Lake Fairview Marina Inc., Orlando

After spending her youth on the water - skiing, fishing and sailing, Cynthia realized she was in real danger of spending her adult life behind the desk at a corporate job. So, when she got the chance to re-immerse herself in the aquatic world by buying an inland marina on Lake Fairview, she jumped at it. Now, Cynthia and her crew, along with their certified instructors lead sailing experiences on a beautiful inland lake just minutes from downtown Orlando and rent a wide assortment of recreational vessels. Their rentals can accommodate visitors on pontoon boats, electric boats, kayaks, canoes and sailboats so they can navigate the lake for on-water picnics and fishing expeditions. Should renters get hooked on the experience, the staff can happily help them purchase new and used sailboats, fishing boats, runabouts, and ski boats. For land-based celebrations, their tiki hut-style gazebo, complete with a panoramic view of the lakeshore and harbor, can accommodate guests during company retreats, birthdays parties, and sunset jam sessions.
