QUEENS HARBOUR YACHT CLUB INC

What QUEENS HARBOUR YACHT CLUB INC does

Queen's Harbour Yacht Club Inc is a private, non-profit homeowners association incorporated in Florida that governs and operates a gated, waterfront residential community in Jacksonville, Florida, founded in 1990. The community encompasses approximately 1,000+ custom-designed single-family homes plus Providence Island townhomes, with mandatory HOA membership for all property owners and optional Country Club membership. The physical asset base includes a 110-foot lock and 120-foot floating dock providing private navigable access between a spring-fed lagoon and the Intracoastal Waterway, a 65-slip marina with 10 personal watercraft ports, an 18-hole Mark McCumber-designed championship golf course, 8 lighted Har-Tru tennis courts (including a stadium court), 4 dedicated pickleball courts plus 2 shared multipurpose courts, a Junior Olympic-size swimming pool, a 4,000-square-foot fitness center, a Pavilion event venue accommodating up to 80 guests, a playground, and 26 miles of landscaped roadways. Social infrastructure includes ten-plus resident clubs (Yacht Club, Sailing Club, Book Club, Garden Club, Wine Club, Pickleball Club, Ladies Golf Association, Veterans Club, Newcomers Club), The Anchor community magazine, and a year-round events calendar.

The business generates revenue through five principal streams: recurring HOA/homeowner fees covering community maintenance, security, and amenities; optional Country Club memberships (golf, social, dining, fitness — now operated separately by KSL Capital Partners following the June 2026 Invited portfolio acquisition); marina slip rentals with power and water service; tennis program fees including private lessons, weekly clinics, and junior programs led by USPTA-certified professionals; and advertising in The Anchor magazine and on the qhycc.com website (realtor directory sponsorships, business directory listings). GTM motion is direct-to-consumer: homes are sold through community realtors with homeownership automatically conferring HOA membership, while optional Country Club membership is sold separately. The technology stack is entirely third-party — ABDi GateAccess for visitor management, NOAA tide predictions for the marina, and HOA Sites as the website platform — with no proprietary systems, AI/ML capabilities, or patents identified. Operations are run from a small 1–10-person POA management office at 238 Queens Harbor Boulevard, Jacksonville, with a Board of Directors elected from the community membership; the President is Robbie Robinson and the Tennis Program Director is Darren Harper (USPTA Elite Professional).
