The Fat Turtle is the meeting place for Fury Charters to Buck Island. It is perfect for lunch after a morning of snorkeling with turtles.

This restaurant looks like a lot of fun from the outside looking in, and probably is when the music gets cranking late at night, but if you are going there for the food, don't go with very high expectations. The atmosphere is great however with it being on the water.

We had the Calypso Calamari, BBQ Chicken (we wanted Jerk but they were out of Jerk seasoning) and the Mac n Cheese. Delish!

A good spot to grab lunch or a snack and beer while checking out the town and shopping at the Yacht Haven Grande.

Food was pretty good but the service and helpfulness of the staff was very poor. Had to ask multiple times for drink refills. Do not recommend due to poor service

Fat turtle was a great place to dine and watch the sunset. We sat on the deck along the water, and were amazed by the fish that swam right up on the rocks. We even saw a 3 foot baracuda! Amazing!!

Decent drinks at a fair price considering the location is on the water at a fancy marina shopping mall... I was a bit surprised when they closed suddenly at midnight, but there a few other popular watering holes within easy walking distance!
