Shipping a vehicle to Pelican
Pelican is a large canal-front neighborhood in south Cape Coral, developed through the 1970s and 80s with an extensive network of Gulf-access canals reaching toward the Caloosahatchee. It's one of the bigger waterfront subdivisions in the city, with a wide range of home ages and styles from original ranches to newer custom builds on wider modern lots near the river. Del Prado Boulevard and Cape Coral Parkway both border the area, keeping it well connected despite its canal-heavy interior.
Because Pelican is large, street conditions vary block to block: newer sections near the river have wider lanes and better turning room, while older interior streets are tighter with seawall driveways and overhanging canopy. A full carrier generally handles the collector streets fine but needs the specific address checked for canal-front cul-de-sacs, which are common throughout the neighborhood. Some streets terminate directly at the water with no through-connection, so route planning matters more here than in smaller subdivisions. Drivers default to walking the vehicle in whenever the destination street is a dead-end canal block.
Where to meet the carrier in Pelican
Del Prado Boulevard or Country Club Boulevard, whichever is closer to the specific address, serves as the staging point given how spread out Pelican is. From there the driver walks the vehicle to the canal-front driveway. Because the neighborhood is large, we confirm the exact staging street with the customer at booking rather than using one fixed location.

Recommended here: Enclosed transport, soft-tie strapping, single-vehicle or top-load placement. Send us the address and the gate or cross street you use and we take it from there — vendor paperwork, arrival notice, and a driver who already knows what a 75-foot rig can and cannot do on a Cape Coral block.

- Tell us the cross street at booking — canal blocks in the Cape look identical on a map and very different from the cab of a truck.
