Cruisers bound for this facility will need to break off from the Western Florida ICW near the northern tip of Pine Island Sound, and cruise into broad Charlotte Harbor, lying to the northeast. Charlotte Harbor Boat Storage’s long entrance canal cuts the western shores of lower (southern) Charlotte Harbor.

I tried a general search for this and got little results so if someone knows where this info already exsists please let me know.
I will need to find a place within 100 miles from Fort Myers, Fl. to pull a 38 ft Bayliner around Feb / March /. Reasonable price of course is a concern as well as being able to work on my own boat if needed. Will probably store for 7-8 mo.
Thanks, Jeff

Jeff:
A number of folks praise Charlotte Harbor Boat Storage in Placida, FL (http://www.charlotteharborboatstorage.com/). I have never used them, but they get good reviews in general.
On the charts, they are here: N 26 52.619 W082 14.095
Give them a call.

We have used Glades Boat Storage for the last four summers. It is located on the Okeechobee Waterway about 40 miles east of Ft. Myers. Because one must pass through two locks, your boat is safe from storm surge during a hurricane. Also, your engine gets a good freshwater rinse on the trip up the river. This `old Florida’ boatyard is probably the most price friendly storage yard in the state. Contact them at 863-983-3040.

We hauled our 35 foot sailboat here [Charlotte Harbor Boat Storage] this past summer and they are a great, inexpensive place to haul your boat (warning though hot and extremely buggy in the summer, even worse than just being in FL!!).
This boat yard is first class though. Competent and friendly staff (Shirley and Smitty are great!), dog friendly, they have showers, laundry, and a nice clubhouse-esque location that is screened in with tables, a tv, microwaves, a huge sink, a refrigerator, free ice, and they also have free, good wifi. The yard is really secure, locked at night, and two of the employees live on the premises.
Grocery store and home depot are about a 4 mile trek but you can usually find a ride if you need to get something large and there is a west marine and super wal-mart a little further away.
All and all I would HIGHLY recommend. We were on the hard, living aboard for 6 weeks and total bill with tax was $1200.
One final note, they don’t make you buy supplies from them and they do not add an extra percentage charge for any outside labor you need.
