It also offers slips for day boaters visiting any of the three HM Restaurant Group restaurants along the wharf.<\/p>\n<p>HM Restaurant Group operates Bonita Fish Company, Dixie Fish Co. and Doc Ford\u2019s Rum Bar and Grille, at Fisherman\u2019s Wharf.<\/p>\n<p>The company will begin accepting long- and short-term rental reservations and leases starting Wednesday, April 1. The marina offers full water hookups and will introduce power this summer. It does not accept liveaboards. Rates will be available in the coming weeks at bonitafishco.com\/marina and the Dockwa app. The marina opens as boaters face limited availability of slips in prime coastal areas, particularly with direct Gulf access.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_3760-400x300.jpg\"  alt=\"article image\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption\">Joe Harrity, a partner in HM Restaurant Group, which owns Bonita Fish Company.
