Sarasota Yacht Club is pleased to announce the Club has been selected as a Platinum Club of the World, one of only 50 yacht clubs in the world to earn the distinction from the esteemed Club Leaders Forum. The Platinum Clubs of the World vote takes place every other year and is conducted through a vote of an international panel of industry experts, historians and connoisseurs. The panel considered seven areas of excellence as a guideline, including the club’s universal recognition, respected membership, amenities and facilities, exceptional service, how the club has adapted to changing times, management and operations, and overall experience.  “We are sincerely honored to be recognized with the finest yacht clubs around the world,” said Sarasota Yacht Club Commodore Hugh McIllrevey. “This is rare air that we occupy, and I applaud the amazing efforts of our staff. I am also thankful for a membership that is beside and behind Club leadership as we work to ensure that “Platinum Club of the World” designation will be achieved for years to come.”  On Thursday, January 16, the yacht club commemorated the achievement by “Hoisting the Sails to a Platinum Adventure!” Nearly 300 members gathered together to celebrate the Club’s new designation.
