Your captain marks spots on the map where you can stop, eat and relax. A few ideas to start with, or browse all our things to do by boat in Cape Coral.
Boat Delivery Around Southwest Florida
Staying somewhere with a dock? Our SWFL boat rentals can come to you: for a fee, a captain delivers the boat by water to your vacation rental. No trailer, no tow-and-go. Delivery covers guests staying in Fort Myers and Fort Myers Beach. For Sanibel, Naples or Marco Island, call and ask. See how boat rental delivery works, including the fuel policy and the steps on delivery day.
Boat Days Without Owning a Boat
Our Boat Club is for people who want regular time on the water without paying for insurance, storage, a slip or maintenance. Members can switch boat types too: a deck boat one week, a center console for fishing the next. Join the boat club when you're ready, or call to ask how it works.

What Our Guests Say
Why rent from a marina instead of a delivery-only company?
We have a physical marina, we own and maintain our fleet, and licensed captains run every orientation. You can stop in, see the boats and meet the people who look after them.
Which boat is right for my group?
Pontoons and deck boats suit families and groups who want room to relax. Center consoles suit fishing and longer runs, and pontoons stay on the river, canals and back bays. Tell us your group size and plans when you call and we'll help you pick, depending on passenger and gear weight.
Do you rent boats for a week or a month?
Yes. We rent by the day, the week or the month, and plenty of our guests are snowbirds and month-long visitors who keep a boat for their whole stay.
What happens if my boat has a problem?
We keep backup boats, so if a boat breaks down we can get you back on the water in another one. Call us and we'll sort it out.
Where can I go with a rental boat from Cape Coral?
The Caloosahatchee River, the canals, San Carlos Bay and Pine Island Sound are all open to you, and Gulf-approved boats can head out to the island beaches. Your captain goes over the GPS and a paper map with spots to stop and where not to go.
