Captiva Island is only a short boat ride away

One of the best kept secrets of St. James city, FL is that Captiva and Sanibel are only a short boat ride away. We rented a deck boat from Monroe Marina and enjoyed a great day. The first leg of the trip was was blind pass and a nice slow ride through the mangroves and checked out the beautiful properties on Captiva. We continued to redfish pass and enjoyed the tranquility of a beach that is only accessible by boat. We fished the day on Sanibel with cocktails and a wonderful lunch at Grandma's Dot's.
