Seven years after the award-winning debut of the original Boatyard Restaurant, our team was tasked with a complete restaurant redesign to reflect a more refined, luxurious, and immersive dining experience. The result is Boatyard 2.0 — a dramatic transformation that redefines waterfront dining through thoughtful, high-impact restaurant design.

While honoring its coastal heritage, the updated interior design introduces deeper, richer finishes and bolder architectural features that enhance ambiance and elevate the guest experience. The restaurant’s interior palette is rooted in moody sophistication, with deep navy and charcoal tones, espresso-stained woods, brushed brass accents, and elegant stone and marble surfaces. Luxurious textiles and tactile finishes add comfort and visual intrigue throughout.

Architectural elements were central to the redesign. Sweeping arches, sculptural ceiling treatments, and a striking central bar serve as focal points, creating a sense of movement and layered visual interest. Restaurant lighting design is equally considered — custom ambient fixtures offer warmth and intimacy, enhancing the evening atmosphere and complementing the rich materiality of the space.

The layout embraces a fluid, open-plan concept with clearly defined zones, offering both communal and private dining experiences. Seamless indoor-outdoor transitions preserve the restaurant’s waterfront identity, maintaining its strong connection to the marina and surrounding natural beauty.

Boatyard stands as a new benchmark in coastal restaurant design — a destination that blends modern elegance with timeless nautical influences. It is a sophisticated and enduring reimagining that resonates with loyal patrons and attracts new guests seeking a high-style waterfront dining experience.
