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 Callahan's  Limo Service may be a less expensive option.  For a small additional change, they will let you stop at the grocery store to purchase your provisions while they wait for you. There is no grocery store near Burnt Store.

If you take a cab to Burnt Store Marina and then need to go to the grocery store or run other errands you may call J&R TRANSPORTATION at   941-639-0052.  They also service the airport. They are conveniently located near Burnt Store.. Call them for current rate information and tell them you are an SFY customer.
 

LOCAL CAR RENTAL
