Ten Harbor Restaurants To Dock In For Lunch

Preparing lunch for a day on the water is essential to any boating adventure. But sometimes, the early morning rush leaves little time to plan the perfect meal, and crafting a boat lunch can be tiresome and messy. So, if you find yourself tired of the usual PB&J sandwiches and pretzels, take a look at these ten harbor restaurants to add some flavor to your day!

Cap’s On The Water

St. Augustine, Florida. | https://www.capsonthewater.com/

Tucked between Ponte Vedra and St. Augustine, Cap’s is the perfect place to pop by for a shaded seafood lunch – or dinner. Enjoy the outdoor deck, covered pavilion, indoor dining space and tiki bar, all while catching the gorgeous views of the Intracoastal Waterway. Cap’s has roughly six slips at their dock, but don’t worry! If you can’t find an opening, hang out on one of the nearby sandbars where “Docktail” servers will bring by take-out orders and cocktails – if conditions allow.
