We booked our initial meeting with Kristin on a Saturday in October for a a potential wedding date the following September. When we told people we were going to meet with Kristin and potentially hold our wedding at CYCCM we received so many raving reviews that we were initially skeptical that she could be that wonderful. Well, she IS that wonderful and we were completely satisfied with every aspect of the venue and her services. Kristin is extremely professional and uniquely approachable from the minute you meet with her you realize that you are in the best possible hands for your big day! Kristin listened to our interest and concerns and built out a perfect day for us. She offered great recommendations and were happy to have Kristin's expertise providing feedback. I don't even know where to start with a review of the venue as Kristin and Harry offered such a fantastic experience for us and for our guests. I will attempt to break it down below but know that you have to see and experience for yourself. The venue The venue is spectacular for a small, intimate wedding. You can't get a better location than on the bay with the setting sun. We were able to get some fantastic pictures based on the views and location. We were looking for more of an elegant party feel for our event and CYCCM was able to deliver. CYCCM offered an intimate dining experience, casual lounge feel with the wicker couches for guest to linger, corn hole, and an amazing fire pit that was a huge hit! We received the most feedback regarding the second floor deck and happy hour. We loved it so much we opted to an hour and half happy hour prior to the event and with the sun setting it felt like we had invited everyone to a tropical getaway. You don't get a better view than that deck overlooking the bay at sunset. The venue has a great flow from the dining area, to the lounging and cocktail areas, to the amazing brick ceremony/ dance floor overlooking the bay. Kristin suggested we get a tent - just in case -and I would say that it was well worth the money and piece of mind given that they called for rain on the day of our event. We live in Cape May in the summer and we are very familiar with other wedding venue locations and have been to a few weddings in Cape May. This was the best experience of them all. The food The hardest part about the food was choosing which fantastic menu to go with from the appetizers, and hors d'oeuvres, to the dinner it feels like you are eating at a fine dining establishment. Harry has been a restauranteur in Cape May for many years and has owned some of the best establishments in Cape May. CYCCM is lucky to have Harry and you will not be disappointed in the food! When we told our parents that we were going to hold our event at CYCCM they were all thrilled. My father mentioned that he still dreams of the Grouper Charleston entrée from one of Harry's restaurants and was extremely happy when they offered it as an option for the event. We received so many complements on the food and how it was presented to the table, how beautifully prepared, and how delicious the food was. Again, Harry and team offered a multi star restaurant experience for one hundred people! Amazing! The experience Kristin and Harry treat their staff extremely well and it shows in the delivery and presentation. Servers were attentive and on top of their game. Bartenders worked with speed and efficiency and with a smile on their face the whole time. The team was also fantastic at transitioning from the ceremony to the reception with ease. The staff were skilled at greeting and directing guests like a well oiled machine. We also received many complements from our guests about how they were treated during the event. When we met with Kristin we told her we wanted a classy but not formal party for our ceremony and reception. Kristin and Harry delivered a special event not just for us but for our family, friends, and all of our guests. Six months after the event people are still talking about the venue, the food, and the service. I recommend Corinthian Yacht Club of Cape May with my highest recommendation. I can't thank Kristin, Harry and team enough for allowing us to host a spectacular event. Cape May is lucky to have such a wonderful venue and crew!

There's plenty to be learned by anyone who goes aboard. The crew is very experienced and highly educated it seems to be a very common experience to find naturalists and bird people among the other passengers onboard. Again, the price is reasonable, if you're buying your tickets online, make sure you know which location you'll be departing from. Lastly, the trip, like the ferry and the tide, waits for no man. Be on time.

Last minute decision to come to Cape May…read more Jumped online and found a reasonable charter at the last moment. Worked out perfectly on a Thursday afternoon. Just the two of us picked the option for fishing. 1pm time. Read the tips to show up an hour early. The boat before us wasn't back yet, and the parking was none. There are maybe 3 businesses sharing one parking area and more businesses fighting for street parking. This was just a little frustrating. Once the boat tour before us came back and left, they get you double parked in their tiny lot. If you don't like that, come early to find street parking. Other than that. This is a bigger charter. You pay a rental for the rod when you purchase your ticket, which includes your fishing license. There are about 25 spots for rods built into the side of the boat, but we were fortunately there was not that many people. Even with only about 15 people on our side, with the drifting the boat does you are guaranteed to get tangled at least once. Thank goodness for Joe and the help on the boat. There in a flash to fix your rod, untangle, or unhook your fish. I can unhook my own bass, but I don't know salt water fish and didn't want to stick my finger in anything I didn't know. You get two cups of bait. They show you how to bait your hook, and once the hour long trip out is over, you do your line and go. The captain was great with getting us on the fish. I caught a couple of flounders, a bunch of bass and a sea Robin! I lost count of how many I caught. We caught lots and got a coupl of keepers. We didn't get the heaviest, but it was close. Bathrooms for all on the boat. Snacks for purchase. Sun shirts for purchase if needed. Be like the cool kids and take a slim rag for after you bait your hook. It's worth the money. If you wanted less people you will be paying more on a different charter. Again a shout out to a great ships crew and their great job. They cleaned our catch and were fun. Thanks for a great time.

This is NOT deep sea fishing -- and you will probably NOT take whatever you catch because it will be too small. But if trawling the 12 foot bay with 2 baited hooks on a basic rod/reel rig with the occasional hit interests you -- this charter could be your thing. The Groupon price point is quite reasonable. Captain Tony is an engaging and hospitable host and his new pontoon style boat is steady and accommodates a dozen plus very comfortably. That's about the complement we had on our morning excursion and this is the first year he is running this boat in Cape May. Top Tip: Great for kids who have never fished before -- they will land something -- we all did -- mostly baby sea bass and mud sharks. The crew is helpful and the experience pleasant.
