He spent nearly a decade as the Director of Operations at The 21 Club in New York and another nine years providing strategic vision for the Four Diamond mixed-use private club and resort The Club at Hammock Beach. With a BA in Communications & Media Relations from Fordham University, Sacchet most recently focused on transforming the culinary experience of upscale, private country clubs.
“I’m driven by the excitement and opportunity of change,” says Sacchet. “South Seas Island Resort has long been regarded as a quintessential Florida escape providing incomparable experiences. I’m thrilled to work with the team to create an unforgettable, service-oriented dining experience in each of our outlets.”
Seemingly adrift in the Gulf of Mexico, the 330-acre iconic South Seas Island Resort is nestled among mangroves and situated on two-and-half miles of powder-white beaches with more than half of the resort a dedicated wildlife preserve and estuary. Upscale island cuisine caught from surrounding waters, an executive golf course with each of the nine-holes boasting turquoise shore views, world-renowned sailing and shelling, fishing and discovering storied barrier islands are among the unforgettable experiences of a South Seas guest.
