Boating in Gulf Florida isn't just a luxury, it's a necessity. Living in Southwest Florida, and watching a beautiful sunset on the Gulf of Mexico, will make a lasting memory you'll never forget.

FISHING:
Fishing in Gulf Southwest Florida can be one of the best experiences you may ever have. Much of the coastline is lined with mangroves, a prime ingredient for an estuary which is basically a breeding ground for both bait fish and sport fish. The shallow back bays provide the perfect location to catch a Trout or Snook. You can also take a trip out to deeper waters where shipwrecks and artificial reefs provide the perfect spots for a variety of Grouper, Snapper and Mackerel. There are more than 1,000 species of fish in the Florida waters and most of them are edible. To avoid overfishing, many rules have been established. To avoid fishing violations, it is well advised to be aware of them.
