Sunday Soup and Sandwich (or Salad) Cruise on July 6, 13, 20, 27
Board 12:00 Noon. Sail 12:30-2:00. $25/$15
Every year we try to come up with something new and different. Many of our guests have been coming for years and look forward to our latest imaginings! Instead of pizza we decided to try soup and sandwich (or salad) on Sundays during July. Chef Jim’s soups are to die for and some people just can’t make a dinner cruise to enjoy his soups. So…..we’re making his soups available during the day- on Sundays in July. There are only 4 Sundays in July so it will be a challenge to decide menus. Chef Jim will decide amongst these options. Call the office or check our website to find out what he’s preparing on a particular Sunday in July!
