The Duck Club on the Mississippi R. is a private marina marked by its lighthouse and located right next to Port Charles Harbor where our boat, Great Escape is docked.
Our social membership allows JoAnn and I to enjoy the pool and restaurant there. The views from the two marinas I believe are just awesome.
Transient boaters staying at Port Charles Harbor are usually treated as guests at the Duck Club and can use the facilities which is mutually beneficial.
The club house as seen from the gazebo is beautiful. JoAnn and I as Harbor Hosts for the Amer. Great Loop Cruisers Assoc. often bring fellow "great loopers" over for dinner to enhance their stay with us at Port Charles.
Located at the point where Dardine slough and the Mississippi river meet We are easy to find at Mile 221.5 RDB. Just hang a right at Grafton and enter the Mississippi thru Mason Chute across from the Duck Club.
are made possible by the talents of our chief chef Mark who runs the restaurant and bar at the club.
All this in a dreamy setting on the Mississippi river at mile 221.5 next to our marina Port Charles Harbor. This is the only spot in the USA that you can watch the sun set in Missouri over Illinois. (Mighty Mississippi is running north for a short stretch here)
