Faro Blanco Yacht Club & Resort receives ValvTect Marina of the Year Award Faro Blanco Yacht Club & Resort received the ValvTect Petroleum's 2016 Marina of the Year Award, presented at the International Marina & Boatyard Conference in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. "The revival of Faro Blanco has been fi fteen years in the making; our company and our team, with the help of the City of Marathon, were deeply humbled to have the opportunity to restore the property" said Bill Spottswood, who led the redevelopment ef- fort on behalf of Spottswood Companies. "As lifelong Keys residents, every effort was made to remain true to the resort's legacy and its place within the community. Part of that ef- fort meant bringing the marina into the 21st century and providing the next generation of Keys' boaters with a clean, effi cient and state- of-the art marina experience. Our relationship with ValvTect is part of that vision. We are tremendously proud of the end result."
