Boathouse Tiki Bar & Grill Cape Coral – Former Waterfront Restaurant (Currently Closed & Under Redevelopment)

A damaged restaurant named 'Boat House Tiki Bar & Grill', surrounded by palm trees under a clear blue sky.

A Former Cape Coral Favorite

The Boathouse Tiki Bar & Grill in Cape Coral was long one of the most iconic waterfront restaurants in the area and a favorite gathering spot along the Caloosahatchee River. Known for its relaxed tiki atmosphere, live music, and beachside setting, it offered a true Florida lifestyle experience.

Close

Notice: The original building was demolished following damage caused by Hurricane Ian in 2022. The location within the Yacht Club area is currently part of a major redevelopment project. The restaurant is not operating at this time.

The Boathouse was widely known for its laid-back vibe under palm trees, great food, and some of the best sunset views in the city. Its prime waterfront location made it a go-to destination for both locals and visitors.
