A tired website undercuts the prestige your initiation fee is supposed to buy.

Regattas, dinners and cruises with RSVP and ticketing built in.
Login-only portal for statements, documents, dock and dining reservations.

A prospective member judges your club by its website before they set foot on the dock. It should feel as polished as the burgee — restrained, confident, unmistakably yours — and give current members a reason to log in every week. We build custom yacht club sites that carry the prestige of the club in public and run a genuine members-only world behind the login.
The public face is about standing: your history, your waters, your events and regattas, the character of the club — enough to make the right prospect inquire about membership, without cheapening it into a sales page. Behind the login sits the part members actually use — the event calendar and RSVPs, the member roster, house documents and minutes, dining and reservations, private galleries, and club announcements. We build that gated area to feel as considered as the entrance hall, not like a bolted-on afterthought.
We build on maintainable foundations so committee volunteers can update events and posts without touching code, and tune for speed so pages load instantly. If you're weighing platforms for a rebuild, our WordPress comparison is a useful start.

Yacht club sites sit at the higher end of what we build, because they pair a refined public presence with a secure members-only area — login, roster, event RSVPs, documents, and private content all take real work. Cost depends on how much the members area handles. Our pricing guide gives ranges; a free audit gets you a figure against your actual needs.
Yes — a proper gated members section is central to a yacht club site. We build secure logins with the pieces members expect: event calendars and RSVPs, a member roster, house documents and minutes, private galleries, and announcements. Access can be tiered by membership category, and we design the private area with the same care as the public face, not as an afterthought.
Yes. We build on a maintainable content system so volunteers and staff can post events, add regatta results, update the calendar, and share documents without touching code or calling us. We'll train whoever manages it and keep the editing experience simple — the goal is a club that stays current between committee meetings, not one that goes stale.
Generally six to ten weeks, reflecting the design polish and the members-area build. Prestige sites earn their time in the details — typography, imagery, and a secure portal that works cleanly. Timeline also depends on committee review cycles; we'll set a schedule that respects how your board approves things and keep the project moving between meetings.
By leading with standing, not offers. We let the club's history, waters, and events do the persuading, and give prospects one discreet, dignified path to inquire about membership — no discounts, no urgency, no hard sell. The tone itself is the filter: it should read as an invitation to belong, which is exactly what the right prospect responds to.
Entirely. You own the site, the domain, and your member roster and data — it is never locked inside a platform you can't leave or rented back to you. For a private club, that control and discretion matter, so we keep the members area and its data firmly in your hands. If your current setup is murky on this, a free audit will clarify where you stand.
We grade your speed, mobile experience, SEO and local ranking, then show you where prospective members drift away.
Free. No signup. We run a real mobile render and grade what search engines and customers see.
