Fishing

Your Next

Legendary Catch

Chase new adventures in Captiva Island’s storied waters. Shallow coastlines, a lack of large reefs, translucent waters, and dozens of species of fish make Captiva Island and nearby Sanibel perennially popular angling destinations. Match your fishing excursion with your interests and skill level, either chasing elusive catches offshore, enjoying the calm of back bay fishing, or simply casting a line from the beach at sunset.

Cast Your Line

A rewarding multigenerational activity, fishing on Captiva Island is always engaging, and as challenging as you would like to make it. Beginners or advanced anglers have access to the bountiful waters around the island where you can find redfish, snook, spotted seatrout, and tarpon inshore, and grouper, snapper, cobia, and amberjack offshore. The thrill of reeling in your catch is matched only by the serene beauty of the island's pristine waters.
