    • Great Diesel Fuel Stop In Fort Myers Beach

      Located at Mile Marker 135 on the Okeechobee Waterway, 15 miles inland from the Gulf of Mexico, Fort Myers Yacht Basin is a well designed and protected marina. It is owned and operated by the City ofSounds like a great place to fill the tank!

      Those of you in the area of Fort Myers Beach, FL, here's a pearl.  In Ft. Myers Beach, Matanzas Pass, there is a company called Ballard Oil that has diesel (ONLY DIESEL) prices that are $0.20 below the next best prices in the area.  Ballard is a commercial fuel dock that fuels shrimp boats, but also fuels sport fish and non-commercial customers. Today, the cash/check price for diesel was $2.399 with all FL state taxes included.  Ft. Myers Yacht Basin was $2.579.  So, for cruising boats, a nice savings. 
      To get to Ballard, follow Matanzas pass through the Ft. Myers Beach Bridge, hard to port after the bridge and follow the channel around to starboard, past the shrimp boat fleet, to a 4 story white building that has a huge red "DIESEL" sign painted on it.  Contact is owner Jim Ballard.  Phone number is (239) 463-7677.
      Peg and Jim Healy, aboard Sanctuary
