What it says it does
The Bradenton Yacht Club is a member-owed, private yacht club which serves its member families by providing boating, recreation and social activities, and maintains an extensive club campus and marina for the membership to enjoy club activities and to connect with other members who are inclined to the boating lifestyle. In addition, BYC reaches out to the broader, non-member boating communities by sponsoring youth sailing, fishing tournaments, regattas and boat parades. BYC is also a founding member of the Florida Council of Yacht Clubs which provides reciprocity between our club and the other member-owned yacht clubs in the FCYC.
