How far is your house from the Gulf?
Boat time, distance, bridge clearances and speed zones from a Cape Coral address to open water and about 75 destinations. Built by Steven, because each Realtor has a different idea of where the Gulf actually is.
One address in, a real route out.
- Boat time and distance from any Southeast or Southwest Cape Coral address to about 75 places: Cabbage Key, Cayo Costa, Doc Ford's, Key West, Marker 99, Tarpon Lodge and more.
- A speed picker from 5 to 50 MPH.
- Main channels only, or shallow shortcuts.
- A route map, bridge clearances, power lines and the speed-limit zones.

Show time at a different speed
Example only: made-up numbers for a sample canal home. Your address gets its own route.
Where could you boat on a Saturday?
Distances are examples. Times recalculate with the speed you pick above.
Why the boat-time number matters
Distance is not time
Idle and no-wake zones near the canals slow the first stretch of every trip, so a short run can take longer than the miles suggest.
Bridges decide your boat
The lowest bridge on the route limits how tall your boat can be. A tower, a hardtop or a mast can be the difference between yes and no.
Two listings, two answers
Two homes a few streets apart can sit on very different routes. Check each address you are serious about.
