A decently smooth ramp down to the water with a small amount of room to straighten out your trailer (good luck!) and about a dozen or so parking spots for vehicles and trailers. There ramp is wide enough for two to launch at the same time and there are floating docks on each side. The ramp continues a good bit into the water. The park includes some shaded and covered picnic areas that have barbecue grills. They overlook the river but expect noise from the tires going over the bridge deck. There is a public restroom available (though it has "out of order" signs right now). As near as I can tell, the launch and the parking are free. Rumor has it, there is good fishing in the river that extends from the Gulf of Mexico to Lake Okeechobee. [Review 19287 overall - 1635 in Florida - 257 of 2023.]

From there, we went to the airboat before we got to go on the airboat. Addison showed us some different snakes which we got to hold and taught us more about the animals in the area. We had Captain Fred take us out on the airboat. He was also extremely knowledgeable about the animals and fauna of the area. We did this during off-season so we had the boat to ourselves, which was really awesome. Highly suggest to anyone and everyone that they take this tour. The half-day was plenty to us. The full day would've been cool. Maybe that will happen next time. Make sure to ask for Addison and Fred.

We rented a pontoon boat here for a full day in early January. In general, it was a good…read moreexperience and a great day out on Pine Island Sound but I wanted to pass on a couple of clarifications and insights. THE CONS: First, the 22 foot tritoon boats are not pictured on their website, so be aware that it isn't quite as comfortable as those presented. (Those look more like the 24 ft. pontoons advertised) The 22 foot boats are VERY bare bones. I didn't think to take any pictures of the whole boat to share, but you get a sense from one of the attached photos. Seats are very rigid and seatbacks are not very comfortable. This is NOT a luxury pontoon - no cup holders? That's almost hard to believe these days. There were only 4 of us so everyone was able to easily move around to get into sun or shade, but you'd be very limited with more than 6 people. Second, when I phoned to check availability and verify price, I mentioned that we were planning to get to Cayo Costa State Park. This was very clear since the person on the phone even gave me a time estimate of 3 hours each way (that works with 8 hours of rental, allowing 2 hours on the island). Unfortunately, upon arrival I learned that Cayo Costa is listed on the map as being "out of bounds" for their rentals and the chart provided doesn't even show how you might get there. The reason provided was a concern over fuel, and because I was cautioned that the more-comfortable looking 24 foot boats had an even less-efficient engine, upgrading to comfort would require refueling even to go to Cabbage Key. Finally, if you plan to venture anywhere outside of the Intercoastal Channel, invest in a better chart of the sound and pay attention to tidal charts. In retrospect, I would have bought one and I'm not sure if they have them at the store (didn't think to ask, not knowing). The one they provide is a laminated sheet, probably 11x15 and has no detail of any value. I'm a fairly experienced boater but the challenges of shallows in the sound were still a surprise. THE PROS: Having said everything above, we had a great day out. It was generally cool and turned cloudy so there wasn't as much lounging on the boat as we anticipated so the bare bones boat worked. The attendant was very nice (name escapes me), he was helpful with any questions, and had some interesting insights on where to refuel (we didn't) and some other good directions on things to watch for on the trip. The rental shop was easy to find and certainly easily accessible by car. We were under power for most of the day and decided to do a picnic at Cottage Key instead of the state park. We toured around Useppa and had some incredible dolphin sightings north of the island. The Cabbage Key dock was very crowded and busy but the dockmaster was a great guy (be sure to tip!). We enjoyed seeing the many osprey nests at the channel markers, particularly in the morning. If we decide to venture out to Cayo Costa in the future, I think we'll need to rent on north Sanibel or Captiva and pay the extra price. It would require more driving time but less long-haul boat time: a decent trade off. BUT I will definitely explicitly confirm this on the phone. I was pleasantly surprised to have a full tank of gas included in the cost of the rental - no shocks in the end. And we made the most of it. I kept an eye on the gauge (as best as bumpy ride allows) and we didn't need to refuel to return, despite the full distance. We probably benefitted from having only 4, so I'm not suggesting you risk it, but the prospect of refueling and estimating how much would have been a challenge. On a sunnier day, with more chances for lounging or swimming, I'd have wished we upgraded the rental to the pontoon.
