Tarpon Point in Cape Coral rents deck boats. Snook Bight & Salty Sam's on Fort Myers rent deck boats and pontoons. There are more but that's what could think of off the top of my head.

There is another on the way to Sanibel on right. Can't think of the name of it but they rent boats. Rented a Grady from them before I moved down

Hottest spot is lani Kai on the gulf. Also many people anchor up at different islands. Good restaurants in bay under the bridge.

We went out both days last weekend and this past Wednesday so we're not going out this weekend or we would take you out, sorry, but lots bar/restaurants around Ft. Myers Beach bridge (Doc Ford's, Parrot Key, Big Game) and the beach, a few deck boats and lots of pontoons, just google it, there's a cool place on Ft. M beach called Yucatan, it's on the right just as soon as you cross the bridge by car, we live in the Cape over by Rumrunners in Cape Harbour, we're probably going over tonight for cocktails, if you're out and about The Joint always has a little band playing (6-9pm), look for the only tall blonde with big coconuts and you'll see me (Jim akajoey) sitting next her, lol, have fun, maybe see you when you get down in the Fall.

The FMO is a great bunch of people that get together for boating and some fun once a month from Oct-March, take care, Jim.

ICUL, get home so you can get out and have some beers.

Like Scabby Jack said, your best friend is the GPS, you don't have to be paranoid with it, but it's just good policy to pay attention to it and you'll be fine, maybe we'll see you out while you're down, looks like you've got some great weather for your visit, have fun.
