Whether you're in the mood for a laid-back lunch spot with dockside seating or a festive local bar with live music and tropical cocktails, Hey Mon Sanibel’s boat trips to restaurants can be customized to fit your taste and timing.

Some of our most popular options include:

• Tiki bars with live music and killer sunsets

• Seafood shacks known for fresh grouper sandwiches, oysters, and shrimp

• Hidden gems with authentic Cuban, Caribbean, or Southern fare

• Family-friendly waterfront grills with games, ice cream, and beach access

• Upscale dining with full bar service and dockside ambiance

Captain Peter knows the area like the back of his hand and can recommend the perfect spot — or take you wherever your cravings lead.

Sip, Snack, and Settle In

Imagine cruising up to a dock, stepping off the boat, and sitting down to an icy cold brew, cheesy garlic beach bread, and fried pickles — or maybe a dozen oysters served with tangy sauces and a Gulf Coast breeze. Still not convinced? How about authentic Cuban black beans and rice, fresh-off-the-boat stone crab, or peel-and-eat shrimp with a view of the mangroves?

Some guests prefer a more classic Florida meal: a blackened grouper sandwich, smoked mahi dip, or local ribs slow-roasted and served with homemade coleslaw. Others come for the atmosphere — toes in the sand, cold drink in hand, and live island music filling the air.

Whatever your flavor, our Sanibel boat bar tours give you the freedom to enjoy the best bites and sips the region has to offer, without the hassle of parking or crowds. It’s casual, it’s fun, and it’s the perfect way to spend an afternoon or evening on the water.

Perfect for Groups, Celebrations, or Just Because

Whether you're celebrating a birthday, planning a fun night out with friends, or just want to mix up your vacation itinerary, Hey Mon Sanibel’s dock-and-dine trips are designed to be as flexible as they are fun.

We accommodate groups of up to six, and each trip is customized to your schedule and dining preferences. Want to hit multiple spots in one trip? We can do that. Prefer a leisurely cruise to a single destination? Absolutely.

We handle the boating — you handle the relaxing. Just gather your group, pick a direction, and let Captain Peter know where you’d like to go. He’ll handle the rest, from route planning to docking assistance.

Combine It with a Sunset or Scenic Cruise

Why stop at just a meal? Our boat restaurant trips from Sanibel can easily be combined with a sunset cruise or a scenic wildlife tour. Enjoy dolphin sightings on the way, watch pelicans dive for fish, or relax in the golden glow of the evening sun as you cruise home.

Want to stop at a remote island for a post-lunch beach walk? Or pick up some fresh seafood to take back with you? Let us know — we’re all about creating experiences that are as unique as your taste buds.
