March 31, 2026
Fish Tale Boats Fort Myers
A south-bound cruise through Naples and Marco Island waters. We start at the standard meeting point near Sanibel/Punta Rassa at 9 AM, then navigate through Gordon Pass, Port Royale, and Naples Bay before heading toward Marco Island via the ICW. The route includes cruising the northern side of Marco between Jolly Bridge and Coconut Island. Bring your own lunch — many waterfront spots have fewer dock spaces than our group needs. Approximately 100 miles round trip.
