Island Time is just a short boat ride away!
All charters leave from Pine Island, FL. Pine Island is separated in half and the South end is St. James City and the North End is Bokeelia.
There are three main charter services that run from Pine Island. Island Girl Charters, Boats and Fun and The North Captiva Island Club, although Shally’s does not recommend using The North Captiva Island Club ferry.
The most popular option and our recommended service provider is Island Girl Charters.
