About Fish-Tale Marina
Located on the pristine Estero Bay aquatic preserve on Fort Myers Beach, Fish-Tale Marina has been creating extraordinary boating experiences since 1958. This location is one of Freedom Boat Club’s newest Southwest Florida locations (moved in April of 2021).
Fish-Tale Marina has an ideal location with easy access to the Gulf of Mexico. Recognized as a “Clean & Resilient Marina”, Fish-Tale has set the standard for protecting marine resources and promoting environmental stewardship.
Amenities within Fish-Tale Marina include shopping & dining at Santini Plaza, a fully stocked ship store (including live bait and tackle), and a waterfront restaurant (The Fish-Tale Restaurant)

Nothing but great, friendly service so far!
Absolutely an Excellent and Amazing Freedom Boat Club in the heart of all the yachts and mega yachts! We watched a FBC video of Captain Jay from FBC Ft L, going from Bhai Mar to Miami Beach Marina. Tommy was an awesome dock master and had us on the water in minutes. If you have an opportunity to use this club, it’s worth the drive!!
