Here
are our recommendations for transportation
for those who are not driving to Southwest
Florida. If you are flying into Southwest
Florida International Airport (airport code
RSW) in Fort Myers and are:
|
Chartering from our Marinatown Base in North
Fort Myers:
We recommend that you consider calling
Callahan’s Airport Limousine Service
at 800-522-9595 in advance to arrange
transportation from the airport to our
docks. Callahan’s will bring you directly
to your yacht to unload your gear. You may
then go through your charter checkout (if
early enough in the day), and get settled in
for your first night aboard. We can call a
taxi for you to go and do your
provisioning. The grocery store is just a
few miles from our marina.
Yellow Car: 239-332-1055
Orange Taxi: 239-731-8294
Metro Cab: 239-274-5000 |

Taking a
Boating Course from our Marinatown Base in
North Fort Myers:
If you do not want to rent a car, you can use
Callahan’s Service as outlined above.
However, during your P101 course, you will be
coming back to the dock for three nights. You
might consider having a car at your disposal
in case you choose to go shopping, out to
dinner, or need to do additional provisioning.
|
|
Chartering or taking a class at our Burnt
Store Marina Base on Charlotte Harbor:
Burnt
Store Marina is approximately 35 miles from
the airport. The Marina is about halfway
between Fort Myers and Punta Gorda, Florida.
Therefore, renting a car to have at your
disposal is probably the best bet for the
average 3-7 day charter or class. For longer
vacations, using the limo service may be a
less expensive option. For provisioning trips
from Burnt Store you may call J&R
Transportation at 941-639-0052. They are
located near the marina and their rate is $20
per hour with a 1 hour minimum. $65 to/from
the airport and $20 per hour wait time for
shopping, etc.

CALLAHAN'S AIRPORT TRANSPORTATION
Callahan’s
will pick you up at the airport and take you
and your crew to either of our charter bases.
We recommend Callahan’s if you do not want to
rent a car. All of the transportation
services at our local airport are regulated
and, therefore, the rates are the same. Your
Callahan’s driver will know right where to
take you. Reservations are required in
advance.
