Major Renovation Planned for Marco Island Yacht Club

The Marco Island Yacht Club has announced a transformative renovation project that will enhance the Club’s facilities, creating a beautiful, updated space for dining, socializing, and fostering camaraderie among members and guests.

“This renovation is more than a facelift,” said Board of Directors Chair Dave Everitt. “It’s a major revitalization that will not only refresh our look but will completely modernize the kitchens, add a spectacular upstairs bar, establish an inviting, new Members Lounge, provide improved office facilities for our dedicated staff, and maximize space efficiency and traffic flow.”

The Yacht Club will build new office space above the current port cohere at the Club’s entrance, freeing up existing office space for reconfiguration into additional member areas and better traffic flows. Everitt cited the Club’s commitment to continually elevate member experience and ensure that the Club remains at the forefront of world-class yachting and social venues.

Key highlights of the project include:

Stylish New Decor: The clubhouse will feature a fresh, modern decor that reflects both timeless yachting elegance and contemporary esthetics, creating an inviting setting for all.

State-of-the-Art Kitchens: The kitchens will undergo a complete overhaul, bringing them up to the highest modern standards to ensure exceptional dining experiences.

Additional Bar: A new bar area will be added, providing more options for members and guests to relax and enjoy their time at the Club.

Members Lounge: A brand new Members Lounge will be established, offering a comfortable and inviting space for socializing and relaxation.

Enhanced Office Space: Improved office facilities will support the efficient operation of the Club and provide better service to members.

Efficient Space Utilization: The renovation will optimize the layout of the clubhouse, making it more functional and accessible for members, guests and staff, and increasing overall dining capacity.

Demolition work for the project is set to begin in November. During the renovation period, temporary facilities will be erected in the Club’s parking lot to accommodate casual dining and member events, ensuring that members can continue to enjoy the Club’s offerings without interruption.

General Manager Carrie Brooks expressed excitement about the upcoming renovation, stating, “With this investment in the future of our Club, we will preserve the traditions that have made Marco Island Yacht Club great while opening a new chapter in our history as a premier destination for dining, socializing and yachting on Florida’s Gulf Coast.”

The architect is MHK Architecture of Naples and the general contractor is D Garret Construction also of Naples. In addition, the Club has hired Freestyle Interiors to advise on interior design.
