CAPTIVA CRUISES REOPENS AFTER HURRICANES IN 2022 & 2024
WE’RE BACK!
We are thrilled to welcome new and returning guests to Captiva Cruises! After Hurricane Ian’s impact in September 2022 and impact from Hurricanes Helene and Milton in 2024, our surroundings look different, but we still have amazing history, beautiful water, incredible sunsets and unique wildlife to share with you! We graciously ask for your patience as we adjust the cruise schedule to best accommodate guests.
OUR COLLECTIVE
COMMITMENT
Safely sharing and appreciating our environment has always been at the core of our mission. While we’ve never taken our piece of paradise for granted, we have an extra special appreciation for cruising around Captiva Island after Hurricanes Ian, Helene and Milton, and we know you will too!
Please be courteous of your surroundings while visiting. Many of our neighbors are still in transition after the storm and deserve space and compassion as we all work to restore and appreciate our paradise.
LADY CHADWICK RESTORATION
Lady Chadwick weathered the storm but was damaged during Hurricane Ian. Our crew worked diligently on Lady Chadwick’s repairs and restoration and she was back in-service nearly one year after Hurricane Ian! View the WINK News, WGCU and FOX Weather stories to learn more about our journey. We look forward to welcoming you aboard her upper and lower decks again!
