FCYC
Florida Council of Yacht Clubs
Pelican Isle Yacht Club is one of 36 private, member owned yacht clubs that have been selected as members of the FCYC. The Council yacht clubs stretch from Pensacola to Marathon to Jacksonville. The Council's mission is to encourage the sport of yachting, promote the science of seamanship, and provide for the entertainment of its members.
PIYC Equity Members are invited to experience the convenience, variety, and fun that makes Council membership so special. Enjoy social and dining privileges as well as excellent marina facilities at any of the member clubs; some clubs offer golf and tennis as well. Here's how you can begin enjoying the benefit of that reciprocity:
- Locate a Member Club you would like to visit by viewing the Clubs on the Council website, www.floridacouncilofyachtclubs.com or referring to the Guide to the Clubs by Land and Water.
- Review what each Club offers, check days and times of operations, and note contact information for dining or docking reservations.
- You should call each Club directly for reservations so that nothing gets lost in the translation. Identify yourself as a member of PIYC and provide your Member Number.
- Show your Membership Card when you arrive, all charges will be billed to your PIYC account, so make sure that your Name and Member Number are correctly recorded.

General Information
- Reciprocity is extended to EQUITY MEMBERS only.
- There may be times or days when reservations will not be available, such as during special or Member-only events. Some Clubs also have restrictions on the frequency of use.
- Available slips at each Club are limited in number and size, so early reservations are key. First night dockage is free once every thirty days, but expect to pay a daily utility fee.
- FCYC Director, P/C Dick Hobbs, is the liaison between PIYC and the Council and each of the other Member Clubs. Please email him with any questions, comments, or issues when contacting or visiting another Club at [email protected] or by calling him at (239) 249-4483.
General Meetings
PIYC Equity Members are always welcome to attend the General Meetings of the Florida Council of Yacht Clubs. All PIYC Members are welcome to attend and participate. The FCYC General Meetings are held bi-monthly, each hosted by a different Yacht Club belonging to the Council. FCYC Meetings and events are great opportunities to meet boaters from other Yacht Clubs and to visit other Clubs!
