Free bikes available. We have 2 kayaks and a 10' Dingy with or without outboard you can explore the nature preserve's mangrove water trails and islands in the river independently, fish, crab, and more. A hot tub with a commanding view of the sunset from the flybridge is available to set up upon request.

Contact us to optionally cruise or spend an evening or two literally away from it all peacefully off-grid, bobbing on anchor with solar power. Budget $800+/day off the dock for Captain, fuel, preparation and post cleanup. No, you cannot operate a boat this size safely yourself.

100% of your stay goes to support Inclusive Adventures a 501(c)3 Non-profit serving the disabled mobility impaired, wounded veterans, and families with children with special needs. Learn more: inclusiveinc.org

Great for families with not too small children.

Mark (44) and his wife Karla (40) will be your hosts and welcoming you aboard as our guests. We love meeting new people. We are both vaccinated. We will not be staying onboard.

After booking, I will call you to discuss all details and make sure it's a good mutual fit and ensure a stress-free exceptional experience. 100% immediately refundable if you decide it's not a good fit.

This requires planning and will be handled in the phone call after you book your stay.

If you or a
member of your family has a physical disability to whom boating or adventure in general otherwise seems a near impossibility, and are not able to afford to help cover the cost of their participation, they should contact us to apply for a grant. Through these experiences we are about changing perspective from programmed vulnerable dependency to confident self-determination. If you or your organization would consider sponsoring an event or disabled participants with a tax deductible donation, contact Inclusive Adventures so we can create a custom tailored experience as a thank you for your support!

New Years Eve on a Motor yacht
We stayed on a boat for New Years Eve. The boat was nice and we had a wonderful time. Our host, Mark, was very sweet. Being boat people, we understand that unexpected things happen. That being said, the listing advertised a hot tub which was never set up, and the water heater was not turned on. A few repairs were needed. Good thing my husband knows boats.

Very enjoyable, centrally located and close to restaurants, bars and walking trails. The marina was quiet and secure. Our host met us and gave us a thorough review of the area and all the workings of the vessel. Great experience and would highly recommend!

True SW Florida Hospitality
My girlfriend, her brother, and I stayed with Capt. Mark at this houseboat and were thoroughly impressed with the space and the experience they created for guests. We were greeted and given an orientation of the boat, as well as some homey touches added for our experience. The hot tub views on the top deck were amazing, and we slept comfortably both nights of our stay. You will not find a better place and experience to stay in Punta Gorda. Close to everything with wonderful hospitality. Our thanks to Capt. Mark and his wife for their excellent communication and a wonderful experience.
