The Gulf Harbors Yacht Club is open to anyone who enjoys meeting new friends and socializing in an inviting atmosphere! Really, it is that simple. For boaters, the Club is a fantastic place to get together with fellow boaters for camaraderie and special events. It is also a great place to moor your boat if you are looking for a boat slip; our marina holds 18 slips just off the Gulf of Mexico; available to members only. If you are looking for a relaxing and picture perfect environment to enjoy a beverage or a meal on water, bring your boat and pull up at our dock for the best waterfront dining experience in New Port Richey! Our boating activities make the Yacht Club an inviting place and an obvious choice for anyone who loves boating, but that’s only one reason to join the Yacht Club! One does not have to own a boat to be a member or to enjoy the benefits of membership.
While we are a Yacht Club, many of our members are “land-lubbers.” Why join a Yacht Club if you do not own a boat? Lots of reasons! Members join to enjoy friendship and festivities, not to mention a facility with glorious waterfront views, comfortable seating, great food, and wonderful people! Like in the old TV sit-com “Cheers”, it’s a place where “everybody knows your name”, where the bartender remembers your favorite beverage and friends become like family. Owning a boat is not a requirement. Everyone is welcome!
Here’s what some of our members, new and “seasoned” have to say about their Gulf Harbors Yacht Club membership:
“Where I used to live up North, if you wanted to become a Yacht Club member, your name was posted on a board for a number of months so current members could evaluate your credentials and decide if you were good enough to join. A very intimidating process! Gulf Harbors Yacht Club welcomed me from the start!”
- Ron
“I continue to be amazed by the level of commitment and the amount of love the ladies of this auxiliary display while accomplishing meaningful work. And of course, while having fun!”
- Donna, 2010 President of the Anchorettes, the GHYC Women’s Auxiliary
“I love my home up North, but found I was bored. This past winter though, my husband & I enjoyed some of the best times since we were married thanks to our membership in the Gulf Harbors Yacht Club. There is always something fun to do. Now we miss our Yacht Club friends while we’re away up North for the summer!”
- Joyce, one of our “snow-bird” members
“Your cards, emails and phone calls wishing me well meant a great deal to Audrey and me. We deeply appreciate your thoughts and feel very much a part of the GHYC “extended family”. Our club is unique in its welcoming atmosphere, warmth, and desire to maximize the best life has to offer.”
- Richard
