Tropical Storm Bonnie @ Fisher Island

Tropical Storm Bonnie landed ashore near Marathon, Florida; approximately 114 miles south of Fisher Island, between 11:00 am and 12:00 pm. The storm is travelling on a northwest track at 19 miles per hour and has sustained winds of 40 miles per hour.@

We should expect to see the worst of this storm between 1:00 pm and 3:00 pm. During that time, we may see gale force (35 miles per hour) wind gusts and 1 to 4 inches of rain. The barges will be shut down from 12:00 to 3:00 pm.  The ferries will run on a normal schedule as long as the winds are less than 40 miles per hour. Please expect delays from time to time, however, we do not anticipate any long term delays for the ferries. A storm surge of 1 to 3 feet is expected.

Fisher Island Club's Summer Memberships

Amidst all the multimillion dollar renovations and upgrades going down in Fisher Island, some other perks and incentives have fallen below the radar.  One of the island’s hallmarks is the Fisher Island Club and for the first time in quite a few years it’s offering some very appealing deals.

The Fisher Island Club customarily charges $250,000 for one of its equity memberships and requires that members pay their annual dues of $20,000.  Assuming you weren’t one of the lucky few, the club recently gave out summer memberships to a select group of people who don’t reside on the island for the much lower price of $6,700.

If you’ve never experienced the Fisher Island Club, it’s essentially one big resort-like experience.  From a host of water themed activities to a private beach area, aviary and even breakfast and lunch, it’s definitely a must see.  While you may have missed out on the discounted pricing, a membership is well worth it if you’re looking to enjoy the Fisher Island experience to its fullest.

Fisher Island Club Receives a Major Upgrade

Unless you live on Fisher Island or keep up on its everyday happenings, you might’ve missed some interesting recent news, news you’ll particularly enjoy if you live or frequently visit the island.  After some lengthy work that began in 2007, the first phase of a massive $55+ million dollar upgrade at the Fisher Island Club has been completed.

The next time you visit the Fisher Island Club you’ll find brand new bars, restaurants and the beach area that has been extended, making it much longer than it was originally.  Although Fisher Island homes and the neighborhood don’t need to compete with anyone, the upgrades are meant at least partially as a means of competing with other high end resorts.

Becoming a member of the Fisher Island Club requires paying an initial fee of $250,000 in order to become a basic member and annual dues of $18,500 if you already own Fisher Island real estate.  Non-residents are also allowed membership but have to pay fee significantly higher initiation fees and annual dues.
