Captains for Hire

The following is a list of names and links we have received of people who are available to take residents by boat to the islands. Please contact them directly to arrange transportation and other details as to cost, number of people, pick up location etc. Typically texting is the most efficient, as the cell service remains weak in Lee County.

Access to Sanibel

The City of Sanibel clarified the following points about access to the island post-Hurricane Ian:

A CURFEW IS IN EFFECT ON SANIBEL FROM 7:00PM TO 7:00AM, WITH NO EXCEPTION. Read MORE

Hurricane Ian Resource Links

If you are a resident or business affected by Hurricane Ian, here is a printable pdf of resources. We are trying to keep it updated, and it isn't in great order, but they are there in hopes of helping.

If you have links you have found helpful, please let us know and we will add them to the list.

New Damage Assessment Link

The City of Sanibel released an updated link to view damage assessments of properties on Sanibel and Captiva. The assessments of structures were completed by Urban Search and Rescue Teams.

The City will issue a new press release providing a link to an updated map once additional data is uploaded to the host site.

Please note that this can give misconceptions on the level of damage to the home. It does not take into consideration the interior damage and the continued deterioration from lack of electricity and the damage from heat and humidity.
