Cap's Place — The Iconic Boat-Only Stop
Cap's Place sits on a tiny island north of the Hillsboro Inlet and is reachable only by boat — including a complimentary water shuttle they run for guests without their own. The Old Florida vibe is unmatched and the seafood is legendary.
Plan a 2–3 hour midday window: cruise from Boca, dock at Cap's, eat slowly, then head out for a Lake Boca sandbar afternoon.

Tips Before You Go
Always call ahead to confirm dock availability — dock spaces are first-come and fill on weekends.
Lunch is easier than dinner — daytime dock turnover is faster.
Tipping the dock attendant is customary.
