We’re so grateful to share that our place made it through Hurricane Milton with minimal damage! A huge thank you to our incredible team for their hard work in prepping the building, boats, and golf carts, and safely removing the lithium batteries from the entire fleet to avoid fire hazards during the storm surge.

We’re busy getting everything back on the island and ready for your next visit!

Here’s what’s happening now:
🌴 Our island store is open!
🚤 Private Water Taxi service is running 24/7!
🛺 Golf cart rentals will resume once the roads are clear!
🛒 Our online store is open, and we can ship a little piece of North Captiva right to your doorstep!
🛠️ Golf Cart Sales & Parts: We’re now offering custom-built golf carts and parts for homeowners, so you can get your house back in shape!

For those whose trips were canceled due to the storm, we’re waiving all cancellation fees and hope you can make it back soon!

Homeowners: If you need a replacement golf cart, give us a call or check out our price sheet online: https://www.boatsandfun.com/golfcartsales

Hurricane Helene Update from Boats and Fun

We’re happy to announce that despite some flooding, we’ve cleaned up and our store on North Captiva is back open 7 days a week, from 9 AM to 5 PM! You can make reservations for your next trip online or by phone.

We’re also relieved to report that our entire boat and golf cart fleet were spared by the flooding! 🛺 However, there is still standing water on the island, but with dry weather, we’re optimistic that conditions will improve soon. We’ll keep you updated on the progress as the island recovers!

In the meantime, our online store is fully open! Visit http://shop.boatsandfun.com to bring a piece of North Captiva right to your doorstep, no matter where you are. 🌴

🌊 Let's talk manatees! 🌊

Did you know that these gentle giants are an integral part of the North Captiva Island experience? 🏝️ They add that extra bit of magic to our vacations! But to ensure their safety and well-being, we all need to play our part in protecting them. Here are some essential tips to keep in mind:

🚫 Don't offer them freshwater from hoses or bottles: While it might seem harmless, feeding manatees alters their behavior. Let's keep their wild instincts intact!

⚓ Slow down near the shore: Within 200 yards, remember to maintain idle speed. Manatees are slow movers and need time to react to oncoming boats. By slowing down, we give them a better chance to avoid collisions.

🛡️ Know the law: Manatees are not just adorable, they're also endangered. Protected by various laws, including the Marine Mammal Protection Act and the Endangered Species Act, harassing or harming them is illegal. Remember, offering them water can result in fines of up to $5,000. Let's respect their sanctuary status and give them the space they need to thrive.

Let's cherish these incredible creatures and ensure they continue to grace our shores for generations to come! 💙 🌿

🌊🚤 Making Waves of Change 🚤🌊

In the aftermath of Hurricane Ian, our community and visitors have faced challenges navigating into the island with many channel markers missing. But fear not, because the Boats and Fun Team stepped up to the challenge!

We're thrilled to announce that we've taken it upon ourselves to replace most of the missing channel markers, ensuring safer and more enjoyable journeys for everyone in and out of the island. 🙌⛵

With a passion for our community and a dedication to service, we've donated and installed new markers to help guide boats safely through the channels. It's our way of giving back and ensuring that everyone can continue to enjoy the beauty of our waterways without worry.

A huge shoutout to our incredible team for their hard work and dedication. And a big THANK YOU to our amazing customers who keep coming back, trusting us to provide them with unforgettable experiences on and off the water. Your loyalty means the world to us!

Here's to smooth sailing and endless fun on the water. Let's keep the spirit of community alive and well! 🌟

We look forward to seeing everyone back on our beautiful paradise! 🏝️🌊 - The Boats and Fun Family
