Slipaway Food Truck Park & Marina is under construction at 1811 Cape Coral Parkway E. at the foot of the Cape Coral Bridge. The waterfront destination will feature 10 food trucks, 30 boat slips and a fuel dock. The space will accommodate regular seating for 300 guests and up to 500 guests for special events. The concept plans to offer live music, shady outdoor seating pavilions and a nod to the endangered smalltooth sawfish, a Caloosahatchee River native. The first part of construction included dredging Mandolin Canal, installing a new seawall, establishing foundations for all eight buildings and structures and beginning ground-up work on the Central Pavilion, which will offer 154 seats and a waterfront bar. Now, teams are beginning construction on the Ship’s Store behind the fuel dock, which will offer grab-and-go beverages and Slipaway merchandise. The park also will feature a 120-spot parking lot and 1,370 feet of boardwalk paths. It’s slated for completion in spring 2025.
