★★★★★Andrew JaggerJust a simple sailing club with a community spirit and fun social events. No bar or restaurant just people who enjoy sailing and partying together.
★★★★★Jim MaloyExcellent little sailing club in Gulfport FL. Lots knowledgeable people to help, adult and youth sailing programs, Sea Scouts too
★★Rey LastraJoined the club just over a year ago. Met some very good people which have become good friends. Also have found that almost every one is willing to help and provide advice to novices like me. So why am I only providing two stars? As with any group you have to peel the layers to get to understand the dynamics . My problems began when a portion of the club decided that they wanted to change the bylaws to exclude live aboards as members (even though they had been accepted for many years and were not living in the marina). I was very vocal against this. In my point of view, they represent the true sailing culture. After this, After this, some people became openly hostile. I decided to ignore it - figured I had much more important things to worry about. Then, I started noticing that someone(s) had been on my boat when I wasn’t there. No way to prove it since nothing ever went missing, just often out of place. Finally the clincher. Someone decided to pour water in my fuel tank. Four gallons, thank you very much. After reporting it to the board and getting exactly zero response, it was obvious that I was not wanted. So moved my boat and stopped paying my dues. Considered giving one star, but really, the good people there are great. The bad, well...
★★★★★Jonathan CornwellBCYC is jewel. Amazing location just off Boca Ciega Bay with easy access to the Gulf and Tampa Bay. Welcoming, friendly club members who make you feel right at home. A nice club building with a brand new covered patio right on the water. Wet slips in a fine boat basin and dry storage, too, for boat, dingys and such. A fleet of Catalina Capris, Sunfish and Lasers for club members to sail. Lots of cruising, racing, and other fun on the water. Parties and dinners off the water. Sea Scouts. Events with the greater Gulfport and St. Pete community like the St. Pete Boat Show and the Gulfport Christmas Boat Parade... and on and on. The thing that brought my wife and I to the club was the outstanding Sail School which took me from a land lubbber to being able really sail one of those Catalina Capris like a pro. (And it's affordable, too.)
★★★★★Peter SchwarzI joined about a year ago, and felt very welcome at BCYC. I wish I could spend more time there. Really good people that have one thing in common, sailing. Very relaxed and casual. People vary from new to sailing, to very experienced. Sailing class was fantastic.
