Captain Pips Marina & Hideaway
Step into the captivating history of Captain Pip’s Marina & Hideaway, once known as Bill Thompson’s Villas and Marina, alongside the iconic Porky’s. Back in the swinging '50s, this was THE place to be! Picture this: Ernest Hemingway, Jimmy Hoffa, Elizabeth Taylor, and Eddie Fisher making waves as regulars. And let's not forget the legendary antics—yes, they definitely 'Got Drunk Here!’
The founders of Captain Pip’s were two remarkable ladies, accompanied by their loyal canine companion, Pip. In a time when the idea of women owning and running such a business was unconventional, they frequently faced questions like, 'Where's the captain?' Their witty response? They'd humorously declare that Captain Pip was busily attending to matters around the property! This delightful anecdote adds to the charm of Captain Pip’s rich history.
