OUR STORY

OLDE FLORIDA MEETS NEW

The Turtle Club was founded in 1998 by Mike Moore and Peter Tierney on the grounds of the Vanderbilt Beach Resort, which was the very first hotel established on Vanderbilt Beach in 1951, and which has been operated by the Moore family since 1968. Mick Moore joined the Turtle Club in 2004, and over the past twenty years, The Turtle Club has come to represent perhaps the finest fusion of Olde Florida and New Florida in Naples - combining a relaxed casual Olde Florida beach environment with sophisticated modern cuisine and outstanding gracious hospitality.

 

We share a very simple philosophy with a strong emphasis on hospitality and authenticity. We believe in extending gracious hospitality to all of our guests and employees.  In a fast paced and frenetic world, we are focused on providing a place where our guests can relax, unplug, unwind and rejuvenate themselves as they spend time with their loved ones and friends. We recognize that true hospitality is a step above excellent service and we strive to combine high quality food and wine with service marked by courtesy, kindness, friendliness, and authenticity -- all in a simple and beautiful beach side setting.

SPREADING THE LOVE

While the Turtle Club has been blessed to receive many honors and recognitions, we are most proud of the many memories that we have been able to help our guests make over the years as we have witnessed and assisted in marriage proposals, reunions, memorial dinners, birthday celebrations and more. We are honored to do the work that we do and we consider it a privilege to welcome guests into our property and be part of their lives for a few hours -- or in some cases, for many hours over many years.

-Christina B. & Family
