      Response from Host, Jul 2023
      Dear Libby, It is distressing to hear that you were so unhappy. We were not “oversold” though, the boat is USCG certified for 149 passengers and we were carrying just under 120 guests for the Fireworks sail. We try to communicate clearly, what the experience entails in order to set appropriate expectations for our guests. We are most certainly NOT a dinner boat with a sit-down dining room. The charm and beauty of our vessel is something we are proud of. Our vessel is a replica of the historic Clipper City, the Great Lakes Schooner that sailed from 1854 - 1892. Her ships drawings are archived at the Smithsonian in Wash., DC, and a cross section of her hull is the featured display at the Maritime Museum in Manitowoc, Wisconsin. Please look at our pictures on our website, you will see people sitting on our large ocean-going hatches, our large deck boxes, our benches and capstans, or simply leaning against our railings or full-sized cocktail bar while taking in the epic scale of one of America’s largest passenger sailing ships. We are not a “Dinner Boat” with tables and chairs —nor do we pretend to be. We try very hard to communicate that the experience is aboard a large authentic sailing ship and what that entails. Lastly, our offerings featured a full 5-hour open bar & our menu (copied below) was one of abundance & served by our friendly and capable servers. We take pride in the fresh and tasty food that we served. Provided were (3) welcome Appetizer platters, (6) passed Hors D’oeuvres, a (7) item Main Course, and (4) Dessert options. APPETIZERS Garlic Hummus & Pita Chips Guacamole and Salsa with Nacho Chips Fresh Cut Crudites Basket with Bleu Cheese Dip International Cheese and Fruit Display HORS D’OEUVRES Sesame Skewer with Wasabi Skewers Mozzarella, Tomato & Artichoke Hearts, Pesto Sauce Skewers Jumbo Cocktail Shrimp Skewers Root Vegetable Skewers Ginger-Teriyaki Flank Steak Skewer Miniature Maine Lobster Rolls on Grilled Bun MAIN COURSE Fried Chicken Skewers BBQ Brisket “Sliders” with Buttermilk Slaw Pulled Pork with Buttermilk Cole Slaw Slider Grilled Zucchini “Sliders”, Brie and Roasted Garlic Corn on the Cob Buttermilk Cole Slaw DESSERT Blackberry, Cantaloupe, Pineapple, Honeydew Fruit Kebob Red, White and Blue Mini Cupcakes Fresh Sliced Watermelon SPECIALTY COCKTAILS RED – Red Sangria WHITE – White Absolut Pear and Lemonade BLUE – Blue Cosmo CHILDREN’S MENU Chicken Fingers PB & J on Banana Bread Bags of Chips & Pretzels Individual Cheese Sticks
      Well worth the money to celebrate the 4th of July!
      Rachel_B, Jul 2023
      Great views from the bay, not a sit down meal but plenty of food and drinks, and excellent finale with fireworks.
