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 MyersWe 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. (Rates vary. Call them for rate information.) 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

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. Call them for current rate information and tell them you are an SFY customer.
 

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.  Your Callahan’s driver will know right where to take you. Reservations are required in advance 1-800-522-9595 or 239-772-5599. Call them for current rate information and tell them you are an SFY customer.


HERTZ LOCAL CAR RENTAL

Hertz Car Rental has an office in downtown Fort Myers.  If you choose to rent a car at the airport to bring all of your gear to the boat and then do your grocery shopping, you can leave the car at the marina and a Hertz employee will pick up the car when you no longer need it.  Arrangements can be made, also, to have a car ready for you on your return to the airport.
