boating in Naples, Florida (Collier County)
June 17, 2018

Naples is a city in Collier County, Florida and is a principal city of the Naples-Marco Island, Florida Metropolitan Statistical Area. Naples is said to be one of the wealthiest cities in the United States, with the sixth-highest per capita income in the country in 2012, and the second-highest proportion of millionaires per capita in the US. Real estate is among the most expensive in the country, with houses for sale in excess of $40 million and climbing.

The city of Naples was founded during the late 1880s by former Confederate general and Kentucky U.S. Senator John Stuart Williams and his partner, Louisville businessman Walter N. Haldeman, the publisher of the Louisville Courier-Journal.

 

They rented two boats from Naples Bay Resort to celebrate Father's Day with 15 family members, four of which are fathers: Lee Duquette, John Smythers, Joey Smythers and Stephen Rosenthal. Lee and John each drove a boat. There were No manatee's this time of year, but everyone saw dolphins
