2023 WILL BE A YEAR UNLIKE ANY OTHER AS WE CELEBRATE OUR 40TH ANNIVERSARY.
IT ALL BEGAN ON HILTON HEAD ISLAND
The entire Taylor family vacationed on Hilton Head in the late 70s as resort development commenced. Hilton Head’s appeal for the family was the many activities it offered: ocean and beach activities, tennis, cycling, inline skating and golf, all in a beautifully natural environment. Spinnaker Resorts was founded shortly after these initial family visits.Spinnaker Resorts has a long and successful history that should be celebrated. When the first Spinnaker property was built in Shipyard in 1983, Hilton Head Island had a population of about 2000 residents.
2023 will be a year of joy as we celebrate our Ruby Anniversary. Mr. Taylor left us with a powerful legacy in hospitality and the timeshare industry to carry on in his memory. The Spinnaker family has always exceeded expectations set forth by its peers and 2023 is gearing up for the same results. We look forward to the next 40 years providing and exceeding the Gold Standard of service and support for our owners and guests. For more on Spinnaker’s history, click here.
