You will be hard pressed to find anything more reasonable or convenient.  Look into a 2 or 3 bedroom condo and share with friends – this is the most economical and you will have a full kitchen to cook in. Again if you stay off-site you will be charged a daily entry fee to the resort. Also, for rooms reserved under the group block, a daily resort credit will be provided that can be applied against on-site meals and recreation charges. This credit varies by the type of accommodation reserved:

Up to $25/day for 1-bedroom Villas and Guest Rooms

Up to $50/day for 2-bedroom Villas

Up to $75/day for 3-bedroom Villas

The credit will be applied at check-out against applicable charges. Room Credits must be used for on site food/beverage/etc. NOT for your room rate, resort fee or applicable fees and taxes.

You may, but it is not the preferred way.  Captiva Island is a very small island and very isolated.  Most homes that are close to the Resort are private and if you rent one you WILL NOT have access to the resort amenities.  If you stay off-site, a daily access fee will be charged to get into the Resort. If you stay on the mainland in Fort Myers it is at least a 1 hour drive time to the island and a bridge toll (currently $6) every time you come onto the island.

For racers who choose not to stay at South Seas, there will be a $20 per day, per vehicle parking fee. This does not give you access to any resort amenities; restaurants, pools, tennis courts, beach chairs, etc.  Parking fee for Hotel Guests is included in the Resort Fee.

Yes, you may. The cost is $150 plus tax, per person, per day. Please visit the front desk to get your resort wristband. This will give you access to all the restaurants, pools, beaches, beach chairs, beach towels, and tennis courts.

To ensure South Seas Island Resort facilities are reserved for the exclusive use of our registered guests and members, all payments within the gates of the resort must be made via use of your resort charge cards.

Upon registration, you will be requested to present a photo identification and a form of payment to authorize funds to the resort charge cards. We accept AMERICAN EXPRESS, MASTERCARD, VISA, DISCOVER, and DINERS CLUB. Upon arrival, the credit card will be authorized for the room, resort fee and tax, plus $250 per day for incidentals.

Please note: If a DEBIT CARD is used at check-in, the above authorizations will result in a hold on funds in your account. Guests who choose to use cash are required to PRE-PAY their stay upon arrival, including a $250 per day deposit, which will be applied towards incidental charges. Should you choose to settle your account with a form of payment other than CREDIT CARD, TRAVELERS CHEQUE, or CASH, arrangements must be made PRIOR to arrival.

Should you use your debit card at check-in, funds utilized for room, tax, resort fee, as well as a $250 per day incidental hold will be withheld from your checking account immediately. Your bank will release the difference between your final bill and funds initially approved after checkout. Please note, this could take between 7 and 21 days depending on your bank, domestic vs. international.

Make your reservations as soon as possible. There are a limited number of each accommodation type.  If you want a beach front accommodation or something close to the race site you should reserve immediately. The property has a 14 day cancellation period, meaning you can cancel without penalty up to 14 days from your arrival date. For rooms reserved within the group block, only a one night deposit is required. Rooms reserved outside the block require a two-night deposit. If you have ANY questions regarding the accommodation, please contact Lori Mohney @ [email protected].

Yes, click on any of the accommodations above and you will receive the negotiated group rates.  You will need a credit card to reserve your stay. Again, a one-night deposit will be charged and this is refundable up to 14 days prior to your arrival.  If you have general questions please call the resort at +1 239-472-5111.

Closest rooms to the sailing venue are the Harbourside Marina View Guestrooms and the 2 Bedroom Marina Villas which are located on the North Pointe of the resort.  These are within walking distance of the sailing venue.  The Guestrooms only have a mini-fridge and do not have cooking facilities. The Marina Villas are equipped with a full kitchen.

The  1/2/3 bedroom Villas (Bayside/Beach/Tennis) are on the South Pointe of the resort.  There is a trolley that loops around the resort continually.  They will have a trolley in the mornings and afternoons of the event so your wait will not be long.  There are stops marked all over the resorts – all convenient to whatever accommodation you choose to stay in. There are bikes and golf carts available (based on availability) for rental for your entire stay (or bring your own bikes).  Many local vendors will deliver bikes to your door for your stay for a very reasonable fee.  There will be Hobie banquets/parties on both sides of the resort.
