Hey 👋 friends - we figured it was time to give you all an update since moving. 📦 Our leaders are working everyday to secure a permanent new home. 🏠

We have been actively seeking relocation to our Bayshore property on Charlotte Harbor. The team is working diligently to secure the necessary entitlements and permits needed to move forward with that location.

The kindness and support our community has shown us during this transition has meant so much to us. Good things take time, and we believe in our Smuggler's team and our community. 🙏

We miss all of the good times and memories made with you all! We especially miss working with our staff that truly was a big crazy family 💙 - which has honestly been the hardest part of these last six months.

Thank you for sharing & donating to the two employee GoFundMe's that we have posted (see links in comments) supporting Kerri's breast cancer 🎀 journey and our dear friend Ari's funeral costs. 😔

Lastly, our End of an Era shirts are available for purchase online with a new reduced price. YES - we still have many goodies to shop for 🔗 smugglers.com/collections/tee-shirts

Visit our sister restaurants Laishley Crab House, Punta Gorda, FL, Harpoon Harry's Crab House Pigeon Forge & Harpoon Harry's Crab House - Tampa. Please continue to follow our page for updates. 💙

Thank you to everyone who has left kind messages, shared memories, and donated to Ari's GoFundMe. ❤️ Ari had made such a positive impact on our community and he will be sorely missed.😔

Our team is seeking donations to help offset the costs of laying Ari to rest 🕊, which his dear friend Josh has assumed the sole responsibility. It will help with legal fees, shipping his belongings, cremation and a service. If there are extra donations, it will be given to his family overseas.

Any size donation or share of Ari's GoFundMe is appreciated. 🙏 We do not have any updates for a memorial at this time.

If you have it in your heart, we are seeking donations to help with unexpected costs needed to put Ari to rest. 🕊

His family is overseas in Indonesia, and cannot travel or assist with Ari's untimely passing. His dear friend, Josh Concia, has accepted the responsibility and ultimate act of love and service for a friend to care for the final arrangements of Ari.

We will announce more information of a memorial for Ari in the near future. Thank you for your help, and please keep Ari's friends and family in your thoughts and prayers. We love you, Ari. ❤️

We are saddened to share that our good friend, Ari, has recently passed. Many of you … Gretchen Young needs your support for Assist with Ari's Funeral Costs

We are saddened 😔 to share that our good friend, Ari, has recently passed. 🕊 Many of you will recognize the name, and most certainly, you will recognize his smile. ✨️

He was a part of our family at Captain's Table for more than two decades. Ari's personality and laugh lit up the room. He made guests feel comfortable and well taken care of with such ease and fun! It was no surprise that he had many regulars over the years. His energy was magnetic. Everyone loved working with him, and we were so fortunate to have Ari on our team. ❤️

Our thoughts are with those who knew him best. Our prayers go to his friends, family and sincere condolences to his new wife. May his memory be a blessing to you all. 🙏

If you have any memories or photos of Ari, please share them. We love you, Ari. 🤍🪽

One of the last events held in our Conquistador room at Captain's Table. It was a fun bourbon tasting 🥃 that we had last fall before hurricane Milton came.

We were in love with the tablescape created by our events manager, Michelle.

We miss you Michelle & we miss our team! ❤️
