Opening to follow Slipaway’s inaugural Fourth of July Bash
Slipaway Food Truck Park & Marina announces its opening weekend as Cape Coral’s first food truck park and marina.
Located at the base of the Cape Coral Bridge at 1811 Cape Coral Parkway E., the waterfront destination features 10 on-site food trucks, a full-service bar, shaded seating options, 30 boat slips, a fuel dock, Gift Store, unobstructed views of the Caloosahatchee River and more.
Slipaway is kicking off its opening weekend with its inaugural Fourth of July Bash, a ticketed Independence Day celebration with a portion of proceeds to benefit the Tunnels to Towers Foundation and offering a prime view of Cape Coral’s Red, White and Boom fireworks display, live music, giveaways, food and drink offerings and more. The event will take place from 3 to 10 p.m. and general admission tickets are available online for $100.
Slipaway will open officially to the public for regular service beginning Saturday, July 5 at 4 p.m. Daily hours following opening weekend will include bar hours from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. and food truck service from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Situated on 3.1 acres, Slipaway is a destination for residents and visitors to gather with friends, family and pets to enjoy delicious food, ice cold drinks, live music and more with a waterfront view. With 30 public boat slips and more than 100 parking spaces for visitors traveling by car or by water, Slipaway is the perfect spot for boaters to fill up at the fuel dock, grab a bite to eat and purchase essentials such as ice, sunscreen, sunglasses and more at the Gift Store. The fuel dock will operate daily from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
As Cape Coral’s premier destination for outdoor fun and entertainment, Slipaway offers daily live music and entertainment with a stunning view of the Caloosahatchee, along with special events and festivals scheduled throughout the year.
The 10 on-site food trucks are locally owned and operated and offer a wide variety of options, curated with all appetites and preferences in mind. Food trucks include Addison’s Chicken SWFL, Chop it Up Food Truck, Gigi Gourmet, Greek Spot Go, Lobster Chef Food Truck, Not Yo Mama’s Tacos, Philly Express, SmokeStream BBQ, The Crooked Cow and Yunta Cuban Food Truck. Visitors can conveniently order drinks from the full-service bar and food from the food trucks directly or via a QR code from the comfort of one of the 300 available seats. Slipaway food runners are available to deliver orders directly to the table.
The unique concept is led by owners Jeff Miloff, Gary Aubuchon, Scott Fischer, Sandra Dean, John Kulhavi, Chuck McGuirk and Rick McGuirk. Bringing a combined 100 years of living and working in Cape Coral and Southwest Florida, leadership created a concept that emphasizes features that make the region special. Slipaway’s logo sports a smalltooth sawfish, paying homage to one of the creatures native to the Caloosahatchee River waters and celebrating the beauty that the region has to offer.
“We love Cape Coral, and we are so happy to provide this one-of-a-kind experience for families and friends to celebrate and enjoy great food and drinks, incredible views and our Southwest Florida waterfront lifestyle,” says Gary Aubuchon, co-owner of Slipaway Food Truck Park & Marina. “We’re hitting the ground running with some exciting events right away, like our Fourth of July Bash, a great live music calendar and more.”
