YBC Florida: HURRICANE UPDATE
After back-to-back devastating hurricanes, we are working around the clock to assess damage and begin clean-up and repair efforts. Most locations are waiting for power, dock repair, boat repairs, and/or safety evaluations. We are rebuilding or repairing flooded offices and boat fueling equipment before we can open. General cleanup is needed as well in order to ensure safe entry to our marinas and an enjoyable and safe experience on the water.
We could not be more grateful to our YBC team for their foresight, dedication, and hard work leading up to, during, and after these hurricanes. They have worked countless hours to minimize the damage to our fleet and facilities to the best of their abilities, and we are proud to count them as part of the YBC family. We will continue to work tirelessly with our facility partners and our communities to rebuild and get back on the water as soon as possible.
Punta Gorda
Our Punta Gorda fleet is almost undamaged thanks to our incredible team and their preparation. The marina will be closed for some time as significant damage has been sustained.
Pass-A-Grille
Pass-A-Grille is destroyed. Once again our amazing team saved the boats, however, the marina will surely be closed indefinitely.
Treasure Island
Unfortunately, the facility here at Treasure Island has significant damage. Our hard-working team was able to keep our boats out of the way for the most part, and the boats are mostly ok here.
Fort Myers Beach
For the most part, our boats are undamaged here. The YBC team worked their tails off to ensure minimal damage to this property, but there is still a large amount of clean up and repair to be done.
Port Richey
Port Richey has lost their docks completely. It will be some time before this location re-opens.
Tarpon Springs
Tarpon Springs sustained minimal damage and we expect to open in about a week or so.
Lake Tarpon
Lake Tarpon is open for boating!
