If you’re planning a Cape Coral vacation with SEABIM in spring or early summer 2025, please note that the Chiquita Lock is scheduled to be completely removed between April and June 2025. During this removal period, boat traffic through the lock will be impossible, preventing direct access between the canal system behind the lock and the Gulf of Mexico.

We strongly recommend checking the official City of Cape Coral website for the latest information and any schedule changes:

If you have questions about how this removal could affect your stay or you need help selecting a property that won’t be impacted, please get in touch with us at SEABIM. Our goal is to make your Cape Coral vacation as enjoyable and stress-free as possible—both on land and on the water!
