When you picture the perfect Captiva Island restaurant, you don’t just think about food—you think about atmosphere, authenticity and an experience that captures the soul of the island. At The Shipyard, nestled beside the iconic Old Captiva House at ‘Tween Waters Island Resort & Spa, we bring all of that to the table with every dish we serve.
As soon as you walk through the doors, the space speaks to you. Nautical details, vintage marine memorabilia and warm coastal design remind us that this isn’t just a meal—it’s a story of Florida’s deep fishing and boating history. We’re proud to reflect that spirit in everything we do, from the way we greet you to the way we plate your food.
Our menus are built with an eye toward freshness, local flavor and a dash of adventurous creativity. Whether it’s flaky grouper that tastes like it was caught that morning, tender steaks grilled to perfection, or imaginative takes on comfort classics, every dish feels like a tribute to the coast.
Pairing food with drinks is something we take seriously—and joyfully. Our bartenders craft signature cocktails that are bold and breezy, just like Captiva itself. The Key lime pie martini? That’s us in a glass. The raspberry lemon drop? A sunset in sip form. Beer lovers will find their go-to in the locally loved Captiva Blonde, while those looking for something with depth can explore our Shipyard-branded whiskey, served with smooth pride.
Here on Captiva, dining should never be ordinary, and at The Shipyard, it never is. It’s where Gulf flavors meet coastal soul, and where every visit feels like coming home.
