Description of the flag

Estb: 2001. Location: 1400 N Collier Blvd, Marco Island.

"The Marco Island Yacht Club has roots that go back to the 1960s, when a small, one-story wooden clubhouse was built on the site we now occupy. . . . However, in the 1980s, the wooden clubhouse burned to the ground. . . Eventually, the site was purchased by Jack Antaramian. He completed our current Clubhouse in 1998 and established the Marco Island Yacht and Sailing Club (MIYSC) as part of his own development ventures. In 2001, he decided to sell the Club. . . . A group of interested boaters very quickly put together a consortium to purchase the MIYSC. . . . , and in the fall of 2001 the Marco Island Yacht Club was born.”
