Many marina owners know they can generate a modest income stream through daily personal watercraft (PWC) launch fees. More are discovering the real money is in drystack storage.
An all-electric PWC Launcher from CAPRIA S.A. is easy to add to any small, unused portion of waterfront—whether it’s a steep embankment, concrete seawall or secondstory structure. The opportunity to increase customer satisfaction and owner revenue is now in place.
Perfect for incorporating into a new or existing drystack operation, CAPRIA PWC Launchers are CE-marked and built to ISO 9001 standards. They’re manufactured to accommodate virtually any location. Vertical travel can reach up to 100’ with angles between 20° and 90°. This makes the machinery especially practical for marinas with extreme tidal fluctuations.
Operationally, it’s no different from a standard drystack business. Owners contact the marina
to book a pickup time. PWCs up to 1,500 lbs. are loaded onto the PWC Launchers using a CAPRIA semi-automated Stacker Crane or forklift. Then, it’s a mere five to 15 seconds until it’s in the water.
CAPRIA S.A. has manufactured precision heavy machinery for over 50 years, including marine systems for over 20 years. With lowcost drystack installations around the world, it has a proven record of solidly improving profits for its customers.

When Category 5 Hurricane Ian tore through Fort Myers, Florida, in September of 2022, it destroyed numerous marinas, including Pink Shell Beach Resort & Marina. The first in the area to begin rebuilding, the resort’s bayside docks are back in operation and better than ever, with a state-of-the-art Golden Marine Systems floating aluminumdock array.
Ian’s 19’ storm surge damaged the first and second floors of thePink Shellhotel but didn’t affect the building’s overall structural integrity. Resort owner Boykin Management Co.quickly turned the facility intoemergency housing for relief workers, contractors and displaced residents. Oncehotel remediation was underway, the focus quickly turned to rebuilding the obliterated marina.
Certified by DQS Inc. to ISO 9001:2015 standards, Golden’s Fort Myers production facility suffered damage but was able to quickly begin building the replacement docks. “Special thanks goes to Mike Shanley and the Golden production crew for their dedication, which facilitated the transformation of our space into a fully operational marina within 14 months, just in time for the season,” said David O’Connor, Pink Shell Marina dock master. “Their commitment to our project was much appreciated.”
Golden 850 Series Single Track System and Golden 100 Series Commercial Gangways are built of 6061-T6 aluminum for exceptional strength and longevity.Integrated E-Tracks now allow Pink Shell Marina to easily add and move cleats as needed for specific vessels. Flexi-Block connectors
virtually eliminate noise as dock sections flex and roll from waves and wakes.
Only five of the 33 internal piles needed to be replaced, meaning new dock sections needed to be very precisely manufactured to fit the existing piles. A longtime Golden dealer, RJ Gorman Marine Construction, installed the main dock and 13 fingers. “Golden did an outstanding job of fabricating the new docks to fit around the undamaged piles,” said co-owner Jared Gorman. “The installation went perfectly.” Endeck composite decking, 12” Golden adjustable cleats, and new 30-, 50- and 100-amp power pedestals completed the rebuild.
Award-winning Pink Shell Beach Resort & Marina is a full-service, 12-acre beachside destination resort. It offers studio, single- and twobedroom accommodations, each with guaranteed beach views.The resort offers its guests a spa, fitness center, three pools and two restaurants. Its website is www.pinkshell.com.

You’ve got your boat bag packed, you’re covered in sunscreen, and you’re making your way to the marina. Before you head out to enjoy a day on the water, remember that boating safety must come first.
By prioritizing marina safety, you can feel confident as a responsible captain of a fun day on the water. In this post, we’ll explain the importance of following these marina safety tips.
12 Safety Tips to Follow at Boat Marinas
1. Wear Your Life Jacket
Remember to wear your life jacket or personal flotation device (PFD) when stepping onto the dock or near the water. Life jackets can be life savers during an accidental fall into the water. Before heading out, ensure everyone has a clean, properly fitting life jacket that meets safety regulations.
2. Watch Your Step: Mind Slippery Surfaces
Boat docks and decks seem stable but can easily get slippery, especially when wet. Be cautious when walking on docks and decks, and encourage children to walk slowly.
Wear appropriate non-slip shoes with good traction and consider using non-slip mats and treatments to enhance safety on slippery surfaces.
3. Respect No-Wake Zones
Take a slow, no-wake speed when cruising within your marina and other no-wake zones. Nowake zones are designated to protect swimmers, small boats, docks, and the shore from excessive wake turbulence – keeping everyone safe.
Also, take it slow in crowded or tight areas to minimize the risk of accidents due to your boat’s wake.
4. Watch for Other Boats and Pedestrians
Staying aware of other boats and people is always critical when boating. Keep watch for other boats, kayakers, paddleboarders, and people on the docks. Use hand signals or signaling devices to communicate with others when necessary, taking extra care in crowded areas.
Looking out for fellow boaters is just one among the numerous responsibilities that boat captains must manage. Watch the video below to learn more about boat captain’s duties.
5. Understand the Marina’s Layout
Familiarize yourself with the marina layout and take note of emergency equipment locations, fire extinguishers, and first aid stations. Knowledge of these safety essentials can make a difference in an emergency.
6. Obey Posted Rules and Regulations
Pay attention to all posted signs, speed limits, and other regulations within the marina. The rules are intended to keep everyone safe and must be taken seriously.
Failure to follow marina etiquette and regulations can create dangerous situations and have your access revoked.
7. Secure Your Boat Properly
Properly tie your boat to the dock using the appropriate lines and fenders. A securely
anchored boat prevents damage to your boat and other boats nearby. An unsecured boat is dangerous and can be a costly mistake.
8. Shore Power Connections
Safety must be the top priority when using shore power. Ensure proper electrical connections and grounding to avoid electrical hazards. Regularly inspect electrical equipment to ensure safe operation, and do not use any unsafe electrical equipment.
9. Maintain Water Evacuation Systems
Ensuring proper water evacuation systems and the correct functioning of bilge pumps is a critical aspect of boat maintenance and safety.
Water can enter a boat from just about everywhere, from leaks, waves, and even rain. Having reliable systems in place is essential to keep your boat dry and stable. Regularly inspect and test your boat’s bilge pump to ensure it’s in good working condition.
10. Avoid Swimming in the Marina
Swimming in the marina area is dangerous due to boat traffic, electrical shock, and submerged hazards – not to mention that the water may be contaminated with oils and other fluids from the nearby boats.
Always use designated swimming areas away from boats and keep a watchful eye on children near the water.
11. Keep the Marina Clean
You are responsible for disposing of all trash while on the water. Take everything you brought
with you and dispose of waste in designated bins. Keeping the space safe and clean benefits everyone, including marine life.
12. Follow Fuel Safety Guidelines Adhering to safe fueling practices at the marina protects you, your boat, and the environment:
• Before fueling, turn off all engines, generators, and electrical equipment on board.
• Ensure proper ventilation of the boat’s fuel compartment before and during fueling.
• Keep a fire extinguisher nearby in case of a fuel spill or fire.
• Never smoke on board while fueling.
• Properly ground the boat to avoid static electricity buildup.
• Use a fuel spill containment pad or absorbent material to catch accidental spills.
• Fill the fuel tank slowly and prevent overfilling.
• Avoid misfueling.
• Clean up spills immediately using absorbent pads.
• Use the correct fuel for your boat.
• Regularly inspect fuel lines and connections for signs of wear, damage, or leaks.
• Be cautious with portable fuel containers.
Conclusion: Follow These Boat Marina Safety Tips
By following these marina safety tips, you’ll hit the waters confidently, knowing you have taken every precaution to protect yourself and fellow boaters. Whether you’re a seasoned boater or a first-time captain, staying vigilant and prepared for any situation is the key to a successful outing on the water.

A VESSEL SAFETY CHECK - STUART - Despite numerous COVID-19 restrictions, more and more boaters are taking to the water to alleviate at-home boredom while taking advantage of the open-air benefits and more pandemicfree aspects of recreational boating. But if you haven’t been out boating in a while, are your vessel’s lights operating properly? Do you have a sufficient number of life jackets for the number of passengers aboard? Is your engine’s ventilation system up to par? To get you started on a new year boating adventure, now may be a perfect time to consider getting a 2022 Vessel Safety Check (VSC) offered by certified VSC examiners from the St. Lucie River Power Squadron, also known as America’s Boating Club of Martin County. These trained VSC examiners from the local squadron will point out safety features such as minimum requirements required by the U.S. Coast Guard, examine fundamental mechanical aspects of your vessel, and answer questions how you can have more fun safely on the water. These are just a few of the many discussion points covered in this voluntary examination. As an added plus, Vessel Safety Checks are free to boat owners. And if you don’t “pass muster” with the thorough examination, the summary report is yours and yours alone. No record of any possible deficiencies will be reported to the USCG, state agency or any other authority. Want to know more about this complimentary Vessel Safety Check program? Contact Peter Burns at (772) 486-2684 or burnspet@aol.com. St. Lucie River Power Squadron, one of more than 300 squadrons nationwide, also offers safe boating classes to the public. Check on their website, www.slrps.org, when classes will resume. Information about the parent organization is available at www.usps.org.
BUSY, CLASSES DON’T FIT YOUR TIMETABLE? THEN ADJUST OUR SCHEDULE We understand BUSY. The Banana River Sail and Power Squadron teaches a large number of classes. They are regularly scheduled throughout the year. Sometimes your schedule and our schedule do not match. Rather than have you miss a class offering we will schedule and teach any of the classes listed below whenever five (5) or more students make a request for a class. To make a class request, please call 321-220-7776 or email hofmanneg@juno.com for more information or to request a class. LIST OF COURSES: BASIC BOATING: America’s Boating Course 3rd Edition.

- A Vessel Safety Check is a complimentary check of your boat conducted by members of the Auxiliary, confirming that it meets both federal and state requirements for safety. No citations are issued, and the results of the safety check are not reported to any enforcement agency, but a decal is awarded to display when the vessel has passed the examination. The Vessel Safety Check (VSC) is performed at your boat, whether in a slip, at the launch ramp, or in your driveway, by a certified Vessel Examiner, at a mutually-convenient time. It usually takes 20-45 minutes, depending on the size of your boat. After successful inspection you are awarded a vessel safety check sticker which is affixed to your vessel near your state registration sticker. Call 727-898-1324 to find an inspector or go to www.cgaux.org/vsc/. Boating skills and Seamanship Programs ae presented by the USCG Auxiliary, Flotilla 72 each Tuesday night, 7:309:30 pm, 1300 Beach Drive, SE, St. Petersburg. Call 727-898-1324 for information or to go http://flotilla72registration.info to pre-register. Completion satisfies the state of Florida boater safety education requirement.
FLORIDA BOATER’S ID CARD - Don’t forget that “Anyone born on or after January 1, 1988 is required to either have successfully completed a National Association of State Boating Law Administrators (NASBLA) approved boating education course or have passed a course equivalency or temporary certificate examination and have in their possession a boating education ID card and a photo identification card before operating a vessel with a motor of 10 HP or more in Florida.” Identification cards for persons completing the course or the equivalency exam are good for a lifetime.

Guests aboard our fishing charters have been experiencing great fishing and great weather the last few weeks overall. We are still having a cold front every week or two come through and stir things up but we are getting into summer time slowly as the month of May approaches.
Summer is a great season to fish Tampa Bay and the beaches of Anna Maria Island. We mainly are targeting snook, seatrout, redfish, tarpon, mangrove snapper, and Spanish mackerel. Summer time also is good action for shark fishing. The predominant species of sharks that we encounter are blacktip, sandbar, and lemon sharks.
The last 3 weeks the king mackerel have been a good fish to target on our fishing charters when the weather allows get out into the Gulf of Mexico. Just a couple miles off the beaches of Anna Maria Island at some of the artificial reefs and sunken boat wrecks we are able to target the king
mackerel “kingfish”. Along with the kingfish we are seeing good numbers of Spanish mackerel, bonita, and some cobias and sharks. This provides great action and all of these fish put up an awesome battle on light tackle for our guests aboard our fishing charters. As the water temperature continues to warm the kingfish will push north out of our region and we will start to focus more on the mangrove snappers and the elusive permit in the Gulf of Mexico.
Tarpon have shown up in good numbers and the migratory fish should be here any day now as we are on the backside of a full moon coming in to the month of May. There are fish in Tampa Bay that have been cooperative for some anglers but the last week or so with gin clear water and being around a full moon made for some very tough fishing. Once the migratory fish are here in full force is when fishing along the beaches will become effective and one of the coolest ways to fish for them.
The snook fishing is getting better by the day as the fish make their way to their summertime haunts out at the beaches and major passes adjacent to the beaches. Snook spawn mainly during
the summertime so the season is closed May, June, July, and August. We practice catch and release when targeting these fish in the summertime, they put up a great fight and there is a great chance for a trophy sized snook that can reach upwards of 40” long and 15-20+ lbs. mangrove snapper will start to be a good target in the next few weeks and through the entire summer with warmer water temperatures for some good table fare for a meal or two.
If you are looking for a family friendly fun for any age fishing charter give me a call or text 813-220-8725. This is a great activity for summer vacation with the family to make some great memories. I am based in Bradenton/Anna Maria Island area, just a short drive from Siesta Key and St Pete Beach.

Now that the sun climbs higher and the days have grown longer, the waters of west central Florida have warmed to the upper 70s, signaling a resurgence of activity among the region’s prized game fish. Cold fronts have remained a persistent feature, injecting variability into the fishing equation. However, their spacing has allowed for a gradual rise in water temperatures, now hovering comfortably in the 70s. This subtle but significant change has set the stage for a flurry of activity among our targeted species.
April and May herald the migration of snook from their deep, temperaturestable hideouts to shallower waters, foreshadowing their summer haunts. This transition has presented ample opportunities for anglers as these prized gamefish venture closer to the shorelines and estuaries. Whether prowling the mangrove edges or lurking around structure, snook have been receptive to well-placed presentations.
The use of large Enrico Puglisi flies is a favored tactic for targeting snook, especially in the spring. Additionally, large soft plastics are
a formidable option, especially on cloudy or windy days.
Redfish have proven to be particularly showing a keen appetite for offerings imitating shrimp, especially around the full moons. During new and full moon phases, we experience negative low tides during the winter and into the spring. These extreme low tides compel redfish to seek refuge in deeper waters, where they congregate in anticipation of the changing tide.As the water levels drop, redfish may become more elusive, staging in deeper channels, holes, and along drop-offs. Morning low tides provide the best opportunity to sight fish and as the water floods into shallower areas, redfish may become more active, and astute anglers may catch them tailing as they feed along the edges of flats and grassy areas.
The full moon in March signaled the commencement of the spotted seatrout spawning season, marking a significant event in the angling calendar. While the peak of the spawn has passed, residual activity continues
to provide opportunities for eager anglers. Focusing on grassy flats, sandy drop-offs, and channels has proven effective in locating schools of speckled trout. Clouser minnows are a top choice among fly enthusiasts, while soft plastic jerk baits rigged on quarter or eighth ounce jig heads have proven irresistible for light tackle anglers.

Spring bass fishing on Lake Toho here in Central Florida is one of the most productive times for catching good numbers of bass as well as the trophy bass of a lifetime. The reliability of bass fishing on Lake Toho at this time of year is due mainly to the weather becoming very stable and in turn the bass fishing is also very stable and productive at this time of year.
AJ’s Bass Guides has been in operation since 1970 and holds the lake record of 16 pounds 10 ounces which was caught by Ed Chancy the founder of AJ’s Bass Guides in the month of May in 1977 on a black grape paddle tail plastic worm. Captain Jamie Jackson caught the second largest bass out of Lake Toho weighing 15 pounds 8 ounces also in the month of May in 1987 on a rattletrap during the 1987 drawdown.
Florida bass fishing in the spring is the best time of year for catching big bass on large golden wild shiners as well
as artificial lures. If it is artificial lures that you are interested in, springtime is what we consider the best time of year for fishing artificials on Lake Toho. It is not uncommon to catch a 5 bass limit weighing over 30 pounds on artificials at this time of year.
2023 was one of the best years that we have seen for catching trophysized Lake Toho Florida bass in a very long time. As we move into the spring months this year, this type of fishing will continue and the outlook for this spring may be the best that we have seen yet for catching a Lake Toho trophy.
Also 2023 was one of the busiest years that we have ever experienced in the 53 years that we have been in operation and we anticipate 2024 to be just as busy! Even though we have 9 fulltime captains working for us, we recommend reserving your date as early as possible while we still have one of our professional full-time
Happy Mothers Day! May offers great fishing for the Jupiter and Palm beach area. Local waters are teaming with a plethora of species, anglers can expect plenty of rod bending action.
Snook fishing heats up, snook start to migrate to local passes and beaches for up coming spawn. The snook can be seen cruising near sea walls and docks in search of food. Live baits and DOA C.A.L. 3” shad tail on a 1/8 ounce jig head casted in there vicinity will get your drag screaming. Bait schools will be in our local area and this is the time for top water action. Rapala skitter walks worked over open flats and near heavy structure causes for some explosive action. If you have never experienced top water action for snook, I recommend you try there is nothing like it. The snook will range in size from 5 to 20 pounds. Tarpon “silver king” a great target for anglers looking for explosive strikes and acrobatic jumps. Tarpon can be found in the ICW, local inlets and beaches. Live baits like mullet or pinfish work great. Artificial baits like the DOA Terror Eyz and DOA C.A.L. 3” shad tail in Pearl and melon back will get the drag screaming.
The inshore waters will also be teaming with jacks, sharks, ladyfish, snapper, and many
other species, putting a bend in the rod. Live bait, freelined with the tide or Rapala x wrap will get the strike.
April has come to an end, but with it, it brought warm weather, moderate winds, clean water near inlets and drag screaming action.
Snook fishing has been great along docks and seawalls mangrove shorelines as well. Channels and bridges are starting to hold snook as they school up getting ready for summertime patterns and spawning. Live bait, DOA terror eyz and rapala x raps, have been the bait of choice.
Jack crevalle have been abundant throughout the inter coastal and back bays. Schooling fish are crashing bait schools along docks and sea walls. Deep holes and troughs are holding fish as well. Live baits freelined with the tide produce strikes. Top water Rapala skitter walks get the jacks happy as well.
When tides are right deep holes and docks hold a mix bag of species. Black drum snapper, snook, jacks, mackerel and many other species struke DOA C.A.L. 3” shad tail and shrimp worked near the bottom. Clean water provides
better bite, so watching wind direction and water run off is key to success. Well that is the fishing report for the last week hope you all enjoyed. Remember you can’t catch them from the couch, so get out there and get hooked up. Tight Lines! PhlatsInshoreFishing.com visit us on Facebook, Instagram, X, Pinterest and YouTube.
