I am looking for info on where to powerboat on the inter coastal (Sarasota Bay & Little Sarasota Bay) from Bradenton to Siesta Key, Fla. Where can you beach your boat? best beaches? what bar/resturant can you dock at? best bar/resturant for night life for singles? I only have a 28ft Nordic so I would only be boating on the bay. I was also thinking of renting a home (for 2 months)some where there that had a dock or boat lift for $2500 to $3000 per month. Do you think this can be done? And where would the best place be for a single person?....Any info about this area would be appreciated.

Got to go to Cabbage Key which is just north of Captiva Island, most of the passes over there you can beach your boat on, I have gone out in the gulf and beached on a calm day, have fun

Your boat is plenty big for the bay AND GULF. Most of t5he time it's like 2 foot in the gulf. There are places all over to boat here. Give me a call when you are down.941-758-3303. You should be able to find a place in your price range. Bradenton to Siesta Key is only like 10-15 miles if that. You'll be able to boat much more than that probably be more like St Pete to Ft Myers.
