March are booking up fast!  You'll save $ by booking an efficiency

We are located directly on beautiful Charlotte Harbor! Our waterfront resort features not only wide open views of Charlotte Harbor and spectacular sunsets, but also all of the fun, relaxation, and charm that you would expect from your perfect getaway retreat.
 
If you're a fisherman, sign up for one of our Snook, Redfish, Tarpon, Shark, Snapper or Trout tournaments--call for dates. All tournaments begin and end at Banana Bay's Dock.  

Airplane tours of the Peace River, Myakka River, Charlotte Harbor and along the shoreline of the Gulf of Mexico, are available for booking.  These tours of either 1/2 hour or 1 hour provide a wonderful picture-taking experience that is simply unbelievable! We offer Kayak rental for our guests to tour the shoreline of Charlotte Harbor as well as the beauty of the Peace River. Guided fishing tours are available on a 1/2 and full day basis for Peace River and Harbor fishing.  Night Shark fishing tours are also available with all tours leaving and returning to Banana Bay's Dock. Your catch of the day will be prepared for your culinary delight by Captain Mike and his staff.

We believe you'll be very happy here, but don't take our word for it!  Go to tripadvisor.com and type in "Banana Bay Waterfront Motel Port Charlotte".  You'll find a bunch of honest evaluations to help you make your decision!  Hope to see you soon!


Our rates are low!  Why?  Because although we are waterfront and in a perfect location for tons of fun, we are not on the beach which commands a much higher price.  You can drive to the beach in 45 minutes
