Our History
Established in 1961 to meet the social needs of the Lighthouse Point community, the Lighthouse Point Yacht Club has been a cherished gathering place for over 60 years. For both members and guests, the club has hosted countless life events—from weddings and birthdays to celebrations of life—becoming a beloved venue not just for the local community, but for the greater South Florida area. The Club has played an integral role in the lives of many of its members and has always been a place that brings members together.
In 2017, the club was purchased by its current owner, Terry Paterson, who has passionately invested in revitalizing the property while preserving its timeless charm. The vision is nothing short of extraordinary: transforming the club into a crowning contemporary jewel in the area, ensuring it remains a cornerstone of South Florida’s premier private clubs. Exciting redevelopment plans include a stunning new clubhouse, racquet sports areas, an enhanced pool deck, and elegant residential units spread across nearly 10 acres.
Renowned among yachtsmen and boating enthusiasts alike, the club’s marina accommodates vessels ranging from 30 to 120 feet, offering 30-, 50-, and 100-amp service available year-round or seasonally. A dedicated and skilled dockside team is always on hand, ensuring all your power boating needs are met with care. Beyond its marina facilities, the club continues to provide a wealth of amenities. The Lighthouse Point Yacht Club is more than just a club—it’s a lifestyle where meaningful connections and extraordinary experiences thrive.
