Dock-and-Dine from Tierra Verde

- •The Getaway — St Pete Beach area. Tiki bar, casual. Can anchor/dock nearby
- •Doc Ford's Rum Bar — St Pete Pier. Good dock space. Island-inspired seafood
- •Caddy's on the Beach — Treasure Island. Beach bar. Raft up or anchor off the beach
Dock-and-Dine from Tampa
- •Hula Bay Club — ON-SITE at Port32 Tampa. Polynesian-inspired, waterfront. The default post-boating spot
- •Rick's on the River — Hillsborough River. Biker bar meets waterfront. Legendary burgers
- •Ulele — Tampa Riverwalk. Upscale Florida-Native inspired. Dock on the river
- •Salt Shack on the Bay — Bay-to-Bay area. Casual waterfront, live music weekends

By Boat (Worth the Run)
- •Hurricane Seafood — Pass-A-Grille. Institution. Rooftop deck. No dock but anchor off the beach
- •Frenchy's — Clearwater Beach. Touristy but the grouper is legit

- •Dock-and-dine roundup — best options from a specific marina

Port32 Tie-ins
- •Hula Bay Club is literally at Port32 Tampa — that's your post-run default
- •Tierra Verde location = quick run to Pass-A-Grille, St Pete Beach restaurants
- •Valet service means you come back, dock, and walk to dinner. Boat gets flushed and stored
