Fort Myers Marina Reopens, Drawing Boaters from Cape Coral
What happened
Legacy Harbour Marina in Fort Myers has reopened after years of rebuilding following damage from Hurricane Ian in 2022. The marina, which has 131 boat slips, is already welcoming boaters, including those who drive from Cape Coral. Staff at the marina stated that the destruction caused by the hurricane was total.

Why it matters
The marina staff noted that the facility brings a significant amount of income to downtown Fort Myers. Previously, local restaurants reported being down 30 percent in revenue after three downtown marinas were destroyed.
Local business markets in the area are currently competitive, and a yacht club property abuts the Caloosahatchee River.
