building A Boating Community

and Creating Family Memories since 1946.

Celebrating 76 Years of Yesterdays, Todays & Tomorrows

Founded in 1946 by Frank Rowell and Robert Gladwin, with land and buildings purchased from the U.S. Navy, and with generous donations of labor and materials from members and local businesses, the Club caters to the boating and fishing interests of its members.

A swimming pool, new dining room, and other facilities were added over the next two decades. Then, after a devastating fire in 1988, the club was completely rebuilt. In January, 1993, Pelican became an equity ownership club.

Today we offers an elegant, world-class clubhouse in an unrivaled location on the Fort Pierce Inlet from the Atlantic Ocean. From a dining perspective, enjoy excellent cuisine in a beautiful and spacious dining room that affords a view of spectacular sunsets over the Indian River Lagoon.

In addition to our wonderful inlet location our club has a superb Marina and boating facilities, huge swimming pool, Health & Fitness facilities and many social and entertainment events monthly.

The Pelican Yacht Club is an Equity (Member Owned) Private Yacht Club and home to the Treasure Coast Sailfish Championship and the 40th Invitational Billfish Tournament.
