QUESTION: What do you get when you blend a MARINA with a MOTEL and a RESTAURANT?

ANSWER: A FANTASTIC FLORIDA FISHING VACATION BLUEWATER: "If you can't catch them here, you can't catch them!"

BACKWATER: "We darned near filled the boat." Dine in Style, high above the mangroves. Is your boat here? One view from the restaurant deck. It is difficult to conceive of a more perfect setting for the sports fisherman to excise his skills to the limit. Right on the sundrenched Marco River. At the very gateway to the 10,000 Islands in the Gulf of Mexico. Everything you need is at hand - tackle, boats, bait, guides, fine food, bar, great accommodation and all the backwater or blue water fishing you can handle. From Tarpon to Sea Trout. From Snook to Snapper. From Reds to …

If you can't catch them here, you can't catch them! And all of this within a few minutes of everything else for which Marco Island and Naples and famous - Night Clubs, restaurants, beaches, shopping, and more golf courses than you can ever hope to play. Or maybe your wild life interlude will take you to the Everglades - Indians, airboats, swamp buggies, giant 'gators, snakes and the haunting beauty of the Sea of Grass. Of one thing we're certain. One you've vacationed at the Barge Marin Motel and Restaurant, you'll be back.
