The Tarpon Capital Does Not Have A Mechanic On The Island. We Come Over The Causeway.

Boca Grande boats work hard for a few months a year. Tarpon season at the Pass, the run out to Cayo Costa and Useppa, the slow days on the bayou. The rest of the year many of them sit on a lift behind a house while the owner is up north. There is no repair shop on the island, and trailering a boat over the causeway to a shop on the mainland is a day lost. We bring the shop to the boat: the full annual service with parts in hand, the no-start before the first trip of the season, the electrical fault that has been nagging since last spring. One visit, one number, done at the dock.

Where We Go On Boca Grande And Around It

Lifts and docks along the Boca Grande Bayou and the canal streets of the island. Slips at Boca Grande Marina, Uncle Henry’s Marina at the north end, and Whidden’s. On the mainland side of the causeway, Gasparilla Marina, Eldred’s, and the docks of Placida and Cape Haze. Boats that stage for Useppa Island, Cabbage Key, and Cayo Costa get serviced here before they go. If the boat lives on Useppa or Cabbage Key, we meet it at Pineland, Bokeelia, or Boca Grande Marina.

Gated dock or marina rules? We carry a $2 million liability policy and send a certificate of insurance to your marina, HOA, or property manager the same day it is requested. Send us the requirements ahead of time and it is handled.

Boca Grande Questions, Answered Straight

Do you really come over the causeway to Boca Grande?

Yes. Gasparilla Island is inside our regular coverage, and the causeway toll is on us. Call or text (239) 834-8532 with what the boat is doing and you get a straight arrival window before you commit to anything.

I am only on the island for the season. Can you service the boat before I arrive?

Yes. Send the year, make, engine model and serial number, and the name of the marina or the lift address. We do the annual service while you are still up north, send photos and the written report, and the boat is ready the day you land. Dock Care covers the months in between.

My boat sits on Useppa or Cabbage Key. Can you get to it?

We cannot drive to a bridgeless island, so we meet the boat at a dock we can reach: Pineland, Bokeelia, Boca Grande Marina, or Gasparilla Marina. Most owners run it over on a calm morning and we are waiting at the dock with the parts.

Can you have the boat ready for tarpon season?

That is the point of the annual service. Impeller, thermostats, plugs, filters, gear oil, anodes and a full electrical check before the first run to the Pass, with parts in hand so it is done in one visit. Text the serial number and we quote it.
