The vessel is docked on the very private, unusually wide, canal behind our home with incredible unobstructed sunset views. Sound carries across the water as though you're standing next to someone, so it is absolutely imperative that you are respectful of our neighbors or you will be asked to leave after one warning.

One vehicle can be parked in the driveway. There is a gate to walk across the grass to the docks.

You are welcome to fish in the canal from the boat or the dock. There's a community park across the canal from us with direct access to the river. Be sure to check into a Florida visitor fishing license.

Speaks English and Spanish
Inclusive Adventures is a 501(c)3 Non-profit providing life-changing inclusive experiences for the disabled. Experiences that stimulate a fundamental shift in perspective from programmed, vulnerable dependency to a perspective of capability, confidence, possibility, and self-determination. Participants develop confidence in their capabilities and a perspective of possibility. Why would anyone try to achieve an education or contribute their talents through employment if they believe their only prospect is to sit in front of a television trapped in a nursing home or even their own home. We all need to believe in future possibilities worth striving to achieve. Quadriplegic Electrical Engineer (EE), Patented Inventor, Masters of Business Administration (MBA). Executive Director Mark is currently completing certification as a coast guard captain. He has designed all the modifications to make Possibilities 100% Inclusive and accessible for full participation such as even driving the vessel with head control only! Mark is a licensed private pilot and broke his neck crash landing a small two seat modern carbon aircraft in the trees of the Minnesota River valley due to engine failure immediately after takeoff in 2003. In the past 17 years he has designed hundreds of products to empower through greater Independence those who have limited or no use of their hands and arms. He's worked with the veterans administration putting our young folks coming back with significant injuries from Iraq and Afghanistan back to work in school. As a disabled man in a wheelchair, Mark has traveled and spoke around the world including India's golden triangle, Honduras, Colombia, México. Mark speaks Spanish fluently and is native farm boy from central Minnesota. Karla is a systems engineer with experience in Mexico's oil industry as a native of Veracruz, Mexico. She is the heart and soul that makes each guest stay exceptional. She is an artist in the galley and is passionate about her two cats, Romeow and We-ne, also natives of Veracruz, MX that stay on board with us.
