About The Bucketeer Yacht Club

---

In the late 1950s, several couples from the St. Petersburg area formed a supper club. This social circle soon expanded to include weekend and holiday boating excursions to the local beaches, Shell Island, and Mullet Key.

The founding members included Martha Wood and Sam Caldwell, Carolyn and Harry Dunkle, Marian and Bill Gay, Marion and Johnny Jones, and Kay and Tom McClure.

Established as a non-profit social organization, "The Bucketeers" is guided by a Board of Officers and a Board of Admiralty. The club’s primary mission is to foster social interaction and camaraderie through a series of annual events. Over the years, this tradition has grown to include a New Year’s business meeting, a spring party, a summer family outing, a fall gathering, and a formal ball in early December.
