Welcome Home to Naples’ Newest, Oldest Club

Welcome back! All I can say is “whew!” It’s DONE. We’ve moved in. Our clubhouse is so nice—Naples’ oldest Club is now Naples’ newest Club.

The renovation has truly transformed our special place. Dear member: What’s your favorite highlight? Let me think about mine…

The Ballroom? Briggs Room? Maybe the new red wine displays with member-owned vaults, and the battery of Sub-Zeros with all of the Club’s white wine? Perhaps the Main Brace, with the beautiful replica of the old standup bar with the neat countertop you can comfortably lean on? Wait: It’s the Founders’ Room with the Paul Arsenault mural. Or is it?

My favorite highlight is really simple: my new office right inside the clubhouse entrance featuring the compass rose… with a window! The natural light is truly awesome.

Seriously, we have so many things to be excited about, and with the 2020 season unfurling its sails, it’s going to be the best ever. The events planned this year are remarkable—the Speaker Dinner Series, dances, wine dinners and tastings, and, of course, our traditional Fleet Review, Commodores’ Ball, and all the rest. It will be a season of firsts and bests for our community at the Naples Yacht Club— the first (and still) the best.
