Known as a worldwide fishing destination with Thursday night sunset celebrations, Sailfish Marina Resort has officially re-opened after COVID-19. 

Indoor seating is available for 25% capacity per county rules, and there is plenty of ample outdoor seating at their recently added tiki bar. Known as a hot spot for Northern Palm Beach locals, as well as visitors in the fishing and yachting community, we can now sip on libations and eat island-inspired dishes in the open outdoors again. In true South Florida fashion, the bar embraces an island vibe with tiki torches, Adirondack chairs, wood-burned fish designs, and enough margarita machines to keep Jimmy Buffet at the dock.
