The Marina at Bonita Fish Company names marina manager
HM Restaurant Group has hired Steve Wigfield as the full-time manager for The Marina at Bonita Fish Company, a new 30-slip deep-water facility with direct Gulf access on Fort Myers Beach. As marina manager, Wigfield will oversee full- and part-time rental reservations and marina operations.
“Steve comes to us with eight years of marina management experience in Southwest Florida and understands the nuances of the business,” said Joe Harrity, a partner with HM Restaurant Group which manages Bonita Fish Company. “He is dedicated to providing exceptional customer service.”
Wigfield has worked at Sanibel Marina, Salty Sam’s Marina and most recently Moss Marina, serving in every capacity of operations. He counts boating and fishing among his hobbies.
“I have been on the water my entire life,” said Wigfield. “My favorite thing about working in the marina industry is the customer interaction and satisfaction. The Marina at Bonita Fish Company is setting the bar high and will exceed customer expectations.”
The Marina at Bonita Fish Company elevates the vibrant waterfront experience on Fort Myers Beach and will offer slips for day boaters visiting HM Restaurant Group’s three restaurants along Fisherman’s Wharf, including Doc Ford’s Rum Bar & Grille and Dixie Fish Company. Takeout and dockside food delivery is also available.
The Marina accommodates vessels up to 100 feet and offers full water hookups. It will introduce power this summer. Reservations are available now at bonitafishco.com/marina and on the Dockwa app.
Bonita Fish Company, which opened last fall at the site of the former Bonita Bill’s, is open daily from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. and features fresh Gulf seafood, casual bites and cold drinks. It offers music daily and a large central bar. Located in a century-old former fish-packing house, the restaurant serves brunch Friday through Sunday and offers Bayside Private Events at Bonita Fish Company, an indoor-outdoor waterfront event venue
