Port Sanibel Marina, A hub for all things boat- and watersports-related just off-island, celebrated its ongoing comeback this week with a SanCap Chamber ribbon-cutting at its new boat barn. The marina opened its docks and ramp to government agencies and their subcontractors immediately after Hurricane Ian passed but could not open to the public until Jan. 15, 2023. By that point, the marina, which had been without power for months, was able to clean up the mess Ian left. In the meantime, it provided dockage, services and full use of the marina starting the day after the hurricane. It ran logistics, shuttled people, workers and supplies and provided fuel for emergency services providers at no cost. The marina complex has been built back with more wind resistance, and the new boat barn opened in December for 145 boats up to 40 feet. The marina currently has 99 wet slips and 135 dry slips, with the additional 145 dry slips still under construction. The complex also offers boat and paddlecraft rentals, charters and excursions.
