Marco Island Marina

Marco Island Marina anchors the north end of the Ten Thousand Islands mangrove archipelago that forms Everglades National Park's western boundary — 156 slips, 75-ft vessel-length cap, and the staging marina for back-country wilderness paddle trips into Chokoloskee Bay and the Wilderness Waterway. The marina holds year-round fuel and pumpout and a dedicated charter-fleet dock for the kayak and skiff outfitters that work the western Everglades. Channel depth runs 8 ft at the marina basin and 6 ft through the Caxambas Pass entrance — vessel draft above 5 ft requires a high-tide entry. The marina lot prohibits RV parking. Closest RV-friendly basecamp is Outdoor Resorts of Chokoloskee 22 miles southeast on the FL-92 / US-41 / SR-29 routing (50-amp, 45-ft rig cap, on Chokoloskee Island just outside the Everglades NP boundary) — the most southwestern developed RV park in the lower 48.
