Great marina with friendly staff and lots of onsite parking. Most boats leave from this marina for the various tours in Captiva including the Sea Shell Shelling tours, Cabbage Keys Island and many others.
The boats are all nice, clean and the crews friendly and knowledgeable, definitely worth a half or full day trip to check out the various islands in the area. They are all very reasonably priced, as well.

I am temporarily using a walker so my experience was a bit different.
The 2-man crew helped my husband with getting me onto the boat from the dock- easy w/their hands and strong arms.
The ride was smooth, also important for people with medical conditions. We saw some dolphins on the way back.
Upon arrival at Cayo Costa, the crew again helped me navigate steps onto the dock. The boardwalk went approx 2/3 of the way to the actual beach. The path was loose sand, but the walker worked.
One of the crew goes to the beach with the guests in case of emergency.
The beach experience is what we make

Wow! These guys were awesome! We did a half day trip to Cayo Costa the boat ride out we listened to music and had the opportunity to see some dolphins! We were starstruck riding out to the island with a shark wrestler who was in Shark Tank. It was amazing!! We found a bunch of large shells and sand dollars. Such a great experience. Much love from Kentucky!!!
