Southwest Florida Yachts Employee Disaster Relief

From Barb and Vic Hansen, owners of Southwest Florida Yachts, Inc:

We want to thank you all for the hundreds of texts, emails and social media posts we have received over the last 10 days- two weeks since Hurricane Ian changed our lives. Many of you have been part of our lives for decades, some we may have recently met, and some we have yet to meet. You are our customers, business associates, neighbors and friends. Southwest Florida Yachts received a devastating blow from Hurricane Ian. On September 28, 2022, all of our lives changed. We are now trying to pick up the pieces and rebuild. We are committed to coming back stronger than ever!

As you know, insurance takes time and usually is never adequate to cover all of the losses one sustains in a disaster of this magnitude. We are working hard to keep our staff employed for as long as we can until Southwest Florida emerges from this tragedy. You have all been with us for nearly four decades, and we ask for your support at this difficult time. All funds will be used to rebuild SFY and keep our staff employed. Tarpon Point Marina, where we are located, is projecting 6-12 months to rebuild and reopen the marina. We will be working with them to reopen as soon as possible.

We know the road ahead will be challenging, but we are committed to celebrating our 40th Anniversary with all of you in 2024!
