We had a great time. I used a 40 foot boat. I did not launch this from the house but boated from Fort Myers. I would not suggest anything over 34 foot in the future. The canal is around 33 feet wide. It is not that it can’t be done, but that they will have to really watch the tides. Below is a picture you can include in your rental ad for boaters, I marked the cut coordinates to get in the channel. The markers in the water are only two small PVC pipes. It should help you rent to more boaters in the future. Once in the CUT they need to stay close to shore, you can kind of see the canal from the satellite view. Experienced Boater
