The Marco Cruise Club has been a fixture on Marco Island for 46 years now and dedicates its mission to not only promoting safety while on the waters but also promoting friendship and fun, both on the water and while on land. On Monday, the 15th of January, the club assembled at the Island Club, where the Annual Change of Watch Ceremony and Commodore’s Ball was held. The club has a strong membership of approximately 120 members, many of whom attended the ceremonial installation of the new Bridge for the 2024 season. Boating on Marco has continued to grow in popularity here in our area these last several years with increases in first-time owners.
