We're at 26395 Hickory Blvd on Bonita Beach, between North Naples and Fort Myers Beach. Parking is limited, so carpool if you can — our attendant will point you to a spot.
Bring sunscreen, drinks, snacks and a cooler. We'll handle ice, bait and fishing rods at the dock if you want them.
We size up life jackets for everyone (kids included), walk you through the boat, and mark the best spots on your easy-to-read water map — dolphins, sandbars, lunch docks.
Then Estero Bay is yours. Idle out of the channel, throttle up, and enjoy.
Most of our renters have never skippered a boat before. Pontoons are the easiest boats on the water: stable, slow to react, with simple controls — one throttle, one wheel.
Before you leave the dock we cover the channel markers, the idle zones, tides, and exactly where to go for whatever you're after — swimming, shelling, dolphins or lunch. And if you have a question out on the water, call us. We know every corner of this bay.
Book in two minutes — fuel, tax, life jackets and local knowledge included.
