The Residents and visitors of Jacksonville can prepare themselves for a new flavor in town. Captain Sandy Yawn and partner Chad Quist have decided on a name and finalized plans for their new restaurant located at 618 West Adams Street.
Working with renowned architect Brooke Robins on the 3-story renovation of Historic Fire Station #4, originally opened in 1914, she has precisely captured Captain Sandy’s vision. Floorplans and renderings for the new design are pictured below and on her social media.
The restaurant will be named ‘Maritime 618’ and will boast a nautical theme, for obvious reasons. It will feature exclusive yacht style cuisine and presentations of intercontinental seafood and cultural fares.
This unique approach offers a diversified dining experience, prepared by internationally known guest chefs, fusing delicious flavorings with innovative techniques and flair. The restaurant will also offer an expanded teaching kitchen designed by noted restaurateur Beverly Grant, and will be utilized to certify qualified culinary students interested in entering the maritime industry.
“I fell in love with Jacksonville. I saw the awesome potential of this beautiful Downtown hub, its world class waterways, and of course an exclusive dining and entertainment experience. I wanted to be a part of it. The people here are welcoming and gracious, and I want to meet every one of them. What better way than to open ‘Maritime 618’?”
Jacksonville Mayor Lenny Curry, who worked with her entire team and appreciates her admiration and enthusiasm said, “Jacksonville continues to grow and attract new business and exciting entrepreneurs like Captain Sandy and Chad Quist. We are grateful they chose to open “Maritime 618” in our City and we wish them much success. We also look forward to working with Captain Sandy on future projects to enhance development and economic growth in the heart of Downtown Jacksonville.”
"Visit Jacksonville is thrilled to welcome this new and exciting addition to our Downtown dining scene and we cannot wait to show off this historic location to visitors from across the globe!" said Michael Corrigan, President and CEO of Visit Jacksonville. "Captain Sandy's vision for 'Maritime 618' matches our passion and enthusiasm for Jacksonville and our Downtown's development. This will be a great resource for our organization and city as we promote Jacksonville to the world."
"Captain Sandy is a truly good person. I have known her for almost 30 years and she has always loved helping others. She has been supporting our most vulnerable in Jacksonville for many years through her philanthropic work with the 'Jacksonville School for Autism', established by her sister Michelle Dunham. We are all most grateful for her continued efforts, advocacy and compassion."
“I hope to continue to invest in Jacksonville and brand it a future destination for Super Yachts and all recreational vessels. The pride and potential in this vibrant city is infectious.”
