Marina
The Club has a 22 slip marina located in a basin just west of the clubhouse The basin was created in the early 20th century when the Florida East Coast Railroad needed fill material for the Key West Extension. Consequently, the water is deep to the shore.
We welcome visitors from FCYC and ARYC. We can accommodate boats up to 67 feet in length.

The marina was completely rebuilt in 2011 with fixed wooden docks. Each slip has 30 and 50 amp power and cable TV. There is pump out at each slip and a new pump was installed in 2016. There is free WiFi throughout the club grounds.
