One Causeway, One Road. Your Boat Should Stay On The Island.

Sanibel and Captiva hang off the mainland by a single toll causeway, and past Sanibel there is one road up to Captiva. The east-end canal neighborhoods, Shell Harbor, Sanibel Isles, and Sanibel Estates, were dug so the boat could live behind the house, and the marinas — Sanibel Marina, ’Tween Waters, Jensen’s and McCarthy’s on Captiva, South Seas, and Port Sanibel at Punta Rassa — hold the rest. You don’t take the boat anywhere. We bring the shop to it.

Where We Go On Sanibel & Captiva

Canal docks and lifts in Shell Harbor, Sanibel Isles, and Sanibel Estates on Sanibel’s east end. Slips at Sanibel Marina. On Captiva, Jensen’s Twin Palm Marina, McCarthy’s, ’Tween Waters Marina, and the South Seas marinas. Port Sanibel Marina at Punta Rassa on the mainland side of the causeway, and on down to Fort Myers Beach and across to St. James City. Boats that run Blind Pass on a high tide and boats that go out the deep way through Redfish Pass. If it sits on either island, we come to it.

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.

Away For The Season? Dock Care Keeps The Boat Ready.

One visit a month at your lift or dock on Sanibel or Captiva: we run the engines, flush them, keep the batteries up, drain the fuel bowl, check the bilge, the lights and the electronics, look over the lower unit and the anodes, and send you the photos the same day — wherever you are.

Sanibel & Captiva Questions, Answered Straight

How fast can you get out to Sanibel or Captiva?

The causeway and the one road up to Captiva mean we schedule island visits rather than promising same-hour. Call or text (239) 834-8532 with what the boat is doing and you get a straight window before you commit to anything.

Do you charge extra for the causeway toll?

No. The toll is on us. You pay the same published rates as anywhere else in Southwest Florida.

How much is the full annual outboard service on the island?

It is priced by your engine, not by a menu: any Yamaha or Mercury, parts included, full-synthetic oil as standard. Text us the engine's serial number, or a photo of the serial plate, and you get the exact price in writing before we come. Twins and triples are priced per engine.

Can you do the annual service on my lift?

Yes. On the lift, at the slip, on a trailer in the driveway, or at the marina. The only thing we need is the boat where it sits and a way to reach it.

I'm only on the island part of the year. Can you service the boat while I'm away?

Yes. Many island boats sit from spring to Thanksgiving. We service the engine before you come back, text you the photos and the report, and the boat is ready the day you land. For the months you are away, Dock Care, a monthly run, flush and check with a photo report, keeps it ready.

My boat is on a canal dock behind my house. Can you work there?

Yes. Canal docks and lifts in Shell Harbor, Sanibel Isles, and the other east-end neighborhoods are exactly what our mobile setup is built for. Wherever the boat sits, we come to it.

South Seas is gated. Can you still get to my slip?

Yes. Tell us the gate procedure when you book. If the resort, marina, or HOA wants a certificate of insurance on file, we carry $2 million in liability coverage and send the COI the same day it is requested.

What does a repair visit cost?

A diagnostic visit is $250: we come to the boat, find the problem, and fix it on the spot if we can, with a quote before anything bigger starts. After-hours and emergency call-outs (4pm to 6am, Sundays, and holidays) are $295 and include the first hour on the boat.

What brands and engines do you work on?

Yamaha, Mercury (Verado and Racing included), and Suzuki outboards, plus Cummins marine diesel. Marine electrical, batteries, rewiring, and Garmin installs on any brand.
