The operation
A rental dock that briefs you properly
Speed Dock sits at 3637 Del Prado Boulevard South with direct access to the Caloosahatchee and, through it, Pine Island Sound, Sanibel and the Gulf. The fleet runs from a 19-foot Sea Ray SPX and a Bayliner VR6 at the entry end through Hurricane and Chaparral deck boats, Four Winns and Regal bowriders, Key West and Sea Fox center consoles, and Harris, Crest, Godfrey, Avalon and Regency pontoons.
What reviewers keep returning to is the handover. Boats are described as well maintained and clean, the checkout as efficient, and each one goes out with an iPad carrying navigation charts and specific routes, which matters on a coast where the wrong channel means a grounding. Rentals run by the day, with multi-day rates that drop the per-day cost sharply.

The site does not list staff by name; reviewers mention Bastian and Captain Tom.
The one to book
Crest and Godfrey Pontoons
For a sandbar day with a group, the 250-horsepower pontoons are the right call: shade, open seating, a swim ladder and enough power to get down the river without burning the afternoon.
One day is $599, two days $1,099. The 150-horsepower Harris is the cheaper pontoon at $449 a day.
