The 16 Best Waterside Restaurants to Eat at on Your PWC Trip this Summer

Nothing works up an appetite like a day on the water riding my Sea-Doo GTX S 155 watercraft. So I’m always on the lookout for a PWC accessible eatery to stop for a bite and a break. Of course, the first thing I look for is a restaurant that has an on-site or adjacent place to dock and that can be a challenge. Next, I want a decent menu with tasty food and quick service so we can get back to riding without much delay.

Over the years, I’ve found quite a few locations that have both. Bearing in mind that my selections shouldn’t be considered restaurant reviews, here are some of my waterfront favourites, including my subjective PWC dock rating (where 1 is poor and 5 is excellent).
