Wiggins Pass to the Everglades.
Where you are staying decides which ramp you drive to — and, more importantly, what water you get to spend the day on.

Pick the row that matches where you are staying.
This is a real list, not a page of city names. Every row names the ramp we would send you to and an honest drive time to it.
Naples
5–10 minutes to Bayview Park
Old Naples, Fifth Avenue and Third Street stays are closest to the Naples Bay launch, which is also the fast way to Keewaydin Island.
North Naples
5–15 minutes to Cocohatchee
Vanderbilt Beach, Pelican Bay, Mercato and Pelican Marsh are all a short drive from our home port at the Cocohatchee River.
Marco Island
15 minutes to Goodland
Marco stays are far closer to Goodland than to either Naples ramp, which makes the Ten Thousand Islands day the obvious trip.
Goodland
2 minutes to the ramp
We deliver the boat straight to Goodland Boat Park for a flat $120 fee — the closest launch in Collier County to the Ten Thousand Islands.
Isles of Capri
15 minutes to Goodland
Same southern water as Marco and Goodland: Gullivan Bay, Rookery Bay and the island maze all within a short run.
Everglades City
40 minutes to Goodland
The backwaters behind Everglades City and Chokoloskee are reachable by water from Goodland on a full-day booking.
Bonita Springs
15–20 minutes to Cocohatchee
Bonita Beach and Barefoot Beach guests use our north launch, and Little Hickory Bay is a 20-minute run from it.
Estero
25 minutes to Cocohatchee
Coconut Point and Miromar stays are a straight run down US-41 or I-75 to the north ramp.
Fort Myers
45 minutes to Cocohatchee
The practical airport for a Naples trip is in Fort Myers, and our north launch is the closest of the three to it.
Golden Gate and Ave Maria
20–35 minutes to Cocohatchee
Inland Collier County guests take Immokalee Rd straight west to the ramp.
Collier County
Three launches county-wide
Two free operational launches in Naples and one delivered launch in Goodland cover the county from Wiggins Pass to the Everglades boundary.
Service-area questions
Before you drive anywhere.
What areas does Surf Florida serve?
Surf Florida serves all of Collier County from two operational launches in Naples — Cocohatchee River Marina at 13535 Vanderbilt Dr, Naples, FL 34110 and Bayview Park Marina at 1575 Danford St, Naples, FL 34112 — plus a delivered launch at Goodland Boat Park, 750 Palm Point Dr, Goodland, FL 34140. Guests come to us from Naples, North Naples, Marco Island, Goodland, Isles of Capri, Everglades City, Bonita Springs, Estero, Fort Myers and inland Collier County. You drive to the ramp; there is nothing to tow.
Do you deliver the boat to other marinas or to a private dock?
The only delivered launch we publish is Goodland Boat Park, at a flat $120 per booking, because it is the closest ramp in Collier County to the Ten Thousand Islands. Our two Naples launches are free. If you are staying somewhere else on the water, call (239) 272-8625 and ask — we will tell you honestly whether it is worth it or whether one of the three existing ramps is closer than you think.
Which launch should I pick for where I am staying?
North Naples, Bonita Springs, Estero and Fort Myers stays use Cocohatchee River Marina. Old Naples, Fifth Avenue, Third Street and East Naples stays use Bayview Park Marina. Marco Island, Goodland and Isles of Capri stays should almost always take the Goodland delivery — the Ten Thousand Islands are 10 minutes from that dock versus 35 from Naples Bay. If you are not sure, tell us the address you are staying at when you book and we will pick.
How far in advance should I book?
In season — roughly December through April — a week or more, and weekends go first. Off season you can often get a next-day slot. Either way the boat is booked through Boatsetter, we run monday through saturday from 8:00 am to dusk, and no single-day sunday rentals. multi-day bookings may run straight through a sunday.
