Tampa Bay area residents who enjoy getting down and dirty in the mud may have to find a new place to play with their ATVs and monster trucks if opponents of Punta Gorda’s Redneck Yacht Club get their way.

Following the Saturday death of Palm Harbor’s Nicholas Kirk, 20, during an ATV accident on the property, opponents are raising concerns about the attraction’s safety to Charlotte County officials.

The Redneck Yacht Club calls itself the “world’s most exciting off-road park.” The park sits on more than 800 acres, offering an off-road experience for truck enthusiasts and ATV riders. It also provides on-site camping, Saturday mud truck races and other regular events, according to its website.

The park’s Memorial Day weekend bash, dubbed Memorial Day Mayhem, witnessed the death of Kirk. The ATV driver was on the yacht club’s property when he attempted to pass between two swamp buggies, NBC reported. It seems Kirk’s ATV got hung up in a tow strap, which effectively clothes-lined Kirk and his passenger Marlayan Gomez, 19, of Clearwater, several media outlets reported. Kirk died at the scene while Gomez was hospitalized for injuries.

While the yacht club has been a fixture for about a decade, residents say a lack of regulations and its bring-your-own-alcohol policy create a dangerous mix.

“There isn’t anything that isn’t allowed there,” former employee Dawn Erickson told WINK news. “The girls run around on ATVs with no clothes on. You see people having sex on top of a truck.”

Charlotte County officials say they are meeting with representatives from the yacht club soon to discuss the deadly incident, but say it’s unclear just how far they can really go in regulating the park a decade after its approval.

Even so, the yacht club has added more security, the station noted. It also has clearly posted park rules on its website . Those rules include mudding only in mudding areas, the required use of safety flags, the use of lights, adherence to posted speed limits and no fighting, among others. The park also prohibits the use of “stripper poles” and enforces quiet time between 2 and 7 a.m. daily.

It is unclear just how soon county officials will meet with park officials or what, if any, actions will result.

Early Saturday afternoon, Floridian Norman Nowling was arrested after witnesses claimed he deliberately drove over a teenage-girl's 1994 Toyota Corolla several times in his lifted 4WD Econoline. The incident took place at the Redneck Yacht Club's 'Swamp Cabbage Weekend' festival, where thousands of revelers speed around an 800-acre mud park in monster trucks and pickups. Campers come here from across the US and as far afield as Alaska for the event, described as 'a mini Mardi Gras with mud.'

According to reports, the driver of the large camouflaged truck with five-foot wheels was egged on by a chanting crowd who were demanding that he run the Toyota over having seen two other trucks fail to crush to the Corolla. "The owner doesn't care. You can do it," they shouted. This he did without hesitation, deliberately smashing into the hood from both sides. He then drover over the entire car several times. Once the young women discovered her car had been crushed, she stopped partying in the mud pit in order to alert security.

A witness then identified Mr. Nowling as the driver and he was duly taken to jail on a charge of criminal mischief. A spokesperson for the Redneck Yacht Club described the incident as 'an unfortunate event.'

Charlotte Co. to meet with Redneck Yacht Club on fatal

redneck yacht club accident

Charlotte County officials will be meeting with the operators of the Redneck Yacht Club some time next week to go over issues related to a fatal crash on the club's grounds

Nicholas Kirk, 20, of Palm Harbor man died Saturday in an ATV crash at the Punta Gorda club.

Shaun Cullinan, planning and zoning official for Charlotte County, said it would take a few days to coordinate the meeting.

"We are currently trying to coordinate schedules to meet and hope for some time next week, as you can imagine coordinating fire, CCSO, the owners/operators and assorted staff and attorneys can sometimes be a time consuming process," he said.

"This was truly a tragic accident and more regulations might not have kept this freak occurrence from happening, but we hope to discuss with them what, if anything, could be done to minimize the potential for another tragic accident'" Cullinan said.

County officials said the crash haqs prompted questions about the authorizations involved for a business to operate such as the Redneck Yacht Club.

The club was granted a Special Exception by the Board of Zoning Appeals on Dec. 13, 2006. Special Exceptions allow for land uses, which otherwise may not be allowed, by including additional restrictions to minimize impacts on adjacent properties. This Special Exception allowed the business to operate an outdoor recreational facility on agriculturally-zoned land located off of Bermont Road.

County officials also said that over the years since the business's opened there have been a number of code enforcement actions for unpermitted work, which the county said have all been dealt with.

A county press release also outlined other "numerous" incidents such as stabbings, property destruction and fights, which added to frequent requests for service from Charlotte County Fire/EMS.

"Each time there has been an issue, the operators of the Yacht Club have been very willing to address the issues and see what could be done to minimize these types of occurrences, including more security staff and EMS personnel," the press release said.

The Florida Highway Patrol says Kirk died on the scene and Marlayna Gomez, 19, suffered serious injuries when their ATV ran between two swamp buggies on a dirt road.

Troopers say one swamp buggy was towing another northbound when Kirk's ATV tried to pass between them.

Kirk struck the tow strap between the swamp buggies and Gomez, of Clearwater, fell from the ATV as it passed under the strap.

Kirk was pronounced dead by Charlotte County EMS. Gomez was taken to Lee Memorial Hospital with "incapacitating injuries", a report says.

None of the occupants of the swamp buggies, all North Fort Myers residents, were injured. None of the vehicles involved were damaged.

No charges are being filed at this time.

One young man is dead, and his young female companion seriously injured, after an ATV crash midday Saturday on Redneck Yacht Club property.

The approximately 20-year-old man was driving an ATV around noon when he came between a truck and another ATV it had been pulling with a rope, according to Dee Hawkins-Garland, Charlotte County Fire/EMS spokeswoman. The young man apparently did not see the rope and crashed into it.

He "clotheslined" with the rope, breaking his neck, Hawkins-Garland said, and later was pronounced dead at the scene.

The young woman -- approximately 18 or 19 years old -- had been a passenger on the ATV with the young man, and was thrown off in the crash. She was flown by helicopter to Lee Memorial Hospital in Fort Myers in serious condition, according to Hawkins-Garland.

The Florida Highway Patrol appeared to be investigating the crash, which happened near Bermont Road and Chiquita Drive, according to the FHP’s Traffic Crash Report website.

No further details about the individuals involved in the crash were available late Saturday afternoon.

Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) repeated unsubstantiated claims that Haitians in Springfield, Ohio, were eating pets even though he admitted that he didn't know "if they're true or not." During a Sunday interview on Fox News, host Maria Bartiromo faulted "the mainstream media" for not promoting unverified stories about migrants. "Kamala Harris chose ABC for an interview, and they edited down her word salad answers to make it appear quite concise," Bartirmo told Cotton.

Donald J. Trump is unhappy with Taylor Swift, one of the music industry's biggest stars and a self-made billionaire, endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris for President after the debate that the former President lost to the Democratic nominee. Even worse for Lumpy, Swift reminded her fans to register to vote. "Remember that in order to vote, you have to be registered!" she wrote on Instagram.

Ever since the unprepared felon lost the debate to Vice President Kamala Harris, a former prosecutor, he has displayed a narcissistic injury so severe that he has been claiming that he won the debate on his flailing social media site for days now. Donald has gone as far as to claim that he's a "person of extraordinary genius" who was opposed by "mentally challenged people." If true, then Donald wouldn't have soundly lost the debate as he did.

Donald doubled down on his conspiracy theories this week, moving on from Haitian migrants living in Springfield, Ohio, eating the residents' dogs to them "walking off with the town's geese." "They've taken the geese," he said. "You know where the geese are in the park, in the lake, and even walking off with their pets.

Eric Hovde, the California banker who is trying to become Wisconsin's carpetbagger senator, continues to communicate effectively. For example, Hovde was recently on a radio talk show when he flew off the handle when question about foreign governments investing in his banks: Yesterday, a newspaper mentioned what I just talked about, but then talks about, yeah, but Eric Hovde has financial issues because there's a foreign government that invested in his bank or has a deposit in his bank.

Republican vice presidential candidate J. D. Vance lashed out at CNN host Dana Bash after she told him there had been bomb threats in Springfield, Ohio, following his suggestion that Haitians were eating pets in the town. In a Sunday interview on CNN's State of the Union program, Bash noted that local officials "found zero evidence to substantiate" claims that geese were being taken out of parks by Haitian immigrants. "Also, other evidence that you have talked about, even you've retweeted alleged evidence, are unsourced social media videos from a different city, apparently no connection to Haitians," Bash said. "So instead of saying things that are wrong and actually causing the hospitals, the schools, the government buildings to be evacuated because of bomb threats, because of the cats and dogs thing, why not actually be constructive in helping to better integrate them into the community?" the CNN host asked. Vance said the question was "frankly disgusting" and "more appropriate for a democratic propagandist than it is for an American journalist." He insisted that nothing he said caused the bomb threats in Springfield. "Senator, this happened after you and President Trump were on the debate stage, said that cats and dogs were being eaten," Bash pointed out.

Most of us have already had our fill of summer fun, right? Such as drinking beer and just having a good time with our friends and family. Craig Morgan’s album My Kind of Livin’, which features two of his greatest hits , captures the same vibe. “Redneck Yacht Club” and “That’s What I Love About Sunday.”

“Redneck Yacht Club,” the second single from his album My Kind of Livin’, was released in 2005. It reached number two on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, trailing Keith Urban’s “Better Life.”

Peter Zavadil directed the music video, which was shot at Tennessee’s Percy Priest Lake. Morgan may be seen having the fun of his life with his buddies in the summer heat. The music is lively in a way that will make your body sway.

That might be why so many listeners fell in love with it. So much so that the RIAA awarded the song a GOLD for 500,000 sales and another GOLD for digital downloads. Thom Shepherd and Steve Williams wrote the song initially.

As of 2022, the music video on YouTube still has a reasonably high number of views, with around 26 million views in total. The music video includes a soothing background track and an upbeat vibe. That might be the reason why so many listeners, both old and new, were able to resonate with it.

And for some additional fun fact about the song, Blake Shelton , Aaron Tippin , and other country music stars also made a cameo appearance in the said music video. The party that the group of devoted friends is throwing represents the enjoyment they experience on the lake “all summer long.” 

On the other hand, Craig Morgan once told USA Today that he believes ‘redneck’ was once regarded as a negative word, but that is no longer the case. For him, it’s now more of a way of life than anything else.

So, if you’re searching for a song to listen to while driving to the beach this summer, Craig Morgan’s “Redneck Yacht Club” is definitely a great choice. You may listen to the song right now by clicking here.
