Cape Coral Boat Rentals and Sales - Welcome to our boating paradise, here's the scoop on what you need to know to get out on the water!

With miles of canals, lakes, the Caloosahatchee River, and the Gulf of Mexico, Cape Coral has plenty of great options for boating enthusiasts.

We also have fantastic fishing among the estuaries that border our city and the barrier islands of Ft Myers Beach, Sanibel, Captiva, Pine Island, and Matlacha ...... not to mention Cayo Costa, Useppa, Cabbage Key, Lovers Key and lots of smaller islands in the area. For those who don't want to fish, there are beaches, waterfront dining, and nature to explore!

We have companies that sell yachts, boats new and used, plus the option of renting or even joining a boat club for those who don't want to lay out the dollars it takes to own a boat.

It's very important that you understand the proper etiquette with your Cape Coral boat rentals. Please be courteous and considerate with fellow boaters, follow the laws, be aware of manatee speed zones, and handle the boat safely.

Be aware of the weather forecast and any possible hazards. Pay attention to your fuel levels, plan 1/3 for the way out, 1/3 for the return, and 1/3 for extra reserves.

Become familiar with maps and charts, flotation devices, and safety equipment, don't drive your boat onto the beach ........ keep it anchored properly offshore.

Be safe and have fun, and really experience the Florida lifestyle with Cape Coral boat rentals. If you fall in love with boating, then you may want to take the next step and buy a boat! If so, there are a couple of places in the Cape.
