    Florida Boating Vacation Suggestions (Bringing my 31 footer).

    I rented a boat in Tierra Verde last time I was down, went over to John's Pass Sandbar. I liked the boating there a lot, was wishing I had my boat. That was in March. What's the boating like in early January? I was thinking going further south to the Keys. Would like to maybe rent a place on a canal with a dock and bring my 31 ft boat down.

    Any suggestions on towns to look at? Are there any good sandbars to hang out at that time of year or not hot enough? Family friendly preferred.

    ...towns to look at, for maybe buying in, in the future, or just towns to look at as a sightseer/tourist, or?

    The west coast = calm water

    Higher up is Goodland, Marco Island, Fort Myers...

    Everglades city is the southernmost

    Depends what you want to do.

    No just for a 2 week vacation. I'd like to rent a house on a canal to keep my boat in the water the whole time.

    Same for me last year so I brought a boat this year. We went out on the Caloosahachee river by LaBelle. It was great boating and we ran across a large group of fast boats guys with big outboards. Looked like big fun. My boats a V drive so it was the only inboard around. I’ve got to stay in fresh water. Click image for larger version.
