Many Venues, Many Menus

Often overlooked by Sarasota locals, Marina Jack offers a wide range of dining options with water views that are tough to beat.

 projects a high profile presence on the Sarasota Bay front but at times may be overlooked as a dining destination by Sarasota locals. With three different dining venues on land and one on the water on board the Marina Jack II, dining options range from the casual to more formal with menu selections and prices adjusting accordingly.

The Marina Jack’s restaurants are as follows:

Marina Jack II: Lunch and dinner cruises on the well appointed ship

For this review, we chose the Deep Six Lounge and ordered the following:

  • Topped Golden Pineapple Salad: Your choice of salad toppings served over sliced golden pineapple and accompanied with seasonal fruit and sweet bread. Tuna or chicken $12.95/Seafood salad $15.95
    Sweet, fresh, refreshing and delicious; perfect for a hot summer’s day lunch.
  • Deluxe Club: Triple decker club featuring fresh turkey, ham, lettuce, tomato and crisp bacon. All sandwiches include french fries and pickle spear. $9.95
    A classic, nice presentation, good sized portion, very tasty.
  • Spinach Portabella Flatbread: Grilled portabella mushrooms, sautéed spinach, artichokes and mozzarella, topped with toasted pine nuts. $13.95
    The flatbread is like a thin cracker with all the tasty toppings; pre-cut into bite size pieces
  • Sweet and Spicy Duck Flatbread: Citrus marinated charbroiled duck breast topped with spicy dragon sauce, gorgonzola cheese and mango. $13.95
    Very flavorful, a great appetizer or light meal option.


Marina Jack offers a full bar service, beer, wine and soft drinks to accompany your meal. We found the wait staff to be very friendly, accommodating and attentive. 

For casual outdoor or indoor dining with a view of the marina and Sarasota Bay, the Deep Six Lounge at Marina Jack’s is a spot worth considering.
