Need Marco Island local information

[Mark Major]

I will be taking a week long trip starting from Marco Island. I am familiar with one ramp in the area, but there is no overnight parking allowed. I will need somewhat secure parking for my vehicle and trailer in close proximity to a ramp (I am single handing). If anyone has information it would be a great help.

Just pulled out of there

I just pulled a h27 out of Calusa Island Marina in Goodland. This is right next to Marco Island.They have a ramp It is not long and at the end of it was 5 ft 6" deep at high tide. I am sure of this because I measured it. My new boat draws 3'6" and with the trailer I couldn't load it via the ramp. Your h23 with 2'4" draft really shouldnt be a problem. I also have a h23 and don't think I would have had any problems launching. You may have to wait for high tide to retreive. Someone lives at the marina and seemed VERY safe when we stayed there for 3 days. Their number is (239) 394-3668 Good LuckWard
