About Yacht & Racquet Club of Boca Raton
The community took shape between 1978 and 1980, when this stretch of A1A still had the feel of old Boca. Twelve mid-rise buildings sit on the property, each labeled with a single letter from A through L. For buyers picking a unit, the building matters as much as the floor plan. The oceanfront A and B buildings face the Atlantic directly, while G, H, and I sit closest to the marina with the best yacht views. Most original interiors carried 1970s finishes, but the resale market today reflects extensive renovation. Quartz counters, porcelain floors, and impact glass have become the standard expectation rather than the exception. Above all, the association runs the property more like a private club than a typical condo HOA. That mindset colors everything from the dining room dress code to the lobby standards.
HOA Information & Lifestyle Amenities
When it comes to monthly carry, HOA dues run roughly $1.20 to $1.65 per square foot as of 2025. For a 1,200-square-foot 2-bedroom condo, plan on something between $1,440 and $1,980 a month. The fee covers building insurance, structural reserves, exterior maintenance, water, common landscaping, and the full security operation. In addition, every owner gets full access to club facilities at no extra charge. One detail catches new buyers off guard, however: the association also collects a one-time capital contribution of around $35,000 at closing, which feeds long-term reserves. For slip holders, boat dockage runs separately and currently sits near $5 per linear foot per month.

Frequently Asked Questions About Yacht & Racquet Club Condos for Sale
Are pets allowed at Yacht & Racquet Club of Boca Raton?
No, the association does not allow pets for owners or renters. The rule covers dogs, cats, and small caged animals across all 366 units and the common areas as of 2025. For this reason, the buyer pool tilts toward travelers, snowbirds, and active retirees who do not keep pets at home. Federal housing law still allows exceptions for documented service animals. Even so, review the policy with the management office before signing a contract.
What are the upfront and monthly costs of owning at Yacht & Racquet Club, Boca Raton?
When it comes to monthly carry, HOA dues run roughly $1.20 to $1.65 per square foot, depending on the building and unit type. Plan on roughly $1,500 to $2,000 a month for a typical 2-bedroom, 2-bath layout. Upfront, buyers also owe a one-time $35,000 capital contribution at closing, which goes into long-term reserves. Owners should budget separately for property taxes, insurance, and any boat slip rental.
How does the HOA approval process work at Yacht & Racquet Club?
The board reviews every buyer through a written application, financial documentation, and an in-person interview. Most contracts include an HOA approval contingency, which adds two to three weeks to closing. In practice, the interview focuses on lifestyle fit and financial stability rather than personal screening. Whether you are buying a unit to live in or to rent out, the board can decline applications that fall short of community standards.
Can owners rent out their condos at Yacht & Racquet Club, Boca Raton?
Yes, but the rules tighten the math for short-term investors. Florida charges a 13% bed tax on any lease under six months, and the landlord must collect it. On top of that, the community charges seasonal renters a separate club amenities fee, which sits around $700 a month for the four winter months. For these reasons, most investor units run on annual or extended-season leases rather than weekly turnovers.
Which buildings at Yacht & Racquet Club have the best views?
When it comes to views, the building letter matters more than the floor number. The A and B buildings face the Atlantic Ocean directly and command the highest ocean view premiums. By contrast, the G, H, and I buildings sit closest to the marina, so they offer the best yacht and Intracoastal angles. The F building, on a corner site, often delivers panoramic views across both water bodies.
How does Yacht & Racquet Club compare to a Boca Raton country club membership?
Country club memberships in Boca often require $100,000 to $200,000 initiation plus annual dues that can touch $20,000. Yacht & Racquet Club delivers a similar amenity package, including racquet sports, dining, and pool deck, through HOA dues and the capital contribution. Owners also gain water access and a private beach that most country clubs do not offer. Trade-offs include no golf course and a smaller member base than the large clubs west of town.
