Skipper Needs West Florida Navigation Advice, Sanibel to Fort Myers Beach
Salty Sams Marina occupies the northern banks of the Fort Myers Beach channel, northeast of marker #28. Sanibel Isalnd marks the western shore of San Carlos Bay.
I am moving my boat from Sanibel Harbour Club to Salty Sams Ft Myers Beach. Does anyone have directions via waterways. I know it’s just around the corner 40 min away but don’t know which canal to take to get there. Can someone please help me. Thanks. paulinecody@hotmail.com

Easy enough. Hang a left coming out of Sanibel Harbor and head under the sanibel bridge. Need to honor the reds until #6 then you can head for the tip of of Fort Myers Beach (aim to right a bit say the Beach pier) until you pick up the marks of Mantanza’s pass. Follow that in (favor the greens going around Bowditch point and exercise caution-the sand moves there. Follow the channel along the back side of Ft Myers Beach. Wave to the Coasties; go under the Mantanza Pass/Fort myers beach bridge; wave to the folks at Bonita BIlls; hang a hard left after you get under the bridge (it is very shoal in the middle ) following the marked channel around past the shrimp boats/docks and Salty Sams will be at the end of this commercial stretch.
