Ft. Myers Hang-outs
 

What's the best dockside restaurant where I'd be guaranteed to see some performance boats on a visit to Ft. Myers?

What are your dates ? Maybe FMO will have a fun run on.

I'll be there from Dec. 26 to 28.

Hmmm. Merry apres Christmas !! :) No runs till our annual New Years day fun run but too late for you. It will be hit and miss at that time but some of us will want to be getting out after Christmas for sure. There are several waterfront restaurants in the Cape Coral / Ft Myers / FM Beach / Naples area but no one place we can call "our hangout" where you would be guaranteed to see boats. If you are on Ft Myers Beach ( Lani Kai ) there is a good chance you may see some boats going up or down the coastline.
Maybe some others might have something to suggest.
good luck,
Bob

Any you recommend for good food and cheap beer? We might head down for a few days before Thanksgiving.

Parrot Key at Salty Sams has the best docks, good food but you might have to pay a little extra for the beer.
Hard to find a Ft. Myers Hi-perf boat hang out though.
Any place along the beach near the Lani Kai will give you some good food,cheap enough beer and some interesting sights. Might even see a few boats anchored or ripping by.

Quesadillas at Parrot Key!

Seems like mostly center consoles and things sitting at the bars down there. I love the laid back atmosphere down there. My favorite place in all of Florida!

Cabbage Key would be worth a visit for a "Cheeseburger In Paradise". Rumrunners is also very cool.

if your on the beach, beach pierside is cool, top o mast, and the cottage, but still not many performance boats. Could always check out nor-tech or stop by superboats to see some nice boats. Ill be down middle jan.

Fort myers beach.I live there about 12 years ago and i miss everything but the heat.

I'm going to be in Ft. Myers over Thanksgiving, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Does nor-tech do factory tours? I would love to check it out...

I thought the Channel Mark had some good grub....

" J-Bonz - I thought the Channel Mark had some good grub.... "

Years ago the boat(ers) would often hang out at the Channel Mark on Sunday afternoons. I haven't heard much about it lately.

The Channel Mark is now an Italian Restaurant.........

I would recommend Mantanza's on FMB. They are directly under the big bridge. They have really good food, great view and a fun sports bar on the upper level. We are usually there on Saturday's watching college football.

FMO is having a fun run on
that saturday starting at sanibel
bridge,alot times you can see them
from the pier.

Yes but our food sucks.

We're closed for the Holiday but maybe I can open up the door for you on Friday.

2nd that, great food and view.

Lani Kai for offshores ripping by. Still miss FMB after moving to Tampa.

Lighthouse resturant at port sanibel,
half mile before sanibel island bridge.

That would be really cool, if your gonna be around and it's not too much trouble. I'll PM you when it gets closer.
Thanks,
Aaron

tiki bar at holiday inn always has some good sights

Rum runners in Cape Corral!! Great food. We will be down on the 23 of December and staying til Feb. Would like to do the New Years poker run, but not sure if Im bringing the boat?
