OUR COMMUNITY. OUR COAST.

Taking care of the place we love.

Giving back to the people and places that make our island community special—from caring for our coast to sharing meaningful days on the water.

GIVING BACK WITH LITTLE PINK HOUSES OF HOPE

A little time together.
A whole lot of hope.

Some of the most meaningful days on the water are the ones we give back. Every year, Florida Adventures and Rentals donates island experiences to Little Pink Houses of Hope retreat participants and their families.

Little Pink Houses of Hope offers free weeklong retreats for breast cancer patients and their families, creating space to relax, reconnect and enjoy time together. We’re proud to have sponsored the Marco Island retreat for the past five years and to continue supporting Little Pink Houses of Hope.

A DAY ON THE WATER

Boat rides. Island smiles. Time together.

We donate a day of free boat tours, welcoming retreat participants and their families aboard to enjoy the beauty of our island waterways. It’s an opportunity to share an adventure, make memories and simply be together.

A DAY AT THE BEACH

A new way to find your balance.

On another day, we bring the fun to the beach with paddleboarding instruction. Our team helps participants and family members learn the basics and enjoy a new experience together, with encouragement along the way.

COMMUNITY IN ACTION

An island effort, made possible together.

In 2020, we hosted our first beach cleanup. We had over 50 volunteers join our crew in cleaning up the local island beaches we run our tours around. In total we picked up over 1,380 pounds of trash from four different beach locations! Can you believe that? All our supplies were donated by Sunshine Ace Hardware and our crew. Afterwards, Snook Inn Restaurant hosted a big thank you party for all of those who participated.

HOW WE DID IT

From island beaches to the mainland.

In order to cover the most ground with our volunteers, we decided to split them up into four groups, which was about 17 people each. Three groups were shuttled out to Kice Island, Morgan Beach, and Cape Romano. Every group member was given bags and gloves, and our crew assisted each volunteer with the heavy lifting and digging of bigger pieces. The majority of the trash we found were plastics, crab rope, crab traps, and we even cleaned up a derelict vessel that was in pieces on the beach.

Once our crew picked up the piles of trash from each point, we shuttled them back to the mainland to be brought to the Naples Dump. In total we collected 1,380 pounds of trash, and we know there is still more out there.

PADDLERS MAKING A DIFFERENCE

Stewardship reaches the mangroves, too.

We had one adventurous group take out our kayaks and paddleboards over to Dickman’s Point! They were determined to get a big haul, so they divided up collecting ropes, digging up traps, tires, cans and all sorts of plastic trash. As a team they paddled and walked around the island untangling fishing line and ropes from the mangroves. Upon their return to the mainland, they were all smiles!
