The Boatyard Story
Oh I do like to be beside the seaside...
Ahoy, and welcome. My name is Robin, and along with my mother Joan, and sister Laura, we are the founders of the Boatyard Restaurant. After months of planning, interior designing and refurbishment, coinciding with one of the worst winter snow falls the island has experienced in decades, we opened the Boatyard in the spring of 2013.
Situated on Peel’s historic quayside the Boatyard enjoys views of the bustling marina, working harbour and ancient castle offering you the perfect spot to relax over a delicious lunch or candlelit evening meal. Fresh seafood from local boats and local meat from the Islands finest butchers is prepared daily by our talented chefs and served to you by our friendly Boatyard team.
The Mowat family are established hospitality professionals with considerable experience spanning over 50 years, having owned hotel and restaurant businesses in the UK and Isle of Man. Moving to the Isle of Man in 2005, the family took the reins of Tanroagan in Douglas transforming it to become one of the islands top seafood restaurants. In 2012, the family opened the Swiss House Restaurant in Glen Helen, with the islands first Charcoal Grill Oven as its main feature. Our latest venture has been to open the islands first fully plant-based café/restaurant in the former Tanroagan premises. Opened in 2022, it has set the trend and become the go to place for plant-based dining.
On behalf of the Mowat family and the Boatyard team, we look forward to welcoming you to the Boatyard Restaurant whether its your first time or returning.
The Isle of Man's Speciality Seafood Restaurant

Our relaxed coastal inspired dining room offers guests a choice of seasonal à la carte menus and daily chef specials, which may include local lobsters (seasonal), Niarbyl crab, queenies, king scallops, and fish.
