Water Taxi Services

Being 3 miles off-shore, North Captiva Island is only accessible by boat or private aircraft (unless you are a very, very good swimmer.). Your transportation to the island will be arranged through North Captiva Island Club at a discounted rate. If you prefer to arrange your own transportation, water taxis listed below are available.
Groceries
Most people either stop to get their groceries before boarding the ferry or pre-order at one of the grocery stores below. There is one small grocery store on the island for emergency items, but selection and quantity is limited (and prices are high.)
