Glad it was helpful!

Love The Perry Hotel!

[@TheBoomershines]

We do too!

[@ThomasKuhar]

Do they have in-slip pump out or do you have to move the boat for a pump out at Marlin Bay?

[@TheBoomershines]

@@ThomasKuhar They are a thing, but a rarity. Sometime you have to move to pump out. Sometimes you have a dock attendant bring the hose on a cart and hook up to a pump station far away. It can differ widely.

Good info. One item, whispers don't really work on YT videos- the audio drops off so much on your mic. Also might put text of marina name on screen for few secs.

[@TheBoomershines]

Thanks for the comments!

Just watched your keys to the keys we have reservations at Naples sail and yacht Faro blanco then stock island village We have a 60 hatteras my. Your thoughts please

[@TheBoomershines]

We did not stay at Naples sail and yacht but I hear it is great and probably preferable to the town dock. We preferred Marlin Bay to Faro Blanco. Faro Blanco is an oldie but goodie that you can't go wrong with but we preferred Marlin Bay because it is newer and does not have a big hotel crowd. I don't know Stock Island Village. Hope that helps!

Naples Sailing & Yacht Club, while not close walking distance to much, is lovely and Dockmaster Michelle is wonderful. There has often been a 60' Hatt there when we have stayed there. The city docks are also wonderful with close by dining options and walking distance to a lot of what Naples has to offer. Stock Island Marina Village is now known as The Perry Hotel & Marina so, as the Boomershines noted, a great choice.

@@OLOH thank you

[@HopeOfJoe]

You said in this episode that cruising on a boat "is the best" yet your giving it up. You will be missed and you will miss it.✌🏻️

[@TheBoomershines]

We will still keep cruising. Just in someone else’s boat that we charter and they can do all the work:)⚓️😎Mark
