OXBOW

Oxbow Fort Myers is a full-service restaurant, private events, retail and rentals destination with panoramic riverfront views... This is a story about resurrection. Or redemption. Or maybe a little bit of both!... In 1997, the City of Fort Myers pursued a dream to establish a fast speed ferry service to Key West. Partnerships, blueprints, leases, timetables and development ensued. Deals involved an operator out of Argentina to a boatyard in New York. In 1999, an impressive $1.6 million ferry terminal made its debut on the banks of the Caloosahatchee. $20,000 was set aside for the party that would herald the official start date of service… which never came.
