Welcome to the Hard Yacht Cafe

Where the Dock Meets the Drinks

Welcome to Hard Yacht Cafe – the locals’ favorite spot on the water for a fantastic bite to eat and a cold drink, where every visitor feels like a regular. Whether you’re arriving by boat or by land, our waterfront vibe and laid-back atmosphere create the perfect escape. Venture to our Tiki bar, pop in for a sunrise brunch, ask about the house-made pickle shot, and enjoy the views of our Key West inspired dock bar.

We're more than just a bar; we’re a community. Our restaurant and marina crew adore our Dundalk regulars, seasonal boaters from all over, and enjoy putting on a good time for a good cause. From live music on the deck and friendly familiar faces, to a unique blend of boat culture and incredible food, Hard Yacht Cafe is your place to kick back, laugh loud, and enjoy the moment.

Come for the drinks, stay for the stories – you’ll always find both here.
