A Message from the Palm Coast Yacht Club: On December 3 at 6 p.m., the City of Palm Coast will welcome the 39th Annual Palm Coast Holiday Boat Parade presented by the Palm Coast Yacht Club.
On December 3 at 6 p.m., the City of Palm Coast will welcome the 39th Annual Palm Coast Holiday Boat Parade presented by the Palm Coast Yacht Club. With 61 boats currently registered and more expected, this year’s Parade is set to maintain its record as Florida’s largest community boat parade.
Grand Marshalls will be Flagler County Sheriff Rick Staly and The Honorable David Alfin, Mayor of Palm Coast. Once again, the parade will be broadcast live by Flagler Broadcasting on KOOL-FM, 100.9, with on-air hosts Priscilla Netts of Palm Coast; “The First Lady of Jazz,” renowned singer Linda Cole; and Flagler Broadcasting President David Ayers. The hosts will provide live, up-to-the-minute coverage of the Parade’s progress and will identify the boats as they pass by the hundreds of spectators on the shore
The Parade will be held in honor of the late Joe Rizzo. A long-time champion of the Flagler County School System and a major contributor to the vitality of the Palm Coast community, Rizzo was executive director of the Flagler Education Foundation.
The Grand Marshalls will be on board the lead boat for the Parade, “SunShine,” a fifty-foot, wide-body Viking captained by Yacht Club members Donna Heiss and Ken Mazzie. The Parade will be accompanied by boats from the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, and TOWBOATUS.
Sponsors for the radio broadcast are Benjamin Moore Paints, Coastal Cloud, Dan Newlin Injury Attorneys, and Greg Lynn Jewelers. Special public service announcements were made possible by Craig Flagler Palms Funeral Home. With the support of the City of Palm Coast, the Parade was also made possible in part by a grant from the Florida Inland Navigation District.
Boat registration for the Parade is now open on the Yacht Club’s website, www.palmcoastyachtclub.com, which features information on the Parade’s route. There are no fees to participate. In the event of inclement weather, the Parade will be held on December 4. Parade status will be posted on the website by 4 p.m. on December 3.
