club, and Plantation Golf and Country Club. Sarasota’s Barrier Island Casey Key is just North along the water and members often jump in their dinghies or boats and come down to the Venice Yacht Club for lunch or dinner.

Nick Herron & Kathleen Herron of the Herron Group would be glad to show you any of the properties listed on any of the golf course communities or Sarasota’s Barrier Island of Casey Key, Manasota Key, Siesta Key, Lido or Longboat Key. Call 941.350.5035.

Beach, Bay or Back Nine…Live the Dream
