Mission Statement
“TO PROVIDE A MEANS FOR CLOSE FREQUENT INTERACTION AND MUTUAL SUPPORT AMONG MEMBER YACHT CLUBS”
Behind The Scenes
In support of this objective, YCM has represented member clubs on their behalf by actively appearing on legislative matters in Annapolis and serving as their voice and ears to outside organizations and government agencies, supported our princesses and the Queen of the Chesapeake, worked to resolve issues raised by the members such as waterway clean up and improving the Queen’s Pageant, maintain a community “bulletin board” website that includes club events, protocol advice, member and boating information and notices, flyers, YCM newsletter links, useful links, and pictures from yachting related activities, hold monthly meetings at member clubs to allow open engagement by the members to pursue ideas, plans, and issues.
Getting the Word Out
In addition, we publish the BAY BREEZE, a monthly newsletter, including guest columns, to keep member clubs informed of events, issues, yacht club protocol, legislation, meetings, and the latest YCM activity. We also publish the annual SHIP’S LOG, a yearbook that provides not only contact information, but useful details about each member club, club related advice, and photos of the recent year’s commodores, princesses, and activities. Through these publications, clubs are able to share a hearty “Welcome Aboard” and provide key information for land and sea visits among the members.

Now You Know: Yacht Club renovation gets underway
The demolition phase of Marco Island Yacht Club’s renovation project kicked off in January with a ceremonial sledgehammer wallop in the lobby.
MIYC Board of Directors Chairman Dave Everitt, Building and Grounds Committee Chair Geoff Walker along with General Manager Carrie Brooks each took a whack with a sledgehammer at the back lobby wall, which will be eliminated as part of the full gut rehab of MIYC's 26 year old clubhouse.
“That felt good!” Everitt laughed after his turn to wallop the wall. “It’s taken awhile getting to this point, but we are thrilled to be officially underway in the transformation of our clubhouse!”
The project will enhance the club’s facilities, creating an updated space for dining, socializing and fostering camaraderie among members and guests.
“Besides updating our look, this renovation will completely modernize the kitchens, add an upstairs bar, establish an inviting, new Members Lounge, provide improved office facilities for our staff, increase dining capacity and improve space efficiency and traffic flow overall” Everitt said.
During the renovation period, member activities are continuing full throttle, with events on boats and dockside, events at outside locations, and events using a tent and food truck set up in the MIYC parking lot.
“The clubhouse may be closed, but we are definitely open for business,” said Brooks, “We still have the same great food as well as a great view of the harbor from our tent, and we’re encouraging members to come and enjoy dining here for lunch or dinner.”
The transformed clubhouse is targeted to reopen next fall. The architect is MHK Architecture of Naples and the general contractor is D Garret Construction also of Naples. In addition, the Club has hired Freestyle Interiors to advise on interior design.
