Captiva Island, a small island off the Fort Myers coast in Florida, is often compared to Sanibel, a nearby island to the south.

The beaches, mixed with traditional and exotic wildlife on the island, made the perfect canvas for this gorgeous and colorful Sanibel-Captiva Island map. 6000 years ago when Sanibel Island and Captiva Island joined, they created one of the best beach landscapes on the planet. Pillow soft white sands graced with an eclectic and broad range of gorgeous seashells make this now single island one of the most visited in the world. This partnership project was officially unveiled in late November 2013 at the 'Tween Waters Inn on Captiva Island. Xplorer Maps will be donating more than $30,000 over the next few years to CIHS to help with the construction of their new "History Room" located in the Captiva Community Center and to help further their ongoing efforts to preserve the unique culture and history of the islands. The Sanibel-Captiva Islands Map is 24" wide by 18" tall. PHILANTHROPY-GIVING BACK FOR OUR PUBLIC LANDS - As members of 1% For The Planet, Xplorer Maps donates a percentage of proceeds from every product we sell to a variety of non-profit organizations around the world. All of these organizations have similar missions as we do; focused on the conservation, preservation, and education of our Public Lands. Xplorer Maps has donated more than $100K to more than 37 different organizations since we began 10 years ago. MATERIALS - For all of our signed and numbered Limited Edition giclee prints, we use only the absolute finest reproduction paper in the industry. MUSEO MAX is a 100% cotton-heavy rag paper with absolutely no optical brighteners. These giclee prints represent the finest original artwork reproduction in the industry and will appreciate in value by approximately 5% annually for a true investment in art. PACKAGE - Every print is shipped in our unique and distinct “illustrated tube” that is safe and convenient for shipping, and travel as they fit in all standard carry-on luggage. 100% CUSTOM ART - A lot of map art is simply stock or "open source" imagery with a logo or small piece of custom art overlayed so that it can then be marketed as "original, custom, art". Xplorer Maps is different. Every single line, letter, and image has been intricately rendered entirely by hand. Each is unique and original to every new map we create. These maps are truly custom and one of a kind! THE ART PROCESS - The medium used by world-renowned illustrator Chris Robitaille for these hand-drawn maps is pen & ink with multiple layers of watercolor washes. Depending on the depth of detail in the map being rendered, the actual art process takes anywhere from 5-8 weeks. The end result is an entirely custom, unique, and original piece of art that has been fully vetted for "educational merit, historical and geographic accuracy, and cultural relevance. PERFECT GIFT IDEA - At Xplorer Maps, we strive to make meaningful connections between our hand-drawn "story" maps and your personal travel and life experiences.
