Captains Landing in Punta Gorda, Charlotte, United States | Boutique

Welcome to Captains Landing, Punta Gorda, United States. Captains Landing first opened its doors in the fall of 1995 in Punta Gorda, Florida. Fresh out of college, brothers Trent and Troy Young following in the retail footsteps of their father decided to try their hand at men's fashion retailing. After the closing of an existing men's store in the beautiful waterfront shopping destination of Fishermen's Village, the brothers took aim at the men's resort clothing fashion business, bringing a slightly less traditional flair along with them. Realizing a generation gap existed in men's wear, they set out to open a store that offered unique specialty goods to a more diverse customer in both age and price point. Keeping up with the latest styles and trends, as well as providing legendary customer service, they were able to build a thriving specialty men's store that to this day attracts customers from near and far.

In the summer of 2000 with a need for more space, the Punta Gorda store underwent an extensive remodel that doubled its original size. In 2004 Hurricane Charley ripped through town and devastated the entire community. Even though Charley packed quite a punch, the devastation was short lived and the community came back stronger than ever including our own business, which eventually led to thoughts of an additional location.

In October of 2005, Trent and Troy opened their newest store, Captains Landing of Venice, some 40 miles north of Punta Gorda in the charming downtown city of Venice, Florida. Void of a men's store for many years Venice seemed to be the perfect place for the brothers to expand their business and provide a highly desired product needed by the community; not to mention the simple fact that Venice was their hometown. The new store was built around a "Boutique" concept providing an even more intimate and relaxed shopping atmosphere. With the addition of a few new lines as well as being richly decorated and furnished, Captains Landing of Venice was born offering an even more upscale approach to better men's wear.
