The venue was great and the venue event coordinator was very responsive and kind. We utilized an outside vendor for the chairs and pipe/drape transformed the venue.

Originally we planned a beach wedding, but it was supposed to rain. The Clearwater Community Sailing Center worked with us on very short notice and was very affordable. We only had our ceremony there, but it was perfect and the view was amazing!! We had the ceremony in the Veranda area so we got to enjoy the view of the bay and get all the beach pics we wanted without worrying about the rain!

This venue is perfect for smaller weddings. We had about 75 guests and we all had plenty of room to dance and enjoy the incredible views this place offers. We got married on the deck, had dinner in the interior room and then danced on the deck which had been cleared of the chairs.
They recently made some upgrades which we found helpful (added blinds) and all of the employees were very friendly and helpful!

I loved having our wedding here! Not only was it very affordable, it was beautiful as well! The pictures on their website just don't do it enough justice! I suggest visiting in person to see just how big and beautiful the space is! Everyone there was so friendly, and did all that they could to help. They also provide tables and chairs, which makes things a whole lot easier!

This place was aweasome, My dream to life in this place, I always wanted to get married on the beach. I got married on sand key beach. This place does not serve as a place for weddings, so it is very affordable. The people are great to work with, from my thousand phone calls, you can bring in your own liquor and I absolutely agree, it looks amazing at night with uplighting on the column, our dj had uplighting and threw in extra upligthting, def recommended DJ on the move! Great place to even have a different themed wedding the veranda is breath taking with no decorations!

We couldn't have picked a better place! We had the ceremony on Sand Key Beach and the reception here at the Sailing Center. It was very affordable and they were very flexible! They let us in early to decorate since there wasn't another event, and they allow outside catering/alcohol. The venue is pretty much a blank slate which is perfect for those diy brides. It was a great size for our 100 guests and we had a great time. There is an inside room which we used for eating and the outside deck was for dancing. I recommend renting some uplighting but everything else is awesome! The staff was super nice too.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Looking for a venue that has a beautiful view of the water? This is it. Ceiling to floor windows and a huge covered patio. Across the road from Sand Key Park if you want a sunset ceremony on one of the best beach in the world. This is an excellent value for your budget and beautiful too.
