The Restaurant

With its prime location in the epicenter of the Yachting Capital of the world, Boatyard is Fort Lauderdale’s premier waterfront dining destination. Conceptualized and brought to life by The Restaurant People (TRP) as part of a joint venture with Hudson Capital Group (HCG), the reinvented Boatyard offers an upscale, nautical-chic vibe in a sophisticated, laidback atmosphere that embraces the pulse of the city’s yachting culture and where marina views abound.

With an ‘Eat Local, Be Coastal’ philosophy, Boatyard’s eclectic, seafood-centric menu blends the freshest daily catches from local fisherman with the highest-quality raw bar and shellfish selections and premium cuts of meat, all thoughtfully prepared with locally sourced ingredients for patrons to enjoy inside, outside or dockside.

Boatyard’s 80-seat dockside patio lounge provides a prime view of the scenic Intracoastal and the perfect setting to grab a bite or drinks in the company of friends while enjoying an afternoon or evening watching the boats cruise by.

Add to that an open kitchen, expansive raw bar cart, private event space for up to 200, and 120 feet of dockage for patrons who prefer to dock-and-dine, and the ultimate waterside dining experience is complete.

Dress Code:  We consider beach attire & footwear, tank tops, sports & athletic clothing too casual for our restaurant.

Review: yot bar & kitchen in fort lauderdale delivers waterside ride with light chop.

Susan Stocker / South Florida Sun Sentinel

Mike Linder, owner of Yot Bar & Kitchen, a nautical-themed restaurant with a seafood-focused menu in a relaxed indoor/outdoor setting nestled in the Lauderdale Marine Center.

Its name is Yot (as in yacht), it is tucked inside a hard-to-find Fort Lauderdale marina and it may be the rare restaurant that is easier to reach by boat than car. Depending on the day and batch of coconut milk-based conch chowder one encounters, Yot may feel like discovering hidden treasure or running aground on a sandbar.

Yot is a scenic, pleasant place with indoor and outdoor seating, a nautical theme and a seafood-focused menu that is geared mostly toward sandwiches and salads. Yot features one of the better creamy fish dips ($14) I’ve eaten in some time, a generous platter with toasted lavash chips, pickled vegetables and a fluffy mound of smoked mahi and wahoo that practically floats in a frothy sea of housemade creme fraiche. The portions are large and most plates are reasonable, particularly an overflowing rock shrimp po’ boy ($18). The market-price lobster roll ($27 on a recent night) also seemed like decent value, stuffed with 10 ounces of lobster meat including whole claws, lightly dressed in mayo with lemon zest.

Boaters who plug the coordinates 26? 05′ 53? N and 80? 09′ 58? W into their navigation systems will find Yot on the south fork of the New River at the Lauderdale Marine Center. Drivers who set their GPS or Wazes to the marina’s address may find themselves running into dead ends or the wrong guardhouse. It’s a bit confusing. Once you find the correct entry gate (the one farther west on Southwest 20th Street), just tell the guard you’re going to the restaurant and she’ll wave you through.

Yot has potential, but is not yet fully shipshape. Service is friendly but sometimes lax and distracted. More teamwork would be nice. Empty dishes sometimes sat on our table while floor staff strode past at dinner on a recent weekend. Our server brought dessert but forgot our coffee until much later when she was overwhelmed with a large group toward the end of our meal. Others sat in a back room eating and chatting.

Just under 3 months old, the restaurant has the unmistakable aura of a work in progress. We ordered sticky toffee pudding from the menu only to be told minutes later that the dessert was no longer available. A watermelon mojito changed flavors from one round to the next; my dining mate was told the bar ran out of watermelon juice. The pizza section of the menu is crossed out with a stamp that says, “Embarking soon.” My group saw a pizza sitting at the next table. Our server explained only a limited number were available during nightly happy hour (4-7 p.m.), and that there were some capacity problems with the conveyor oven. Oh.

Owner Mike Linder later explained that the troublesome pizza will soon be replaced by easier-to-bake flatbreads. A new dinner menu with more entrees is on the way (the restaurant currently has one all-day menu). Weekend brunch service is supposed to begin mid-February. A floating deck with outdoor bar still hasn’t opened (the target date is early March), limiting Yot’s bar capacity to six seats. A community high-top table in the dining room handles the bar overflow.

Yot has also endured some personnel turbulence, with a new chef (Kelly O’Hara) and general manager (Bill Talbert) coming aboard in the past month. O’Hara and sous chef Scott Ludley have worked for Linder’s private-jet catering firm (Silverline Catering) and at Jet Runway Cafe , a breakfast-lunch nook at Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport that Linder and business partner Mitch Amsterdam opened 11 years ago.

When Yot opened in October 2019 , a press release touted executive chef Gregory Schesser, who worked for acclaimed chef Thomas Keller at the French Laundry in Napa Valley. Schesser was gone by the time I made it in for my first meal this month.

Yot is not fancy or daring, featuring simple and straightforward food that fits the relaxed surroundings. The dining room features light fixtures dangling from boat ropes, wood-tile flooring and a garage door that opens to a patio. Plastic flaps come down around the patio when the weather gets cold or rainy. When the weather is good, the setting is glorious.

This is a place that makes you glad to be in Fort Lauderdale in January, a seemingly perfect spot to grab a beer, a cup of soup and a blackened mahi ($17) sandwich. But sometimes the unexpected arrives.

Conch chowder ($7) isn’t the spicy red tomato-based version typically seen in these parts, but rather a yellowish, vegetable-chocked variety that caught me by surprise. Ludley, originally from Haiti, later told me that Haitians and residents of some Caribbean islands make conch chowder with coconut milk. It would be nice if the menu noted the coconut base.

I’m all for regional variations, but I wasn’t OK with the cup that made it to my table at dinner. It was not good, a thick, gloppy mess that had no discernible conch or seafood flavor and tasted more like something out of a Campbell’s can. I summoned the server and asked if there had been a mistake. “Is this corn chowder?” I said. She insisted it was conch chowder.

Ludley and O’Hara later explained that something went wrong with the batch on the night I dined, with too much corn starch used. Another cup I sampled during a photo shoot was much better, with a thinner, flavorful broth that used sofrito and shrimp stock and chopped conch spiked with jalapenos. O’Hara says the restaurant now portions out conch in each bowl so that it doesn’t get lost at the bottom of a big vat.

Other problems are easily fixed. Mussels with frites ($23) featured crisp, shoestring fries and clean, plump mussels from Prince Edward Island but the plating was a problem, with a heap of mussels served in metal bowl. The top mussels were cold and the hot broth was inaccessible. The dish calls for a wider, shallower bowl to allow for easy dunking. Also some toasted baguette.

Salads are lightly dressed with an almond vinaigrette that was almost too subtle. Salt and pepper shakers are absent from tables but available upon request. And a satisfying double cheeseburger ($16), done in smooshed, crusted style with special sauce, lettuce, tomato, pickle and onion, featured a good brisket-and-chuck blend. The thin patties were juicy but cooked to medium well, a hallmark of that style. It would be nice if the server made note of that when ordering. Next time I’ll special-order it medium-rare.

With a few tweaks, I’ll be happy to be part of Yot’s regular eating crew.

A Yachtie's Social Guide to Fort Lauderdale

Fort Lauderdale is a beach-front city on the Atlantic coast of south Florida, about an hour north of Miami. If you’re an American looking to become a "yachtie," you’ll be spending a LOT of time here as it’s the yachting hub of the hemisphere. Superyacht marinas & shipyards, yachting industry vendors and businesses, training facilities, and crew agencies choose to make Fort Lauderdale their home thanks to its protected waterways and safe harbors for boats and mariners.

Green yachties and veterans alike migrate to Fort Lauderdale from all over the world to complete training, network, and job hunt. (The city and the industry is equipped for this! There is plenty of information on exactly how to do about making a move in our Superyacht Industry Guides) . While Fort Lauderdale is a professional mecca for the yachting industry, it’s also a fun and social city that many crew members consider a second home. I guarantee if you spend any time in Lauderdale, you’ll encounter flocks of yachties enjoying the many bars and restaurants the city has to offer.

This is a social industry! So it’s important to know the best places to hang and network with fellow crew members. Here’s a list of favorites:

Price Range : $$

Vibe: Laid-back gastropub with great food and draft selection.

Known For : Ladies Night, Burger Mondays, Bottomless Sunday Brunch

Why Yachties Like It : Tap 42 Is a modern yachtie go-to. This well-located gastropub is near the main yachting district of Fort Lauderdale and walkable from a bunch of the crew houses. If you’re on a budget be sure to check out Burger Mondays where you get one of their amazing gourmet burger entrees half-price with the purchase of a drink. Ladies' night is on Wednesday where ladies drink free so get ready to network socialize! Offers a great Sunday brunch as well with bottomless mimosa pitchers

Website : https://tap42.com/fort-lauderdale/

Vibe: Eclectic and vibrant cantina-style margarita bar & restaurant

Known For : Happy hour specials, Taco Tuesday, Ladies night Wednesdays, great margaritas & Mexican bites

Why Yachties Like It : This is a brand-new establishment attached to Tap 42 and founded by the same owners. Another great scene for socializing with crew and industry professionals offering affordable happy hour bites and drinks and a fantastic Sunday brunch spread.

Website : https://barritaftl.com

Price Range: $

Vibe: Casual & traditional Irish pub in the heart of the 17th St Yachting District

Known For: Foreign Sports Games & Specials, Ladies Night Saturdays, Burger Wednesdays

Why Yachties Like It: Waxy's caters to foreign yacht crew by playing all of the sports they love but don't have a lot of access here to in the states. Crew members (especially the guys) will flock into Waxy's to catch rugby, soccer and cricket on a regular basis and is an industry institution.

Website: www.waxyspub.com

Price Range : $$$

Vibe: Dock-side coastal-chic bar and restaurant with a locally sourced menu

Known For : Great setting, happy hour specials, Sunday brunch, Wine Tuesdays

Why Yachties Like It : Boatyard is a newly-renovated spot located right in the heart of the 17th St Yachting district of Fort Lauderdale. Its eclectic nautical decor pays homage to the maritime industry (the waitstaff even wear yacht crew uniforms!) and the dock-side canal setting is absolutely stunning. Indoor and outdoor bars & dining areas with great bites and drinks make this spot an industry favorite.

Website : www.boatyard.restaurant

Vibe: Laid back & beachy waterfront restaurant famous for its seafood and intercostal views

Known For : Great setting, oyster bar, Brunch

Why Yachties Like It : This spot is walkable from one of the most popular yacht marinas in Fort Lauderdale (Bahia Mar), as well as a short walk away from the beach and its bars and restaurants. Coconuts is very affordable, has quality food, and overlooks the intercostal waterway where you can enjoy watching the yachts cruise by. Be sure to check out the outside bar at sunset!

Webiste: www.coconutsfortlauderdale.com

Riverside Market Cafe

Price Range : $

Vibe: Casual specialty beer boutique with homey feel

Known For: Best beer selection in Fort Lauderdale

Why Yachties Like It: Yachties come from all over the world and Riverside Market is the most likely spot to have specialty beers that they recognize from their home countries. It's a chilled out atmosphere with unique sofa and lounge seating that gives the feel of a living room more than a bar/restaurant. It's tucked away outside of mainstream Lauderdale, so expect to find mainly yachts and only locals "in the know" with a passion for craft and specialty beers.

Website: www.theriversidemarket.com

Beachfront Classics – Blondies & Elbo Room

Vibe: Delightfully grungy bars along the Fort Lauderdale beachfront

Known For: Elbow Room is a classic Fort Lauderdale institution known for its live music and interesting characters. Next door is Blondies which is a chilled out sports bar with tons of bar games and activities. It's rare to go to one and not the other.

Why Yachties Like Them: They just almost always guarantee a good time and solid shenanigans.

Websites: https://itsbetteronthebeach.com/blondies/

Other Spots to Check Out:

Waterfront: S3 (Sun Surf Sand), Shooters, McSorelys, Rock Bar

Las Olas Blvd/Downtown: Roccos Tacos, Vinos, Louis Bossis, Sweet Nectar, American Social, Big City Tavern, YOLO, Royal Pig, Rooftop @ 1WLO, Rhythm & Vine, The Brass Tap

10 Must-Visit Crew Bars Around the World

Finally have some time to yourself and plan to spend it bar-hopping ashore? If you’re looking to find yourself amongst fellow yachties in your downtime, head to these bars beloved by superyacht crew in the world’s most popular yachting hotspots, from Antibes and Mallorca to Fort Lauderdale and the Caribbean islands.

Tap 42, Fort Lauderdale

Perfectly situated right next to Fort Lauderdale’s yachting district, it's a short trip from the marinas and crew accommodations to this budget-friendly Floridian gastropub. Tap 42 is known for its special deal days such as free drinks for ladies’ night every Wednesday and bottomless brunch on Sundays. The menu features typical American fare such as beefy burgers, moreish mac and cheese, barbecue ribs, and southern-fried chicken, plus fresh-caught seafood like grilled mahi mahi, jumbo shrimp, and ahi tuna tartare. The drinks list is populated by carefully curated, locally brewed beers and whiskeys.

Chat ‘N’ Chill, Stocking Island

Capt. Jeff Callahan of 31.55-meter Burger yacht Northland recommends this barefoot beach bar in the superyacht hub of the Exumas. He says the Chat ’N’ Chill is always “absolutely loaded with crew.” This buzzing hangout is famous for its Sunday Hog Roast and the menu is garnished with Bahamian beers and local dishes, including conch salad and burgers with a side of rice and peas. There’s plenty more to do than eat a meal there — visiting crew can swim with stingrays, mingle over a game of volleyball, attend barbecue parties, or even upskill with an on-site mixology course.

Willy T’s, Norman Island

Floating in Bight Bay just off the coast of Norman Island, this Caribbean beach bar is a legendary yachting institution in the British Virgin Islands (BVIs). Only accessible by yacht or tender, The William Thornton — affectionately known as Willy T’s — is a rowdy pirate ship party boat, where guests drink shots off waterskis and jump into the water from the top decks. Specialities on the menu include traditional chicken roti as well as locally sourced conch fritters and mahi mahi sandwiches, while drinks are mixed with the bar’s own brand of rum. Willy T's first opened in the 1980s and rose from the ashes in 2019 after being wiped out by Hurricane Irma two years previously.

Hogan’s Bar, Mallorca

When Hogan’s burger bar opened in Palma’s Santa Catalina district in 1996, it was the first authentic Irish pub in Mallorca. It became an instant hit, and with live music events and sports showings, the bar is now a favorite among crew cruising the Balearics during the Mediterranean season. Ideally located, the bar offers direct views of the marina and sees a regular stream of yachties visit for a pint of Guinness and a hearty meal. The menu specialises in burgers, chicken wings, and nachos, with everything on the menu made from scratch.

Sheer Rocks, St. John ’ s

One of two restaurants at Coco Bay Resort in western Antigua, crew come to Sheer Rocks for sundowner drinks or days off. All reservations receive a free drink on arrival and the menu is extensive, featuring tapas dishes like fried croquettes, pata negra platters, and truffled mac and cheese as well as local conch or clams. All seafood is carefully sourced, with only line-caught fish and hand-dived lobster on the menu. Other specialities include the homemade banana baked Alaska drizzled with local honey and a selection of aged rums and cigars will finish off the night. Alongside taking in stunning views out to sea, guests can also enjoy two infinity plunge pools and relax on linen-draped daybeds.

Absinthe Bar, Antibes

Located deep in the underbelly of Antibes’s old town, this speciality bar can be found in an underground cave just a 10-minute walk from the superyacht hub of Port Vauban. Decorated with retro posters, an original 1860s zinc bar, and absinthe memorabilia, Absinthe Bar has a unique atmosphere and offers something slightly different for yachties who have already sampled the other crew hotspots of Antibes. The forgotten drink favored by the bohemian set of the 19th century is revived at this dive bar and served in the traditional way, with a flaming sugar cube on top.

Abracadabra, Nelson ’ s Dockyard

Affectionately referred to as “ Abras ,” this Antigua institution has recently reopened its doors after an extensive two-year renovation. Swaying palm trees, live music, and the sound of waves lapping the shores of Nelson’s Dockyard set the scene for memorable nights at this restaurant and nightclub. The menu features Italian cuisine, with dishes like eggplant parmigiana, deep-fried calamari, and Neapolitan meatballs complemented by an extensive variety of cocktails. The bar itself describes the clientele as a mix of “yachties, local residents, and celebrities.”

Soggy Dollar, Jost Van Dyke

An iconic watering hole for yachties cruising the Caribbean, Soggy Dollar is so named because guests can only access the bar by swimming to the shores of White Bay on Jost Van Dyke island. A collection of superyacht guests, bareboaters, and crew flock to the lively BVIs bar to sample its signature drink, “The Painkiller,” invented here in the 1970s and concocted from a mixture of dark rum, coconut cream, pineapple, orange juices, and freshly grated Grenadian nutmeg. Partner your drink with comfort food and local seafood, such as lobster rolls or fresh mahi mahi.

Boatyard, Fort Lauderdale

The aptly named Boatyard has all the right elements to attract yachtie types; a prime waterside location near Fort Lauderdale’s marina district, nautical interior styling with a laid-back atmosphere, and a menu that focuses on fresh seafood from the local waters. Diners can dig into offerings from the raw bar, including oysters, ceviche, and shrimp, or go big with a plate of lobster and tuna tacos or grilled mahi mahi and swordfish from the wood-fired grill — plus the wine list is extensive if you’re just dropping by for a drink and there's vegan options as well. The Boatyard describes itself as an establishment “that embraces the pulse of the city’s yachting culture,” and there’s even a 120-foot (36.5 meter) dockage option for those who want to drop anchor right at the doorstep.

Saba Rock, Virgin Gorda

Self-described as a “haven for yachties, divers, and kiteboarders for more than 50 years,” this small island in the BVI’s North Sound holds a charming, rustic resort with a large mooring field for visiting yachts to drop anchor right out front. Founded in the 1960s by a pro diver, Saba Rock still offers courses from diving to windsurfing that crew can enjoy on their day off — if they haven’t already booked a session at the spa to relax after a long shift. The open-air restaurant and bar is familiar with welcoming crew to its shores and has a menu featuring a fusion of Caribbean and international dishes, including conch salad, mahi mahi ceviche, blackened grouper burgers, or grilled lobster.
