Marco Island Yacht Club Appoints New General Manager

The Marco Island Yacht Club (MIYC) is pleased to announce the appointment of Missy Duffy as General Manager, replacing Carrie Brooks. In this role, Duffy is responsible for overseeing all aspects of the club's operations.

Duffy has extensive experience in marine hospitality and is well positioned to lead the Marco Island Yacht Club into its next phase of growth and success. She most recently served as Dockmaster at MIYC, impressing members with her excellent organizational and interpersonal skills. She is about to finish an MBA in Finance from Florida Gulf Coast University, adding to her business credentials.

She takes over the general manager role at a time of transition, as the Yacht Club navigates the challenges of its major clubhouse renovation while also maintaining an active program of member activities using temporary facilities on Club premises as well as engaging outside locations.

"Missy's leadership skills, combined with her passion for delivering exceptional member experiences, made her the ideal candidate to lead our club," said Dave Everitt, Chairman of the Board at MIYC. "We are confident that under her guidance, the Marco Island Yacht Club will continue to thrive as a jewel of Marco Island.”

“I am committed to delivering an unparalleled level of service to our members,” Duffy said. “Every day we’re working to make the temporary facilities a surprisingly great venue—and I’m especially excited about creating that “Wow!” moment for members when we re-open the new clubhouse in the fall!”

A graduate of Florida Atlantic University where she was a NCAA Division 1 athlete in swimming, she also holds a master’s degree in literature from the University of South Carolina, graduating Cum Laude.
