How BYOB Dining Works at the Marina

You bring your bottles, the restaurant provides glassware, ice, and mixers for sangria kits or pour-over cocktails, and the kitchen focuses on delivering Caribbean flavors without the markup associated with full-bar restaurants. The sangria pitcher kits include fresh fruit, mixers, and garnishes; you add wine and the table assembles the pitcher together. Pour-over cocktails follow a similar model, where the restaurant supplies tonic, juice, or soda while you provide vodka, rum, or gin.


Caribbean Pete's builds the BYOB experience into the pacing of the meal, with waterfront tables positioned to catch bay breezes and lighthouse views during evening hours. You'll notice the relaxed atmosphere encourages lingering, with groups staying through sunset and beyond as bottles empty and appetizers turn into entrees. The marina setting accommodates both car arrivals and boaters docking directly through Key Harbor Marina.


The BYOB policy applies to all seating areas, including outdoor waterfront tables and indoor dining spaces, with no corkage fees or bottle limits beyond responsible service standards. Groups celebrating milestones or gathering for social nights often coordinate bottle selections in advance to share across the table.
