Ghassan was the BEST jet ski tour guide! He made it fun and safe for our whole family :) we took our twin 10 year olds and they had a blast. The time flew by! It was relaxing and exhilarating at the same time! We saw lots of dolphins. Such a wonderful way to spend the morning. Highly recommended! read more

The office was empty, no one picked up the phone or answered on a walkie: The jet skis are lined up all pretty at the beach, but the trick is they don't really want you to rent them cuz they chillaxing. "You gotta go the office to book." You walk to the office. A resort staffer says, "Oh, you might try to look for them on the beach." You'll do that walk back and forth twice maybe three times if you're a sucker, they don't respect your time and you'll have more fun collecting sea shells quietly with your thoughts. read more

Rob and Caleb made our parasailing experience interesting and very fun! We had never gone parasailing before so we were a bit nervous, but Rob and Caleb were both so knowledgeable and competent that they made us feel at ease for the entirety of the excursion. Would recommend! read more

Easy to work with, so kind, and SO FUN! My entire famiky of 8 had a blast, from my oldest (24) to my youngest (9) Highly recommend!

Rob and Colton were amazing. They were so polite, fun, and safe. My daughters (age 17 and 20) and husband had a blast flying!!! I also enjoyed riding along in the boat. This is definitely a highlight of our week in Captiva!!!! Thanks so much!!!! We highly recommend this company and these guys. read more

Great service, individualized attention. Nice equipment. Beautiful setting. Would rent here again.

John set us up for an unforgettable day on the sound. John's instructions were fantastic and made us, as novice boaters, feel at ease in unfamiliar water. The pontoon was excellent and easy to use. read more

They sent us out in a small craft with 20 mph winds.We asked if it was too windy-they said no n the result was a miserable choppy scary jolting day in the water. Don't trust them to take your safety seriously. read more

Today we rented waverunners from Captiva Water Sports at Tween-Waters Resort. Since we were staying at the resort we had a small discount and 1 hour rentals were $110 each. We rented from the office near the resort marina and we boarded the waverunners on the beach right across the street from the resort. The staff in the office were very nice. We were given a safety orientation and issued life jackets in the beach by Jared. He also gave us the parameters of how far away from shore and how far along the shore we could ride. He was personable and friendly. He and Jess helped us board the waverunners and sent us on our way. Jess was there in the water welcoming us back after our ride and tying up the waverunners for us. read more

My husband and I hired Jared to take us on a guided jet ski tour of the islands. He did a phenomenal job showing us the sights, while giving us a rich historical overview of the area, and ensuring we could be close to the dolphins. I highly recommend this tour. read more

We took a boat out for 6 hours and it was great! John sets you up with the map and away you go. We popped into a couple of different beaches and had a blast with the kids. Will be heading back next year and thanks again John! read more

Thanks to Rob for a great Wave Runner tour. He is knowledgeable about the area, birds, fish and wildlife in general. We saw manatee, dolphins, birds, and fish. read more

John knows his stuff. He covered everything I would've had questions about. He knew we wanted to get out and start enjoying the day, so he was professional and to the point. He also was looking out for us and gave us a heads up rough weather may be coming. Overall great experience just wished we had more time. read more

We had reserved a pontoon rental a couple of weeks ago to take our granddaughter to Cabbage Key. Earlier this week Hurricane Idalia passed by causing Captiva Watersports to evacuate all their boats and equipment. Rob and his crew went over the top to get a boat back in place for us to use. The boat was very nice and everything went smoothly. Thank you Rob, John, and crew for going the extra mile for us. We give them a 12 on a scale of 10!!! We will be back! read more

We had the pleasure of parasailing with Rob and Tyler. As a large group of 12, with ages ranging from 10 to 50, we had some flyers that were seasoned and some first timers. Rob and Tyler made the experience so fun and enjoyable. They are both very funny and made us all feel very safe. We were able to connect our phones to their speaker system to play our music if choice, which was quite a variety considering the age ranges. They were patient with our newbies and made kept our trio groups as close to what we wanted as they could (keeping within weight limitations). As a avid water lover, Miamian, and seasoned boater, I was very comfortable with their knowledge of the waterway in which we flew. They were safe on the water and explained safety measures in detail prior to departure. We take a group trip to Captiva and Sanibel every year and we will definitely be back to fly with them again. Thank you Rob and Tyler. You made our trip and our experience so great! read more

We highly recommend checking out Captiva Watersports! My wife, our two sons (11 and 15) and I had the most amazing experience parasailing with these guys. Captain Rob and Tyler were awesome!! We were completely put at ease with their sense of humor as this was our first time parasailing. From the moment we got on the boat, we could tell we were in great hands and that we could just relax and enjoy the experience. Captain Rob knows what he is doing, rest assured you will have a fun, safe time on the water. We would absolutely go back for more fun! Thank you for the unforgettable memories. read more

Booked a shark ride last minute for my kids while visiting Captiva for the day. Jared was a great tour guide, took the time to explain the ride and hand signals to my kids who had never done this before. The ride was fantastic, my kids were smiling and laughing hours after it was over. Would definitely recommend CWS for a day of fun. read more

Awesome experience going parasailing with Captiva Watersports! Rob & Joe were fun, professional, and efficient while taking us parasailing. They put everyone at ease before putting us up in the air. It's a fantastic way to get a bird's eye view of the island! We saw a few dolphins, quite a few turtles, and some schools of fish while in the air. When they go to dip your feet towards the end, it is a fun & very smooth & controlled move, so don't be nervous! I went up with my 14 year old cousin & 11 year old cousin and they loved it. They allowed their dad to ride the boat for a reasonable passenger fee. read more

We book for 12:00 but arrived early. They provided parking and managed to get us in earlier. There was 6 of us and we went up two at a time. The crew was polite and experienced with a great sense of humor. We ranged in age from 22 to 72 and Jordon was great in getting us all hooked up for a great safe sail. read more

These guys were great! I brought my 6 year old daughter and she absolutely loved it. I was far more nervous about it than her. Great time and we will definitely be back. read more

Total FIVE STARS FOR ME!!!!!! We had a fantastic experience at this establishment They take their time to explain all of the rules, have someone go into the water with you, and are not too far away when you're jet skiing or doing an activity. The owner was extremely courteous and kind to us, and their workers were really nice and patient. Being our first time Jet-skiing they put us at ease. The beach is gorgeous and the water is beautiful! Just don't go too fast, or you'll bump yourself off from riding a high wave...However, the experience was AMAZING!!!!!! read more

We rented the 23FT boat with 6 adults. The service guys were good overall. We rented from 9AM - 3PM. We were forced to come in due to inclement weather 2 hours early and they never offered a 2 hour credit/refund. I realize that they aren't obligated, but that would've been the "right" thing to do for great customer service. The boat was old and the gauges intermittently worked. The motor wasn't powerful enough for 6 adults. We stay at Tween Waters in the 3BR cabin yearly. We spend $3k on the cabin and expect that renting from here, they would've or should've done the right thing with the credit that we didn't receive. We will be patronizing Jensen's from here on out. read more

We took off on the boat Ariel with Captain Rob and his mate Tyler. They were professional, funny, efficient, awesome. It was my first time parasaIling and I have a *bit* of a fear of heights I was conquering. They made it easy and fun. I highly recommend!! read more

What a wonderful day we had out on the beautiful water! The staff was excellent! We arrived and everything was quick and simple to begin our adventure. The boat was very clean and absolutely problem free! We highly recommend booking with Captiva Watersports for a delightful day on the read more

We placed a reservation early in the morning and were waiting all day excited to go jet skiing. We drive across the Sanibel bridge (pay for that) and get to Captiva Watersports to see that they've been closed all day long. We were charged for the reservation and had no warning that the place was closed. Worst rental place ever. read more

My mom and I had a great time parasailing! They said they had flown ages 11 months to 97 so it's definitely an activity for all ages. They were both friendly and helpful and made you feel at ease. The whole experience was wonderful and we'd definitely go back! read more

Wonderful experience! Highly recommend! Amy did a wonderful job preparing us for our trip out. She pointed out good areas for fishing and for sight seeing. Made sure to give us important navigating and safety tips. Location was wonderful by Cayo Costa Island! Had a few good catches up along the dock areas; one huge sea trout we were able to enjoy for dinner, saw a family of dolphins that graced us with their presence up close on multiple occasions, saw manatees and countless birds. Also able to anchor a few feet out to enjoy the island and swim. The 19' console was in very good condition and our family of 2 adults, 2 older kids fit comfortably. Great value and also gave us an additional deal for our next return! Great location, great vessel, great staff! We'll be back for sure! read more

These guys were awsome. Very helpful for a large party that wanted a fishing charter. Capt Jimmy and Josh did a great job of finding the fish, jetskis and parasailing were excellent too. Jimmy helped my youngest pull in a 6' nurse shark. Too big for the boat but was the highlight of his week. Highly recommended read more

We were looking last minute and came across Captiva Watersports and so happy we did! Was able to book a boat quickly and with amazing service. Shout out to Mike for prepping the boat with fresh ice, providing easy navigation tips and making the overall experience wonderful. Thank you...we will definitely see you on our next visit. read more

We had a such a wonderful experience renting jet skis that we came back a few days later and parasailed. The whole process was so easy down to the very specific driving directions! Everyone we came in contact with was so friendly and knowledgeable and made us feel completely safe! Definitely recommend getting the photo and video package! Hope to return to the area again and will definitely rent from Captiva Watersports! Shoutout to our wonderful CWS crew: John, Captain Rob (we think), Jared, and Skylar! read more

Highly recommend!! We recently rented wave runners while down in Fort Myers. Jared and Connor were great to deal with! We enjoyed our experience and would recommend read more

Siblings and I went out for a 30-minute jet-ski ride here. The little shack is tucked away from the main road. A very laidback staff helped us inside, Jared helped us on the beach. Biggest issue here is the cost for the value of the experience, around 210 dollars for two jet skis for a thirty-minute excursion! Although the staff was extremely friendly and helpful, the cost and preparation makes this experience less desirable. read more
