Apparatus and methods for marine capture of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) using water for braking and damping are described. An example capture device is for capturing a UAV aboard a marine vessel located in a body of water. The capture device includes a mounting frame and a capture frame. The mounting frame is configured to be coupled to the marine vessel. The capture frame is configured to be rotatably coupled to the mounting frame. The capture frame is rotatable relative to the mounting frame about an axis of rotation. The capture frame includes a braking member configured to be submerged in the body of water. The braking member is configured to oppose rotation of the capture frame relative to the mounting frame based on a braking force to be applied to the braking member by the body of water.
