Captiva Island Fishing & Watersports
Captiva allows adrenaline junkies to frolic in the surf on all the requisite beach toys. Novice sailors can even enroll at the island's only sailing school. Avid anglers enjoy uncrowded stretches of fresh and salt water, along with record numbers of trout, grouper, and mackerel. Charter companies and salty fishing Captains abound, so you won't have any trouble finding a good spot to cast a line. Island-hopping cruises to nearby Boca Grande and Useppa promise more great fishing, but landlubbers never have to leave Captiva to land a prize catch.
