We are considering renting a 41 foot twin diesel houseboat in the
Captiva/Sanibel/Cape Coral area for a spring vacation. Not a bad
deal.....around $2,300 for a full week, 41 foot (14 foot beam) with twin
diesels, 2 staterooms, 2 full baths, genny, AC, full kitchen, gas grill,
dual helms, linens.....etc.. Some rental places even throw in a full tank
of diesel. We figure we can pull an inflatable.

We vacationed in Sanibel several years back and love the area.

Has anyone done this before? If so, what advice can you offer?

What sort of protected transient dockage does the area offer in the event of
bad weather?
