Marco Bay Yacht Club Welcomes New Members

In recognition of the constant and substantial growth in our portion of Southwest Florida, the Marco Bay Yacht Club, Marco’s oldest (52+ years) boating club, has voted to amend their by-laws and accept membership applications from the land-locked communities of Hammock Bay and Fiddler’s Creek, subject to all other requirements. Among the other requirements: a 20’ or more powerboat that is berthed on Marco, Goodland or Isles of Capri, and has passed a safety test determined by the U.S. Coast Guard, although the Clubs Safety Officer will provide an inspection and sticker at no cost. Annual dues are $150, and there is a $250 one-time initiation fee.

The Marco Bay Yacht Club is dedicated to serving the boating and social interests of its members. Monthly cruises are ranging from 5-18 days—monthly Day Fleet events for smaller vessels, weekly card games, breakfasts, and 4 “formal” events, as well as the last Monday of every month “Monday Madness, an informal social gathering. Homeport is The Esplanade.

Additional information is available on the Club’s website, marcobayyachtclub.com. The calendar on the website lists all upcoming events. All boaters are welcome to join us for Monday Madness; the March 30 ‘Madness’ will feature a pirate-themed event.
