Future tenants have the option to purchase several pieces of equipment from the marina to facilitate service operations, including a John Deere tractor, F-450, compact RAM van for parts/mobile service, a hydraulic trailer, and various other trailers.
• Rich History: Established decades ago, Sanibel Marina has a long-standing reputation as a premier boating destination. Gramma Dots, an award-winning dockside restaurant, attracts over 200,000 annual visitors by car and boat and has been a staple at the marina since 1987, contributing consistent traffic to the site.
