Popular cruise excursion business reopens post-Ian

Another Southwest Florida tourism business has reopened post-Hurricane Ian, with Captiva Cruises one of the latest to welcome back customers. 

A family-owned and -operated cruise excursion service, Captiva Cruises celebrated its reopening milestone with a ribbon cutting and celebratory cruise earlier in January. The event was held in partnership with the Sanibel & Captiva Islands Chamber of Commerce, according to a statement. 

Captiva Cruises staff, partners and community supporters gathered at McCarthy’s Marina to commemorate the occasion, which included a celebratory cruise of the local waters aboard the 45-foot catamaran, Santiva.
