The Captiva 240 arrived in the mid1980s as a performanceminded alternative to the heavier pocket cruisers of the era. Produced by Captiva Yachts in Clearwater, Florida, between 1984 and 1988, the vessel was born from the collaboration of Richard Watkins and Kevin Pastor. Watkins, a veteran of the marine industry, sought to apply the fiberglass expertise gained from his family’s previous venture, Watkins Yachts, to a more agile and responsive design. The result was a boat that bridged the gap between a pure MORC (Midget Ocean Racing Club) racer and a manageable weekend cruiser.
