Round-trip cruise, island time
Set out with United States Coast Guard-certified captains who bring local knowledge of the waterways, wildlife and weather to your day cruise. Family-owned and operated since 1986, Captiva Cruises offers a personal perspective on the waters around Captiva.
Captiva Cruises has teamed up with The Island Club at North Captiva to offer a one-of-a-kind cruise to North Captiva, a secluded barrier island only accessible by boat. Departing from McCarthy’s Marina on Captiva Island, passengers will embark on a short 30-minute cruise where they will learn about the history of Pine Island Sound and watch for dolphin, manatee, and native birds. Upon arrival at North Captiva, guests will have five hours to experience tranquil, unspoiled white-sand beaches, lush hiking trails and a lively pool and pool bar atmosphere.
Cancellations within 24 hours of departure are non-refundable and non-transferable. No compensation is provided for no-shows or late arrivals. If the operator cancels your cruise, you'll receive a full refund, including all booking fees.

We took the Cabbage Key lunch cruise. Fantastic. The Captain and first mate were great, mixing humor with a very informative narrative. Highly recommended
