QUICK NOTE ABOUT THE LOCAL WATERS OF PINE ISLAND SOUND
If you wish to bring your boat to North Captiva, please know that the waters in Pine Island Sound can be very shallow with many shoals and flats. The average depth of the entire sound is 7 feet, and that includes the ICW channel that provides deep water passage for larger boats. If you have a deep draw boat (>24″) or are not comfortable navigating the skinny water you might want to visit the area first and go out with a charter or excursion cruise to see just what we’re talking about.
Please familiarize yourself with the local charts and navigational markers as the waters of Pine Island Sound are known for large shoals and flats.
