At The BoatHouse, we’re on a mission to offer the best, freshest sushi, seafood and raw bar in St. Augustine. The inspiration behind our food comes from a family with three generations of seafood retail and wholesale experience, and a passion for fishing that runs as deep as the waters off Florida’s coast. We feature an extensive seafood + sushi menu, oyster bar, and signature cocktails. Plus, join us for Saturday & Sunday Brunch 10:30am-2pm.

Beautiful place, the inside is gorgeous with many places to sit along with friendly servers. The food was delicious and looked amazing! My family went for brunch and the beignets were amazing, I’d recommend it to anyone stopping by for brunch. We only had from the brunch menu but it all looked so amazing we’re coming back to try more.

The Boathouse in St. Augustine is an absolute gem. Me and my sisters celebrated our birthday dinner, and from the moment we walked in, the customer service was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming—old-school hospitality done right. The food? Outstanding. Fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Every bite delivered. And let’s talk about the atmosphere: relaxed, beautiful, and perfectly coastal without trying too hard. It’s the kind of place where you can actually enjoy your meal, your company, and the moment. If you’re in St. Augustine and looking for great food, great service, and a great vibe, The Boathouse is a must. We’ll definitely be back.

The Boathouse St. Augustine
160 Nix Boat Yard Rd, St. Augustine, FL 32084
Perched along the intracoastal waterway, The Boathouse St. Augustine captures everything you want from a true Florida waterfront dining experience—fresh flavors, relaxed elegance, and views that linger long after the meal is over. With marsh grasses swaying, boats gliding by, and sunsets painting the sky in soft golds and pinks, this is the kind of place where time naturally slows down.
The menu strikes a beautiful balance between coastal classics and creative flair. Fresh seafood is the star, whether it’s expertly prepared crab cakes, pristine raw bar selections, or thoughtfully crafted sushi that rivals many dedicated sushi spots. Each dish arrives vibrant, fresh, and full of flavor, clearly made with care rather than shortcuts. Vegetarian options are equally well-considered, ensuring there’s something satisfying for every palate. Weekend brunch adds another layer of appeal, making it a destination from morning to night.
The expansive outdoor deck—with its inviting fire pit—sets the tone for easygoing sophistication, while live music and a well-stocked full bar keep the atmosphere lively without ever feeling overwhelming. Service is polished yet warm, attentive without hovering, and genuinely welcoming—exactly what you hope for in a place that sees both locals and visitors alike.
With ample parking, excellent food, and consistently great service, The Boathouse isn’t just a meal—it’s an experience. Whether you’re stopping in for sunset cocktails, a seafood-forward dinner, or a laid-back brunch by the water, this St. Augustine gem delivers every time.

Recently, we celebrated my husband’s 40th birthday celebration at The Boathouse. The manager, early on, was nice and extremely accommodating in helping me plan for a group of eleven kids and fifteen adults. We were blessed to have Carson as our server! He was very helpful in getting everything set up. He took everyone’s order in a timely manner, was knowledgeable about the menu, and kept us hydrated. He made sure everything was perfect for my husband’s celebration, and he was so good dealing with our kids. We couldn’t have asked for a better server. We all had a wonderful time!

Thank you Julie, AJ at the bar and Mike who manages the kitchen staff. My husband tipped the kitchen staff – food was all that! This is an awesome local hangout and if you’re visiting St. Augustine get an Uber/Lyft please stop by at 4 so you can get a happy hour drinks and a few appetizers before dinner. Make sure you sit outside when the weather’s good to feed the mascot kitty too. The food is great, service is great and the atmosphere is equally great. Our lobster ravioli and stuffed grouper was the bomb! Please stop by!

Beautiful location!! Would love to come back here in the summer to sit outside. Great view of marsh out back from where we sat. Waiter was attentive. Even though they didn’t have sushi or steak available the evening that we visited, we were able to find something for everyone. Food was fresh, not greasy, and light. I recommend the salmon dinner!!

Finally got around to posting a review after our 4th visit here. First and foremost, our serves Sarah and Mary M. were absolutely fantastic and on point. The ambiance here is always superb.
I choose the pick 2 every time I’m here. The trigger fish and mahi mahi blackened have always been full of flavor and perfectly cooked. As well as the bacon collard greens. The shrimp and cheese tortellini is my girlfriend’s favorite, she looks forward to it every trip.
If you are a struggling local restaurant owner, you need to eat here. You will see what a quality, well executed restaurant is supposed to operate like. Their food will teach you a lot. From the staff, the settings, the food and beyond this place blows every other spot out of the water.
If you don’t eat here you don’t know what you’re missing. Great spot for a date, quick meal, or any other reason to eat fish period. Can’t wait to come back.

Had a Wonderful evening at the BoatHouse! My family and I shared the grilled grouper nuggets and chargrilled oysters both were excellent! For dinner we each had the Tuesday night shrimp special which was also amazing, but what topped the night off was the unbelievable service we got from our bartender AJ. He was very attentive, gave great suggestions and an overall nice guy who really gives great customer service. Thank you AJ!
PS the Bread Pudding is FABULOUS!
