On 11/6/08, as part of a “Western Florida Wish List,” I posed the following question:

13. Transient dockage along the Naples waterfront has become something of an endangered species. Non FCYC yacht club members have only the Naples City Pier and the Naples Boat Club to pick from. PLEASE give us reports on both these facility’s current condition, and what you found when you docked here.

Responses follow:

At this time there are slips available for long term lease and plenty of room for transient boaters. There is a free pump out on the dock.Only minor repairs can be made at the city Dock and these must be from approved contractors. Minor bottom maintenance is still allowed but no boats can undergo major bottom cleaning at this location. (major scraping and cleaning) regular bottom maintenance from monthly divers is still allowed at this time.
