Capt. Sandy Yawn‘s Nautical Ambitions
Known for her adventures on luxury yachts, Yawn isn’t limiting her endeavors to the sea. She made headlines with her plans to open a nautical-themed restaurant in Jacksonville’s LaVilla area. The former tire store at 618 W. Adams St. is set to transform into Maritime 618, a project eagerly anticipated since Yawn’s acquisition of the building in June 2020 for $185,000.
Initially slated for a 2021 debut, Maritime 618 faced unexpected challenges, leading to its demolition in March 2023 due to extensive disrepair. Yawn, along with business partner Chad Quist, sought investors for the estimated $5 million project in 2021. The maritime618.com website, while hinting at a November 2021 opening, leaves fans awaiting further updates.
