Location
The Area
Nestled in the waters between Fort Myers Beach and Sanibel Island, our location offers ideal conditions for learning to sail. The calm, protected waters of the Intracoastal Waterway provide a safe environment for beginners, while the nearby Gulf of Mexico offers more open sailing experiences as skills develop. The area features a variety of scenic anchorages, waterfront restaurants, and resorts, making it an excellent place to combine sailing with relaxation. Our students benefit from easy access to diverse sailing conditions and a vibrant coastal community, supporting a comprehensive and enjoyable training experience.
Getting There
Upon arriving in the Fort Myers area, the most convenient major airport is Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW), which offers numerous domestic flights. From the airport, you can rent a car, take a ride-hailing service like Uber or Lyft, or arrange for a private transfer to Port of Call Charters School located at 13601 McGregor Blvd Suite 17 in Fort Myers. The drive typically takes around 20-30 minutes, depending on traffic. If you prefer to arrive by train, Amtrak services the nearby cities, but you'll still need to arrange for ground transportation to the school. Once in Fort Myers, follow local signs to McGregor Boulevard; the school is situated within the Port of Call Marina area. We recommend pre-arranging your transportation to ensure a smooth and relaxed journey to our sailing school.
Best Time to Go
The best time to sail in the Ft Myers area is from late fall through early spring, when the weather is comfortably warm and the waters are calm. Winter months offer ideal conditions for both beginners and experienced sailors to enjoy the tranquil jade-blue waters without the summer crowds.
