The BYC combines the amenities of a five-star resort with the warmth and familiarity of your family’s vacation home. From new Manatee County residents to families who have been part of the club for generations, everyone feels welcome. From your very first day, you’ll feel like part of the BYC family.

Our diverse membership includes boaters and non-boaters, sailors and powerboaters, cruisers and racers, professionals and retirees, families and singles. While many members call Manatee County home year-round, others fly the BYC burgee in waters from Nova Scotia to Michigan—yet wherever they travel, the club remains their home away from home.

The 52-slip marina offers convenient access to ice, water, electricity, Wi-Fi, and reduced-cost fuel. Our heated and cooled swimming pool, along with the Pool Bar and Tiki Bar & Tavern, are beautifully positioned along Governors Cut, connecting Terra Ceia Bay to the Manatee River. Members enjoy both elegant and casual dining six days a week in the formal dining room, the relaxed Burgee Room, or outdoors overlooking the water. The club is located just minutes from downtown Bradenton on scenic Snead Island, home to Emerson Point Preserve.

BYC sail and power boaters regularly visit sister clubs through the Florida Council of Yacht Clubs and participate in regattas and fishing tournaments. Shoreside, members enjoy a wide range of activities including book club, kayaking, biking, bridge, trivia, tennis, pickleball, travel (Navigators), Mah Jongg, and more. Whether you’re meeting new friends or reconnecting with familiar faces, there’s always something happening at BYC.

At day’s end, members gather in the Lounge, dining rooms, on the pool deck, or at the Tiki—each offering a perfect vantage point to enjoy panoramic sunsets over the Manatee River. Come experience why BYC is known as one of the friendliest clubs in Florida—and discover the BYC good life for yourself.
