Nauti Dawg Marina Café Extends Hours and Introduces Complete Liquor Menu

The eatery is located at Port 32’s Lighthouse Point Marina.

Nauti Dawg Marina Café has recently upgraded to offer a full-service liquor menu with an expansion of its hours of operation, just in time for South Florida’s high season. The café has gained a reputation for its relaxed and casual atmosphere, offering delicious food, libations, and live music, all while providing a stunning view of the waterfront.

The Nauti Dawg restaurant, with its beautiful waterfront location and stunning Intracoastal views, is a 2,271-square-foot establishment that serves breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner. Its guests can enjoy weekly live entertainment and music and relax in a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. The restaurant offers ample indoor and outdoor seating options and six dedicated transient slips. It has also expanded its menu to include a full liquor bar and an extensive wine and craft beer selection. The guests can now enjoy a variety of specialty cocktails, such as Spicy Bloody Marys, Rum Punch and Key Lime Martinis.

“We’re excited to offer visitors and locals alike a full liquor menu and expanded hours of operation just in time for South Florida’s season,” General Manager Scott Elsaesser says. “We welcome guests to join us with their furry friends in their shorts and flip-flops to dine al fresco on the waterfront terrace and enjoy the scenic backdrop of Lighthouse Point overlooking the Intracoastal Waterway.”

The Nauti Dawg Marina Café boasts a Caribbean-American menu that perfectly reflects its laid-back tropical atmosphere. Fresh seafood and coastal creations comprise the bulk of the menu, with a range of signature brunch dishes, including Lobster and Waffles, Coconut French Toast, Croque Monsieur, omelets, benedicts, and other favorites. The cafe’s lunch and dinner menu features an array of dishes such as Cilantro Lime Shrimp Wrap, Lobster, and Shrimp Ravioli, BBQ Beef Short Rib, ‘Catch of the Day’ fish, sandwiches, salads, burgers, tacos, and more.

The Nauti Dawg Marina Café offers a unique dining experience for boaters with its “Hook N’ Cook” program, which allows customers to bring their freshly caught fish for the chef to prepare. Additionally, the café has a special menu called “For The Dawgs,” designed specifically for dogs with dishes like bacon, chicken, and burgers. Moreover, they also have a “Pup’s Portions” menu for children 10 years old and under.

The venue provides live music every Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday evening. The venue also hosts “Men’s Night” on Wednesdays between 4 p.m. and 9 p.m. On Men’s Night, patrons can enjoy a discount of $5 on all burgers and wings and can also avail half off on bottled beer, pretzels, beer cheese, and men’s short-sleeved shirts.

The Nauti Dawg Marina Café operates from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Customers can enjoy brunch every day until 3 p.m. Starting from Tuesday, Jan. 2, 2024, the café will be open on Tuesdays as well.

Port 32 is a significant owner, operator, developer, and acquirer of an increasing number of marina assets across nine top-tier markets on both Florida coasts. Recently, the company’s new leadership team, which came aboard in late 2022, acquired the Lighthouse Point Marina, making it the first marina purchase under their guidance.
