Company Overview

The Dock at Crayton Cove, located in Naples, Florida, is a historic waterfront restaurant that has been a local favorite since its founding in 1976. Known for its relaxed, open-air atmosphere and stunning bay views, The Dock offers award-winning seafood, raw bar selections, and craft cocktails in a casual, boat-accessible setting. It has become a Naples icon, hosting traditions like the Great Dock Canoe Race and welcoming both locals and visitors for decades.
