A sailing buddy and I are taking our wives to Marco Island FL March 14-21, 08. I guess I can always rent a Getaway, but I am hoping for something hotter. We have our own PFDs, wetsuits and harnesses. Please advise...

Marco Island SUCKS!!!!!!! Went there for a week... hardly any beach access unless you are staying right on the water. 2 beaches for public access, one of which you have to literally wade through a swamp (tiger tail beach) to get to the gulf beach. Very privatized beaches with lots of no tresspassing areas! If there is any way to avoid going there, DO IT!!!!

Staying on the water... was told to go toward Naples and look for masts. I was hoping a local would take me out or rent me their cat. I can always knock on doors.
