"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.”
