Weaver said that some people are worried it will fall into the wrong hands and may not be available to the public in the future, but he hopes it be expanded and improved on. Loomis said they set up a membership system to allow people to purchase liquor from their bar. The memberships range from $9 a month to $499 for three years, and Loomis said they ended up with approximately 4,500 members. They closed Beer Can Island to the public in February of this year and listed it for $14.2 million. But now, they're closing in on a deal to pass the island and its visitors to the next owners.

Weaver said when they first bought the island, he camped out there for 100 days straight helping out with the bar, socializing with the onslaught of visitors and growing a big "Cast Away" beard in the meantime. "Unfortunately, those things can happen anywhere," Loomis said, adding that the island is safer with the staff who were trained in providing aid than if it was left uninhabited with the flow of visitors. He remembers most fondly the variety of people the island attracted, including professional athletes, politicians and people whose families had been going there for up to seven generations. Loomis pooled money with some friends including Cole Weaver with the hopes of operating a floating tiki bar off its shores. "I had no idea how popular this place was with the boating community," Loomis told USA TODAY in an interview. "Come early February, early March...every weekend or every nice weather day the island was completely surrounded by hundreds of boats and hundreds of people up on the island."
