Question

If I have any dietary restrictions, can I make a special request?

Answer

To allow guests to walk around the boat and enjoy the beautiful views indoors and outdoors, dinner will be a mix of heavy hors d'oeuvres (passed and plated) as well as a smaller sit down dinner, late night sliders + a mac n cheese bar, and of course cake! Everything will however be nut and seafood free.

Question

Will I get seasick on the boat?

Answer

The yacht cruises in calmer waters in the Chesapeake Bay, so the motion is minimal and usually unnoticeable.
