MORE THAN A VIEW.


It's a historic landmark, with a history of many names behind it. In 1964, the Island Hut overhanging Naples Bay opened. The restaurant, specializing in Polynesian food was sold to a group of investors and became Pate's Marker IV. In 1969, this restaurant began massive renovations and welcomed nautical décor. In 1984, the restaurant was sold to the national franchise the Chart House. In 1999 it was bought by the Sarajian family, who renamed it "The Boathouse on Naples Bay".


The business is award winning and long standing, a local and critical favorite that has served four generations worth of locals in some families. Perhaps it's the fact that you can walk, drive or even sail to get there. Located on the Channel Marker 4 in Naples Bay, the restaurant has a 500ft of dock fingers to accommodate restaurant goers' boats. So, stop by! Try the seafood, the steaks, the ribs, the burgers and the Boathouse long time favorites with ice cold beer, one of a kind cocktails, or hand picked wines.
