We are leaving Longboat Key the 9th of June and heading for Key West. Looking for some marina recommendations. Thinking about stopping the first night somewhere around Captiva or Sanibel, and then Marco Island will be the next stop. The wife will be on the boat for the first time, so I don't want the days underway to be too long. She likes nice marinas with good showers, fun restaurants, beaches if possible, and some nightlife. Our reservations in the Keys are not until the 15th, so we have some time to linger/wait for weather.
Depending on how she feels, we will decide at Marco either to cut straight across to Key West or head to the Shark River area then Marathon then Key West. Since we have some time I think I would rather linger along the coast and explore as we head towards Marathon.
Any ideas? We chartered a boat years ago and cruised the Pine Island Sound and I remember it being really pretty, but I can't really remember any marinas. I think we stayed at Tween Waters one night.
