"What's so special about Florida's Captiva Island," says charter Capt. John Houston, "is there are so many wonderful places you can go be by yourself — little nooks and crannies that you can find to be with nature. You'll feel like there's no other place in the world that you'd rather be than there, right there at that moment. 

"Enjoying the beach, the sand, the waves, the seashells, the birds, listening to the wind blow through the palm trees — Captiva's just a very special place. It's like no other place in Southwest Florida."
