This facility described by Captain Gary below, lies east of Fort Myers. on the Okeechobee Waterway. However, sounds like its readily accessible to Western Florida boat owners.

New Hurricane Hole
River Forest Yachting Center has just completed a new facility in LaBelle. This facility will cater to West Coast boaters as the one in Stuart takes care of hurricane storage issues for the East Coast boaters.
The center features two 51,000 square feet buildings built to withstand hurricane force winds. The storage buildings also offer climate control for summer storage of boats whose owners may be heading North. If you are a seasonal boater, you can store your boat and not worry about the weather.
The other interesting feature of the Center is the Hurricane Club. Membership in the Club assures you of a secure outside tie down in the event of a named storm. The membership rate is based on the size of the boat and the Center can accommodate most boats up to 100’. As insurance policies get more complex, this may be an ideal way to mitigate your losses.
When a storm is imminent, a quick trip up the Caloosahatchee River may take your boat out of harm’s way. Hopefully, you will never need to use the Hurricane Club, but it is reassuring to know that it is an option.
The facility also operates as a transient marina for those traveling on the River. If the rainy season prevails, this would be a good overnight stay for those traversing the state.
For more information on the Center, phone 863-946-005.
