EVENTS

The Sanibel Island area and southwest Florida, including the Lee Island Coast from Fort Myers to the 10,000 Islands, provide some of the most beautiful cruising waterways and scenic beauty in the Sunshine State. The Sanibel Fort Myers Poker Run is a great way to experience many of these highlights in just a few short days. 

With home-base at the highly acclaimed Sanibel Harbour Marriott Resort & Marina, this boating hub is essentially the crossroads between the enormous Caloosahatchee River, the protected bay waters of Pine Island Sound, and the open waters of the Gulf of Mexico. The significance of this location, is that it provides the ideal launching point for cruising to a variety of destinations: northbound to places like South Seas Resort on Captiva Island, Cabbage Key, Useppa and Charlotte Harbor. Exploring southbound,  coastal waters connect Fort Myers Beach, Bonita Beach and Lovers Key. On fair-weather days, performance boaters can easily reach Naples, Marco Island and Everglades City in virtually minutes.

Changing this event format from year to year, has kept the spirit for adventure alive, and FPC now offers a Friday Fun Run to Cabbage Key, and a Saturday poker run to Everglades City, gateway to the 10,000 Islands and Everglades National Park.
