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!

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.

The captain and mate were very helpful, explained how to fish, and knew a lot about the wildlife. The tour can hold 49 and there was 14 on the boat so there was plenty of personal interaction.

They instructed us to ensure we caught fish. In speaking to Chuck, he's fished the waters around Cape May for 30+ years and had the opportunity to acquire the boat when the former owner retired, which he did. The captain put us on the reefs or wrecks that held sea bass and croakers. The crew was encouraging to us and our daughters and all of us caught fish, which the crew cleaned and filleted for us expertly. The fish we caught was breaded that evening and made for a delicious and memorable dinner with our girls when we got home. Many of the patrons on the boat were repeat customers. Rod rentals were reasonably priced and did the trick. A few notes, this is a smaller sized fishing boat so if it's rough on the day you head out, you're going to feel it. The day we went out the weather and surf was fine so no issues. There isn't a ton of shade on the boat so bring a hat and sunscreen. There are separate restrooms for men and women. Besides our daughters, there were a number of women on the boat, who all seemed to have a good time.

A couple of notes we agree…read morewould help families choosing outings going forward: (1) The crew is indeed very professional, friendly, and helpful - a real plus. (2) The boat is also clean and there are two restrooms as promised. (3) The 9-3 trip was attended by 50 people and it made for a very crowded boat- shoulder to shoulder at the rails, with very little indoor/shaded seating. (4) 90% of the crowd on our boat were not vacationing Cape May families but men who reported they drove many hours to come and join this trip. That's no big deal in and of itself, however, they behaved in ways that made the trip quite uncomfortable at times. In particular several chain smoked throughout the trip, several spoke loudly in very sexist ways about women, and one man told a decidedly racist joke (ending with a noose and a Black man) very loudly in front of my kids. With just a tiny number of women on the boat, a couple kids, and virtually no people of color, it was a challenging situation. (5) This is a trip for people with strong stomachs and sea legs. I've done quite a bit of fishing and whale watching in the last 5 years but never seen the boat rock like this one did. Dramamine didn't stand a chance and my family spent most of the trip in the bathroom. Unfortunately the clean bathrooms are equipped with rough metal dispensers - the paper towels clogged and wouldn't come out at all, and I sliced my hand trying to extract the toilet paper. Please note that I've said nothing about fish. Several people caught a few and we got one. That's not a big deal- we've been on great trips without catching anything. Our reflections on the day and our general feelings of disappointment are about the issues above, not the catch rate. Hopefully describing all of this will help you make a good match for you on your next trip!
