The Life & Lies of St. Pete’s Founding Mother, Part II Sarah Judge

The life & lies of st. pete’s founding mother, sailing into history:  the st. petersburg yacht club.

St. Pete Yacht Club

Founded in 1909 by a small group of sailors, the St. Petersburg Yacht Club had no dock or clubhouse. What they did have was a common interest in boating and the belief that the waters of Tampa Bay were special.  Their first outing consisted of twenty boats carrying about 100 members and guests to Blind Pass. That's a pretty impressive turn out for a city with a population of only about 4,000 citizens.

 The lack of a proper yacht basin stymied the organization's growth for a few years until two local newspaper men called a meeting on the evening of May 30, 1916. Seven prominent local  men rallied to lead the charge to incorporate the club and raise funds for a proper clubhouse. On June 23, 1916 articles of incorporation were drawn up and filed with the county clerk. Just shy of its first anniversary, the St. Petersburg Yacht Club formally opened their clubhouse on June 15, 1917.

Located on the northwest corner of Bayshore Drive and Central Avenue, the Spanish Mission style clubhouse was designed by architect George W. Stewart and was roughly 100 feet by 75 feet. The St. Petersburg Times marveled at the imposing waterfront structure stating that "its  pleasing interior and spacious porches offer a center for the social activity of its members and guests."

The club did have a slight setback when on October 25, 1921 hurricane force winds damaged some porches and pushed several feet of bay water into the structure. As with other damaged structures in town, repairs were quick to happen and ready the city for the wintering tourist season.

As membership soared during the next few years, it was all too clear that an expansion was needed,  and on December 21, 1922 the new wing was opened. The clubhouse more than doubled in size, offering the finest of amenities to its members and guests. And plenty of spacious porches to take in the beauty of clear bay waters. Additional clubhouse improvements occurred over the years, with a major renovation and construction of a multi-story garage in the early 1990s.

From card games, social meetings and dancing, a bevy of activities could be enjoyed off the water. Water-based activities taught boating and sailing skills to its members young and old. Events consisted of power and sailing races, regattas, and for the adventurous yachtsmen, The St. Petersburg to Havana Yacht races.

The first race to Cuba was organized by George Gandy, Jr. on March 30, 1930 with 11 yachts competing.  With the Pier serving as the staring points, racers finished 284 miles later at the Morro Castle near the entrance to Havana Harbor. The races served as the forerunner to the Southern Ocean Racing Conference (SORC).

The St. Petersburg Yacht club has a rich history, and the membership rolls over the past century were literally a Who's Who list within the city. Today, the Yacht club is in the headlines with the news that Club leadership have a tentative goal to replace the current 51,000 sq ft structure with an improved facility to withstand major storms by 2028-29.

St. Pete Yacht Club to be torn down, rebuilt in 5 years. Here’s why.

  • Bernadette Berdychowski Times staff

Hurricane Ian was a wake-up call, said St. Petersburg Yacht Club rear commodore Joe DiVito.

For several years, St. Petersburg Yacht Club leaders discussed options to renovate the century-old downtown facility on Beach Drive. But after the devastation of yacht clubs farther south in the Fort Myers area from the Category 4 storm originally forecast to hit Tampa Bay , DiVito said they had to act.

“Hurricane Ian was a message that said, you need to plan for the future if you’re going to spend this much money,” DiVito explained.

Their plan? Tear down the yacht club and start anew.

But demolition won’t happen soon. The St. Petersburg Yacht Club is thinking five years ahead, said DiVito, who’s third in command and the club’s appointed project spokesperson. The downtown organization, which has about 2,500 members, needs to raise funds for a project that could cost up to $40 million, find a temporary replacement home and finalize architectural designs to have the rebuilding completed by 2028.

Membership fees would go up from $50 to $125 a month to help finance construction costs, DeVito said.

He added the new building would incorporate the same Mediterranean architectural style as the current club.

The waterfront yacht club at 11 Central Ave. was originally constructed in 1917 and has had several renovations throughout its history. In 1921, it was hit by the last major hurricane to make landfall in the Tampa Bay region, which caused extensive flood damage to the building, according to club archives. Membership still increased after that storm, and the building extended its clubhouse in 1922.

Many parts of the building are now on their last legs, DiVito said. And with a bustling downtown, members wanted more amenities.

Remodeling would be too expensive because the waterfront building isn’t up to newer Federal Emergency Management Agency standards to be insured in case a storm hits. Starting fresh would allow the building to comply with those standards and add amenities and more parking space for a growing membership.

“Looking at the damage of the hurricane and how we’ve been lucky for almost 100 years, it doesn’t make any sense to put $15 million into a building that’s at major flood risk of being hit,” DeVito said. “And you lose all that money and have to start over again because flood insurance doesn’t pay dollar for dollar.”

St. Petersburg Yacht Club

Rich in history and tradition, the St. Petersburg Yacht Club is one of the oldest yacht clubs in the United States. Established in 1909 and having been completely renovated in the early 1990s, the Club is located on the beautiful waterfront in downtown St. Petersburg, Florida. A gathering place for avid boaters, it is also one of Tampa Bay’s most prestigious social venues. The yacht club is famous for its standard of race management and events are run almost all year round. Juniors learn to sail. Sailors have represented the club all over the world.

Stories from St. Petersburg Yacht Club

St Petersburg’s city fathers had ambitious plans for their commercial docks: create waterfront parks and a yacht club. The St Petersburg Yacht Club was founded in 1909. Following the reclamation and completion of the waterfront, the clubhouse was inaugurated on its current site in 1917. Two years later, 6 Fish Class sailboats were acquired and one design racing began. Several classes have returned annually for over 60 years. Offshore racing started with the Havana Race in 1930. As forerunner of SORC, both brought sailors from all over the world to Tampa Bay.

St. Pete Yacht Club to be demolished

Mark Parker

First opened in 1917, the St. Petersburg Yacht Club’s downtown facility has served as a waterfront landmark for over a century; however, father time and mother nature have caught up to the historic building.

Brian K. Smith, club president, notified members of the impending demolition and redevelopment project in a letter Tuesday. The decision stems from a “well-qualified” architectural firm’s study and over 20 focus group sessions.

Participants listed their desired improvements for the building at 11 Central Avenue, which officials determined were cost-prohibitive. In addition, the letter states the need for an elevator, roof, tiki and pool deck replacement, electrical repairs and an updated kitchen.

“It became evident that remodeling of the clubhouse to accommodate all of the changes desired by the membership would simply not be practical,” Smith wrote. “But most importantly, we would end up with a remodeled building which would not comply with current FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) standards.”

Smith explained that the building’s floor elevation is six feet below current FEMA regulations, and the waterfront mainstay is no stranger to storms. Club archives state that the “Great Hurricane of October 1921” caused extensive flooding four years after the building opened.

An unnamed hurricane caused significant flooding to the facility in October 1921. Screengrab.

Despite the damage, membership continued increasing, and the organization extended the clubhouse north. The expanded facility formally opened in December 1922.

Just under a century later, Hurricane Ian highlighted the need for more resilient Yacht Club infrastructure.

As rear commodore, Joe DeVito is the organization’s third in command. Officials nominated him to serve as the project’s spokesperson.

He told the Catalyst that club leadership began developing a long-term master plan before Ian hit Southwest Florida in late September 2022 “and devasted several yacht clubs – just like ours.”

“Those clubs were wiped out,” DeVito added. “So, we started looking at planning.”

FEMA regulations mandate a complete replacement if a flood or hurricane causes damage exceeding 50% of the facility’s value. According to the agency, that is $1.5 million.

“And it wasn’t practical to put probably $10 to $15 million into an old building and still be six feet below FEMA limits,” DeVito said.

According to a Master Facilities Planning Committee motion, “major infrastructure components of the clubhouse have reached or are reaching the end of life and required substantial cost.” The Yacht Club will now create another committee to oversee planning for a new downtown facility, in compliance with federal requirements.

DeVito said they would also design the new building according to member feedback. He said they understand the situation and leadership’s hesitation to spend millions of other people’s money on something that “could get destroyed by a hurricane.”

“We’ve been very lucky for 100 years,” DeVito said. “We want to build a new building that solves the deficiencies and gives us what we want. And puts us in good shape for the next 100 years.”

He relayed that club officials “are very conscientious of preserving our history” and plan to keep the same Mediterranean-style design. DeVito also explained that an elevated building would provide desperately needed additional parking space.

The organization’s board of directors unanimously approved the initiative, and construction will begin in five years. In his letter, Smith called it “a critical step for the future of our club, assuring our members are safe and (a) state of the art facility for the next generation.”

“An important component of the plan is to secure a temporary location to serve our members during the construction period,” he added. “It is also anticipated that the hours of operation of the Pass-A-Grille location will be maximized during this time frame.”

That facility, located at 2301 Pass a Grille Way in St. Pete Beach, closes on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. It also opens later than the downtown location and closes earlier on Friday and Saturday nights.

Smith expects construction to take two years.

He told members that redevelopment funding would come from new initiation fees and a capital contribution charge implemented in January. He also anticipates increasing monthly dues from $50 to $125 at the beginning of fiscal year 2024-25.

The planning committee’s motion states that “the club does not have the funds to undertake a major remodel or rebuild without a substantial assessment, which will burden many members.” The plan is to raise 50% of the estimated cost before construction commences and finance the balance.

The motion also notes that the House and Grounds Committee will complete any maintenance and repairs “found to be reasonable and necessary” to keep the building code compliant and safe and to ensure quality member experiences. Smith called the long-term initiative “an efficient and risk-assessed endeavor.”

“Our most important goal is to be open and communicative throughout the duration of this project,” he concluded.

It’s not the original building. The original building was partially demolished and build around to make the current building. That was 25-30 years ago. There is very little recognizable that’s left of the old building.

This will probably bankrupt this club. The city of St Pete building process is a minefield. Could take years to finish if ever. Plus there’s provisions in the club agreements with the city that could trigger it reverting back to the city. They’re going to need the wait list and a lot more to make it to the finish line. Season’s change my friend

It would be interesting to know how many buildings on Beach Drive comply with FEMA and should those that don’t be demolished? We have a beautiful building and the odds are it will last indefinitely as hurricanes in the gulf usually go to the panhandle and in the last 100 years have not been severe enough to destroy our building or those on Beach Drive . Some thing this important should be voted on by the membership.

So much misinformation. Building is Not 100 years old. Building was built in 1990, and has mechanical and structural issues now. Will be replaced by similar looking Club (no condo?). Remodel costs about 2/3 of new, Club would still be 6 feet below FEMA regs, FEMA will not allow Club to spend that much (Look up FEMA regs on that particular building. Its public info). Additionally, if the Club could remodel, not all issues would not be solved. There is no planned assessment. The Club has a wait list.

Doesn’t make sense. As a former employee in middle BOH management there, the club isn’t bad. It’s old yes, it’s outdated yes, but it’s not trash. It’s still a social club of old st Pete money. That’s why they want to revamp. They want that new st Pete money. They want to get younger. If you want to see money move, it’s definitely at the yacht club. Plus it’s in a nice spot. It’s on a corner, out of the way. They have a garage with valet. You have to be a member to be there, so it’s all inclusive. It’s just another example of St Pete selling out and loosing our identity

It should have been taken down 10 years ago, I’ve been in the Building many times and as it is not up to code its time to do so. Keeping it in a Mediterranean style will make it seem like the way it has always been, and will continue to be a jewel in Downtown St. Pete…

The thing about FEMA is wrong and a way to fool members into thinking it is fact If it were true, over half of DT would have to be torn down and rebuilt. They are grandfathered in. Plus it’s a joke having a FEMA appraisal and not one by a certified appraiser. The yacht club should get rated as Historical do they can’t tear down

The St Pete Yacht Club is a monument to a bygone era when private access and association was the norm for a select group of people who saw the world as their own. It being demolished is also a symbol of the more than necessary time in our society for all people to have the same access to the same opportunities without any hindrances or prejudice. I recall walking through the Club passing the corridor with the photographs of Admirals. Interesting to say the least. I was on another occasion given the dinner plate by a guest who thought I was the waiter. I was also a guest. Still another time I was a given a valet ticket by a guest who thought I was a parking valet. I was a guest also. The Yacht Club is an museum now. I’m curious… what was its role in developing the City of St Petersburg?

Time to move on and build a building that makes sense. I’ve been there numerous times over the years. It is wonky old and outdated. To keep it like it is even for historical sense just does not work. Can’t wait to see the new and improved building that will serve the members and others for many years to come. To see the possibilities look what was accomplished in other cities that have taken a major undertaking like this. And then compare that to others that do not move on and do what should be done to move their club into the next 100 years.

Sounds like a big mess and more disturbingly that more of the old Saint Petersburg will be destroyed in favor of something that looks brand new and cheap.This building was built over a hundred years ago it should be Restored not torn down.The city risk losing it’s Identity if this kind of thing keeps going on too long I think we’re reaching a point at which we cannot do this kind of thing anymore.
