We’ll be keeping track to see who lands the biggest fish and the most fish! These are 4-hour charters—and unlike many deep-sea expeditions, it only takes 15 minutes to reach premium-fishing waters, leaving you plenty of time to reel in a tournament-winning catch! Openings for the tournament are limited—and they will go FAST! So, be sure to register soon! Refreshments will be provided and available on the boats for you.
Everglades Airboat Adventure ($85)
Feel the excitement and learn the history of Florida’s most remarkable treasure—the Everglades. One of the rare subtropical ecosystems, the Everglades hold spectacular mysteries. Renew your spirit as you glide across miles of river at speeds up to 35 mph, and get up close and personal with native wildlife, many of which are endangered in this fragile environment. During this 60-minute tour, the boat will stop periodically as the captain tells tales of how the Seminole Indians and panthers once coexisted in this lush wilderness. An optional alligator show is available afterwards! The Reptile Exhibit and the Exotic Wildlife Exhibit feature dozens of species—both native and exotic to Florida—including panthers, wolves, and many others.

During this session, SGI President Rebecca Cassel will outline how to define your vision on paper, craft a year-by-year plan to help you achieve that vision, and then provide you with the strategies and checks & balances to help ensure you meet your plan!
Build a Business Worth Selling for Millions (Part 1)
You love everything about being in business for yourself, and you’ve worked hard to get where you are. But what does your future hold in 5, 10, or 20 years? You can’t work forever.
