Jenny and Brad welcome you to McCarthy's Marina

History
The Marina building dates back to the early 1900's when Pops Randall and his wife lived there and ran the original Captiva ferry dock, the lifeline to Captiva Island until the Sanibel Causeway was built in 1963. Later in the '40s '50s and early '60s, the property was a legendary gathering place known as Andy's. Andy Rosse and his wife, Dessa, ran the dock and waterfront saloon, which hosted locals as well as more famous Americans such as J.N. "Ding" Darling and Adlai Stevenson. The present owner purchased the property from Andy's children.
