Boating to lunch at First Round Draft, Cape Coral
Windy day in SW Florida but that’s not stopping us from taking the boat for lunch at a dock and dine!
We’re taking our dog Matey with us to a local waterfront restaurant we have never been to in Cape Coral off the Caloosahatchee river called First around Draft.
Our 2019 Regal XO with 300 hp will make a short trip of this run through the river and canals to the sports bar that has ample docking for boats of all sizes.
The restaurant is accessed by taking marker 58 on the river into the Chantrey canal, passed Rosen Park and marina and onto the Honolulu canal where the docks are right at the bridge for Delprado Blvd. it’s a nice ride not the Cape Coral Canal system with no bridges and deep water.

Enjoyed the ride in the New Digs. Thanks for having me along.
You guys are so lucky. I live in Atlanta I dreamed for my whole life that I can live in Florida I have a cabin cruiser boat to go fishing on
The new boat is like a sports car - perfect for the quick trips for a lunch bite! I enjoy your content very much! We have freezing temps and lots of snow right now, making me miss FL even more.
That was a nice day trip on your Regal
That traffic jam looks like the LIE east bound to jones beach lol
You guys are so dam funny.
Aussie on the boat 🛥️!!!! Priceless 😊
I started out boating with a 1995 20' Starcraft bowrider and then went up to a 34' Silverton Convertible so that I could stay aboard. I loved that boat because it was roomy and had plenty of room for me to stay aboard. I got 3 footitist and moved up to a 41' Silverton Convertible, and while it was great to stay on it was a nightmare to take out. I needed a crew of two to take that boat out so sold her and moved down to a 2000 SeaRay 340 Sundancer....I love this boat. I need to get my video edited and uploaded to my channel. Take care!

Lovely had the pleasure of going to Cape Coral twice nice boat we stayed on the canals both times.
Congrats on the new boat! Consider me a bit jealous of the weather, it was 19F here in East TN this morning....ugh.
Beautiful new boat ! Congratulations! Gives you more flexibility. My comment is that I never like to see a cruiser on plane with their walk-thru windshield open. Mine slammed shut in the wind one time. I never cruised without closing it again.

Thanks! Luckily I never had that happen. There is a magnet that holds the window open pretty securely, But a strong wind gust or wave at speed may send it flying!
Love seeing the same boat that we have 💜… can’t wait to see your boat parade video . Have y’all thought about going up to Tampa for Gasparilla?

Great video. We are looking to vacation in Cape Coral this winter. We are looking to get a house with a dock/boat lift and enjoy the canals. Nice to know there are dock side restaurants that allow dogs as we will have ours. Could you recommend a web site that will give us info on pet friendly places in the area? Aloha

Nearly every restaurant on the water with outdoor seating is pet friendly. Here is a website that lists all the waterfront restaurants in the area. nauticalmilemagazine.com/restaurants

lol. Matey went nuts every time I was editing that part of video.
We just spent a 4 day Thanksgiving trip to Pelican Bay, enjoy. ❤️ Our last boat (before the PDQ) was as a 27’ Regal with twin I/Os with the same layout as yours. I got tired of seeing where we have been looking back, but I sure was comfortable. Tell Brigette to get a booster seat to see where you are going. 🙃 that is what I did.

Brigitt always faces aft. No booster needed. lol
A coworker of mine and his family had a bad experience there. They asked a question about their meal, the owner stepped in and asked them to leave.
Would like to see the restaurants you stop at.

Is the new boat a 2019 leftover? Sure is a nice looking, boat! Matey has found his lookout spots and jumps from cushion to cushion. Bridjit looks comfy laying there. You can get to places a lot quicker. The Regal is a winner!

It certainly has enough power for us. Topped out at 42 before we loaded it up. High 30’s now. But we rarely go over 28 so life is good. Porpoising is easily controlled but adjusting motor trim.

Our 30lb terrier fell off the bow at night while pulling the anchor if it wasn’t for his vest it would be very difficult to get a wet dog back onboard the wife hooked his vest handle very easy. Other boaters where yelling as we didn’t even know he fell we where Underway already. We’ll look for you as we pass pelican bay heading to cabbage key Sat enjoy
