This past weekend was a bad experience in that a couple of younger adults (20-30) were extremely racist and condescending that it threw me off guard. Outside of that, the pool and gym are always open early and close late, there is a guard on duties to ensure safety, and it is EXTREMELY close of a distance to the beach.

When we joined PYC, we had visions of our experiences to be similar to another Club when where we…read morewere members. Early on, we learned we had joined the PENSACOLA EVENT CENTER and Yacht Club. Granted, we did not join PYC with the vision of throwing large parties but it would have been nice to be allowed to use the facilities without a two year notice. During our early meetings with Directors, even before we joined, we frequently heard members were not participating in PYC events. As our main reason for joining was the social aspects; attending events sounded good. The only detraction to our first experience was we were seated at the opposite end of the room from our friends. We soon learned the new members were seated almost in the parking lot. At one event, I was actually told, "all the new members are sitting over there. Why don't you go over there and make friends." The refrain, "oh, you're new members" was one we heard all too often. Unknown to us, we apparently had PURCHASED A SECOND CLASS MEMBERSHIP. At least we still had the restaurant but the fare devolved to be less than substandard so we just stopped going. For $100-$150 for dinner, there are other places to eat in Pensacola that offer better food at similar prices without the added costs of membership. Resigning our membership, we learned not one of the folks in control at PYC cared. Zero is the number of people that reached out to us.

Since I was a kid I loved their fries with kosher salt and now the grouper sandwich or crawfish quesadilla is a favorite.

At my mother's 50th birthday party there was amazing seafood and a cute (and yummy) mashed potato bar/buffet. Nowhere can beat it.

More: Went out on a 3-day charter with three other guys (two old friends, and the brother-in-law of one of the old friends, who is now a new friend), making my first deep-sea trip at the age of 59. Definitely a bucket-list kind of thing. Captain Johnny Greene's expert knowledge of this fishery is peerless -- and not only is it a fun fishing trip, it's a masterclass on how a top professional's decision-making works. I loved catching fish -- we went back to the dock with full fish boxes -- but what really made the trip was being out with a captain who really loves what he's doing, wants to share that with others, and has an equally fantastic crew making it happen on deck. As to the crew -- Jake, Gabby, and Grady are an amazing team -- and each one qualified as a captain in their own right . They're great coaches for the newbie (like me) and expert support for the highly-experienced like my friend who organized our trip. They are super-efficient and always getting something done. It was fun watching them do their thing... and they cook and serve great food! Go out on Intimidator -- it'll be a great fishing experience for the novice and expert alike. Just be careful of one thing -- I crossed off my "Go deep sea fishing" bucket list item, only to add "Go do it again on the Intimidator!" to the list...

All of the staff at Pelicans Perch were very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful during my stay at the boatyard. I had a bottom job, fiberglass repairs, and some mechanical repairs performed while my boat was at Pelicans Perch Marina.

The facilities are by no means new,…read morebut the staff is so kind and helpful you quickly forget you ever cared about floating docks or new power plug-ins. One gentleman was nice enough to drive me around looking for an outboard motor when I needed a ride, and the management helped work out a fair compromised rate when we realized we had to stay for longer than we planned as we did necessary work on the motor. Speaking of doing work on the boat, there are a number of very useful professional metal fabricators, a canvas shop, and expert diesel mechanics within a few minutes walk. Grocery stores are within a mile or so, as are Tippy's Tavern, West Marine (closing this month unfortunately), and theres another restaurant called The Oarhouse five minutes away by dinghy. Pelican's Perch was a GREAT find for us, and I very highly recommend it for anyone on a budget needing to do work on their boat.

Needless to say, it was an experience we'll never, ever forget! The yacht was absolutely amazing-- clean, comfortable, well stocked, and stunning! The views and sunsets at the pier are excellent, obviously! Also, we agreed that it was some of the best sleep we'd ever had. The pier itself is great with easy access (walking distance) to downtown hotspots, and also plenty of 2hr M-Sat & also free parking on Sundays. Guests staying on boats at the Marina have free a parking option. Jaco's, on the pier, was a great dining option. There are also showers, laundry, and restrooms onsite if needed. Our weekend at the Palafox Pier was one for the books, and we can't wait to get our next opportunity for a repeat stay!

Troendle Marine is at the top of my list for great service. Suzanne and John run a top-notch operation - they're knowledgeable, skilled and more than willing to work with owners on repairs, upgrades, etc. Their workers are all great. My bottom job uncovered some unexpected centerboard damage - John gave me various options for temporary and permanent repair with the pros and cons of each, and cost estimates that I learned I could truly count on. They kept me up-to-date on progress with emails and photos, and worked with me to meet my somewhat fluid schedule to get back in the water. They gave me a confidence level in their work and their pricing. Perhaps the most professional boatyard experience I've ever had, and I've worked with some good ones. And kudos to Troendle's partnership with Pensacola Shipyard for hoists and blocks - again, a great group of people who went out of their way to work with us on the centerboard issue and our ultimate re-launch. I'd recommend Troendle to anyone, and they'll definitely get my business again for future maintenance/upgrade needs.
