Welcome Aboard

Fort Myers Boating

Many of the most beautiful locations in Southwest Florida are only accessible by boat. Step from dock to deck and cruise to laid-back settlements or stretches of coastline left to nature’s influence, all while dolphins play in your boat wake.

With hundreds of islands dotting our Gulf waters, a majority remains disconnected to the mainland by bridge. For an even more secluded experience than the sparsely populated beaches on Sanibel and Captiva, try the local pastime of island-hopping in Pine Island Sound. You’ll discover the remote shores and personalities of some of our more famous outer islands.

Visit a local marina, where a variety of charter and sightseeing cruises are available for spending the day hopping between islands like North CaptivaCabbage Key and Boca Grande. Beyond island-hopping there are so many ways to boat. Just choose the craft that’s your speed.

For fun and learning in the same boat excursion, book an eco tour or dolphin cruise. Lunch cruises are also available for journeys to our outer islands featuring remote restaurants. 

Half the fun of being on a boat is fishing. At Lovers Key State Park just south of Fort Myers Beach, rangers lead fishing and cast-netting programs for people of all ages. Check in with local bait shops to learn what’s biting where and for information on fishing restrictions.
