Castaways Marina (Limited To No Trailer Parking)

Castaways Marina in Sanibel offers a full-service boat ramp providing direct access to Pine Island Sound and the surrounding waters of southwest Florida. This is a convenient launch point for kayakers and boaters exploring the sound's shallow, mangrove-lined passages, as well as nearby destinations like Matlacha Pass, Boca Grande Pass, and Charlotte Harbor. The marina includes a ship's store and amenities typical of a full-service facility.

Parking is available at the ramp with 24-hour parking options for vehicles and trailers. The launch area provides access to diverse paddling opportunities, from exploring the protected waters and islands of Pine Island National Wildlife Refuge and Matlacha Pass National Wildlife Refuge to more open-water cruising in the sound. Waters in this area are generally shallow and sheltered, making it suitable for various skill levels, though tidal considerations and weather conditions on the sound should always be checked before launching.
