Now, as members of Marathon Yacht Club, a Florida Council of Yacht Clubs affiliate, we are able to visit other Florida member clubs and receive our first night’s dockage – FREE! So we plan to do some “club hopping” for the remainder of the winter season.
First on our list was the Charlotte Harbor Yacht Club, near Port Charlotte at the head of Charlotte Harbor.
We docked at this friendly club for four nights, as Marty was heading north for a Michigan Technological University Board meeting and needed to catch a plane at Fort Myers airport.
Both the Commodore and Rear Commodore stopped by Monarch to make us feel welcomed.
More than five years ago, Hurricane Charley ruined this clubhouse, among many other buildings for miles around. Since then, the clubhouse and the marina headquarters has been rebuilt. While the club is busy and vibrant, membership has not fully recovered from the unfortunate event.
