Rum Runners
Escape, Dine & Unwind
Casual Waterfront Dining
(The above says it all) We absolutely love this place!! I love to take the family, friends and clients here by water. The greatest feeling is to pull out of your canal with cocktails and hors d’oeuvres and cruise down the river nice and slow enjoying every minute. Watching the sky turn a brilliant redish/orange color as the sun begins to set. Once the sun has set, we cruise up to Rum Runners and dock. Depending on the time of year, there is normally a wait. You can call ahead for reservations (542-0200). This place is well worth the wait. The atmosphere is second to none and the food and service is outstanding. You can dine outside on the water or inside. I think you will truly love the entire feel of Rum Runners.

If there is a wait, the fuel dock is right next door. Fuel up your boat while waiting. Please remember, it will be dark by the time dinner a dessert is over. Be sure you are comfortable driving your vessel home at night. Things to remember, bring your spot light.

How do you get there?
This is easy. Coming from Cape Coral Yacht Club, get into the ICW and head towards the mouth of the river. As soon as you get to the slow zone, look to your right, there is a series of red and green markers. Follow these markers in as if you were going to Tarpon Point. Make a left when you get to the rock/Mangrove jetty. Follow the markers down around the corner and you will see Rum Runners. Boat smart and have a great time!!
