October 2010 Club's Success Creates Limited Slip Availability   We're pleased to announce that Hamilton Harbor's membership roster has grown to more than 175 members in just two years with 128 boats now being stored in our boathouse.  Due to this success, we've recently sold out of 30' dry slip memberships and are experiencing limited availability of other popular slip sizes, especially 35' slips.  The price for a 35' slip membership will therefore increase by 10% beginning January 1st, making now the best time to become a slip member!  In addition to avoiding the price increase, you'll receive three months free dues.  Please call Membership Director Valerie Pike at 239-775-0506 for more information.

Regarding the BP Oil spill. Did you or anyone you know delay buying or cancel your plans to buy real estate in Naples and or SW Florida?

Mark W. Simoff
Agent
Naples, FL

I'm interested to know how the BP oil disaster affected you if you were originally thinking about buying, or selling real estate in the Naples and SW Florida region. Now that it is capped, what are your thoughts. Are you now ready to move forward? For the record, here in Naples, we were not affected. There was never any oil found on any of our beaches. I'd really be interested to hear from you, especially if you are from out of town.  Feel free to comment below or to email your answers to me directly at MSimoff@yahoo.com.

August 18, 2010 Peace of Mind and Lower Insurance Premiums The most active months of hurricane season are quickly approaching.  If you’re in search of a place to keep your vessel protected, consider leasing a slip at Hamilton Harbor Yacht Club.   Our steel-reinforced concrete boathouse is designed to withstand hurricane force winds up to 150 mph, giving our members peace of mind during a storm.  Storing your boat at Hamilton Harbor could also save you up to 20% on your boat insurance and provide you with more coverage options. Slip leasing starts at $15 per linear foot and includes unlimited boat launches and discounted marine fuel.  A social membership is required for slip leasing and comes with a variety of benefits including waterfront dining, reciprocal club privileges at local golf and yacht clubs and exceptional personal service. Plus, you’ll be launching less than a mile from Gordon Pass and the Gulf of Mexico. Slip leasing is a temporary benefit of social membership. For more information, call Membership Director Valerie Pike at 239-775-0506. Offshore Fishing Heating Up Warmer waters make late summer one of the best times to fish the Gulf of Mexico for tarpon, snook, redfish, and king mackerel.  Make the most of your next offshore excursion with these saltwater fishing tips. Don’t forget to stop by the Hamilton Harbor Fuel Dock for Valvtec marine fuel, live or frozen bait, sunscreen, drinks and snacks.  We’re located one mile from Gordon Pass, across from Bayview Park, at Channel Marker Red #20, and we open earlier and stay open later than any other fuel dock on Naples Bay - daily from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.    The Best Boat Show on the Bay   The best boat show on Naples Bay is back...will you be on the guest list?  The 3rd Annual Hamilton Harbor Yacht Club In-Water Luxury Boat Show will be held on November 20, 2010.  This invitation-only event attracted more than 700 guests last year with the latest and greatest boats and the best food and drink on the bay.
