About Us

Locally Owned

ESTABLISHED 2004

The Therien family started in the restaurant business in 1971. The first Banana Boat opened in September 1971, in Fort Lauderdale, on Commercial Blvd east of U.S.1. John Therien and his sons, Pierre, Luke and Gilles, moved the Banana Boat to Boynton Beach in 1978, on Ocean Avenue and the Intracoastal Waterway.

Prime Catch opened on June 1, 2004 to rave reviews. Zagat rated Prime Catch “Best New Restaurant in Palm Beach County” after its first year. Restaurant reviews have continued to praise Prime Catch for being the first important fine dining destination to arrive in Boynton Beach. Prime Catch is known to have the freshest fish in the area, along with a new approach to flavors and ambiance.

The Theriens are completely dedicated to the restaurant business. They support the community through fundraisers, the Chamber of Commerce, and are loyal to their customers, staff, and vendor partners.

General Manager

Amy Potter

Amy Potter began with Prime Catch in May 2016. She worked as a Server, then Captain,
then quickly moved into Management. Amy has been General Manager since 2023.

Amy grew up in Wooster, Ohio, and Graduated from the University of Cincinnati. Amy’s first career took her into Retail Fashion, as a Buyer.

Amy’s energy level eventually pulled her away from Retail Buying, and into the Hospitality
business. She began by working and learning in the corporate chains while steadily moving
into Upscale Dining. Amy’s appreciation of high-end wines motivated her to work full-time as a Wine Consultant for three years, before getting back into upscale hospitality.

After moving to Boynton Beach in 1999, she and her husband were frequent “Sunday Brunch”
guests at Prime Catch. It just felt natural to her that in 2016 she would become a
team member at Prime Catch. Amy’s past experience in the wine industry has helped
Prime Catch to develop an outstanding wine program. And Amy’s passion for M’aitre D’ style
hospitality ensures that every Guest has a memorable dining experience.
