Tour operators across Florida are feeling the impact of soaring boat fuel prices driven by the ongoing conflict in Iran. In Fort Myers, owners report that filling up multiple boats now costs hundreds of dollars more than before.

Despite strong demand this season, the future remains uncertain for local boating businesses as fuel costs continue to climb.
