Unlike any Restaurant in Chaguaramas

Join us aboard Spectrum for a lovely full-service 

 2-3 hour sunset dinner cruise to Scotland Bay.  

Unlike any restaurants in Chaguaramas, we always leave the dock and cruise to our dinner location in Scotland Bay. Here we drop anchor in the calm water and begin a 3-course  dinner that can be casual or romantic. After the dessert course, we again set sail to view the amazing sunsets on which the islands are known.

Spectrum is a fully air-conditioned 48-foot Italian yacht. Entering through a sliding glass door, a cherry entertainment cabinet is to port in the salon and a circular settee set around a cherry dining table is opposite. Of course, there are modern washroom facilities with luxury finishes. 

DINNER CRUISE OPTIONS

We offer three delightful options for our sunset cruises:

1. Option One: *2-Hour Full Dinner Cruise*

Birthdays, engagements or anniversaries, Milestones

This is the perfect way to celebrate a boyfriend's or girlfriend's birthday or even a wedding anniversary. It's such a romantic way to spend an evening out with your loved one.  

When events roll around, most people expect to receive ordinary types of presents. Flowers for anniversaries, chocolates for Mother’s Day, jewelry for birthdays. While those items all have their place and time, they’re unlikely to be treasured the way a memory would be.

Many people would love to visit restaurants in Chaguaramas to see the sunset, but to see it while on a yacht is a far better option and Spectrum Charters presents the perfect opportunity to do just that.   Why not go for a lovely sunset cruise and enjoy a romantic dinner for 2 or an intimate dinner for 4. For that reason, you could absolutely shock your special someone with a wonderful dinner on a luxury yacht the next time you see a celebration on the calendar.

A Few Tips Before Hosting or Attending Dinner Cruises

While planning our the best food is a major key to a great night, these ideas may help elevate your night even more!

• Will you serve an alcoholic drink? We like a glass of champagne when boarding and a bottle of wine chilling for dinner.
• Will you have any live entertainment or live music?
• Do you have foul-weather gear just in case you hit rough seas?
• Think about food safety. Do any of your food options need to be refrigerated, or can they be kept at room temperature?
• Do you need any kitchen appliances?
• If you’re going at sunset, another good idea is to bring a blanket or sweater.
• Do you plan on seeing anything? For example humpback whales or specific landmarks like the Empire State Building.
• If you’re wanting to keep the meal simple, lunch cruises are a great option! You could serve sandwiches with pasta salad!

The best thing about dinner on a boat is that you can make it what you want! You can plan a fine dining experience with lobster and white wine, or you can do beer or soft drinks and hot dogs after a hot day exploring!

Some of the most delicious meals are because of the memories attached to them!

We hope these ideas help you get out of your comfort zone and have an amazing night on the water!

Even the best restaurants in NYC can’t compare to the experience of eating out on the water, and most of these dinner cruises offer prix-fixe menus or buffet meals on enormous three-level ships, sailing taverns and ritzy yachts. Whichever you choose, the ambience just can’t be beaten. Bon voyage – and bon appetit, too!

Best dinner cruises in NYC

1.  bateaux new york dinner cruises.

Departing from Chelsea Piers, Bateaux offers frazzled New Yorkers a relaxing three-hour, three-course getaway cruise along the Hudson. Pair a romantic view of the Manhattan skyline from a glass-enclosed deck with a veritable feast: Entrées include dishes like miso-glazed cod with oyster mushrooms and sugar snap peas and jumbo lump crab cakes with corn succotash. Sip on cocktails, wine and beer from a fully loaded cash bar while live jazz musicians provide the soundtrack for a twinkly evening aboard this dinner cruise.

Where is it?   Head to   Pier 61 South, Chelsea Piers. Budget range?   A pretty decent price to see this dazzling city lit up as you float along it. Time Out Tip:   There's a semi-formal dress code for this floating shindig, so skip the sandals and bring a tie. 

2.  North River Lobster Company

• Hell's Kitchen

Seriously. What could beat tucking into a buttery lobster roll while enjoying peaking sunsets over the Hudson? If this sounds like your vibe, then get ready to kick back at this floating three-deck lobster shack, spanning 9,000 square feet between the outdoor top deck and bi-level interior dining space and lounge. Set off on a two-hour cruise headed to the Statue of Liberty, while enjoying a menu featuring a raw bar and fresh New England seafood like Maine lobster, fish tacos and clam chowder. Pair your meal with red and white wine selections, bottled beers and summery signature cocktails served by the glass or pitcher.

Where is it? Over at Pier 81. Budget range? A cheap and cheerful option ft cold buckets of beer  Time Out Tip:  Happy hour is 4-7 pm (Monday - Wednesday), so if you want to keep em' coming, head to the boat before then. 

3.  La Barca

Not into lobster? Head next door to get your hands on the banging street tacos aboard this one-of-a-kind three-level floating Mexican restaurant made for good times. Situated on a luxury yacht, La Barca boasts a large outdoor deck area, and two temperature-controlled indoor decks, accompanied by three bars that serve a selection of agave-based spirits, tequila and more. The boat takes several cruise trips a day, meaning you and the gang can enjoy swaying to a mix of Latin pop, salsa and dance hits — taking in the city's skyline as you float along the Hudson River. 

Where is it? La fiesta begins at Pier 81 .  Budget range? An affordable dining experience for those who like to party.  Time Out Tip: After Darka on Sunday night is where the real fun is  -  Free tequila and mezcal tastings and a live DJ guaranteed to make you 'get off your ass' and onto the dancefloor. 

4.  NYC: Luxury Brunch, Lunch & Dinner Harbor Cruise

If a premier cruise experience is your kind of cruise experience, look no further. This all-glass luxury ship is all about free flowing mimosas, live entertainment and decadent three-course meals for every (eating) hour of the day. With a  brunch, lunch and dinner cruise option on hand, this luxury sail will take you past  iconic New York City landmarks, like the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island and the Brooklyn Bridge, with the whole thing set to the sweet sounds of a live band. Dancing is encouraged.

Where is it?  Pier 61 Chelsea Piers, Manhattan, New York. 

Budget range? A pricey one, but well spent for an evening cruise through New York's harbor accompanied by some keys.   Time Out Tip: There aren't many seats on the top deck, so it's worth getting there a little earlier to skip the queue. 

5.  New York Dinner Cruise

Cruise both the Hudson and East Rivers on this two-and-a-half-hour venture set to music from a quality pianist playing classic jazz, blues and Broadway hits. While aboard you'll be served a lavish three-course dinner as you marvel at Ellis Island, the Statue of Liberty, Freedom Tower and the Empire State Building. You'll set a course from Pier 61, and be able to dance and eat the night away with some of the best views of the city going.

Where is it?  Board at Pier 61 Chelsea Piers, West 23rd St . Budget range? Unobstructed panoramic views of New York's most iconic landmarks for less than 100 bucks. Steal.  Time Out Tip: Think smart casual when it comes to the vibe of this cruise ship - the perfect excuse to grab the buds and set sail. Just be sure to book together to avoid a seating mishap. 

6.  NYC: Gourmet Dinner Cruise with Live Music

This 3-hour cruise down the Hudson River combines delicious food with dazzling sights. Sail past the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island while sipping on premium drinks and snacking on a decadent  charcuterie board packed with cheese, meat delicacies, nuts, jam and olives. Once you‘ve admired the view and the plush boat interior, which features  rare wood finishes and collectables, it’s time to sit down to dinner and tuck into gourmet salads and special desserts, while you’re serenaded by a live jazz band. 

Where is it?   Head to   Pier 36, NYC.  Budget range?   A good price for top-notch food, views and live music.  Time Out Tip:   Gratuities aren’t included, so make sure you bring cash. 

7.  Alive After Five

Gather your clocked-out coworkers and friends and board the Alive After Five cruise, which makes the most of happy hour—it actually lasts  two hours —along the Hudson River in City Cruises’ Sensation yacht. You’ll have two climate-controlled decks to choose from, plus a covered roof deck, multiple dance floors if and a DJ to get the party moving. This isn't just a cocktail cruise, there's pasta, Tex-Mex and other food options depending on the admission level you choose.

Where is it? The yacht departs from Pier 15 at 78 South st.  Budget range? Live it up on this classic yatcht without needing to break the bank.   Time Out Tip: Drinks aboard this vessel are a little dearer than usual (even for New York), so you might have to sweet talk the bartender a little.

8.  Skyline Cruises

Spend four hours sailing the NYC harbor, gazing out over landmarks like the Statue of Liberty, Brooklyn Bridge and the Empire State Building. In the height of comfort, no less, as the decks are climate controlled. There's also a DJ onboard, a dancefloor and an American buffet offering three courses, from short ribs and grilled bruschetta chicken to lemon sole stuffed with crabmeat–stuffed lemon and pasta. It's worth knowing that Skyline caters for brunch and lunch too.

Where is it? Board at World's Fair Marina. Budget range? A spot aboard this stellar cruise is a little pricier, but who could resist twirling around a rooftop dancefloor? Time Out Tip: Planning on popping the question? Skyline can customize your booking to make it a night to remember.

Superyacht Luxury Dining

Enjoy a personalised menu of gastronomic delights

Whilst aboard a luxury charter yacht , prepare to dine on the very best gourmet cuisines, cooked and expertly prepared by a world-class Chef to ensure every bite is tailor-made to perfection.

Each charter yacht has a professional on board crew trained in five star service to ensure each meal is catered to the highest possible standard. Whether you prefer formal dining, alfresco lunches or sundeck barbeques, your on board Chef can cater to your every gastronomic delight. From beautifully assembled four course meals to delicious snacks and nibbles, there is no doubt that your food will be nothing but exquisite. With superb service and a personalised menu, the mouth-watering cuisine aboard a superyacht is the epitome of gourmet dining.

Before you embark upon your luxury charter, you and your guests will be asked to complete a preference sheet which will itemise in detail any dietary requirements, food allergies and medical conditions that the crew should be made aware of prior to departure. Be as detailed as you can be. If you are on a strict diet, mention it; if you only like white chocolate, put it down as the crew will then use this sheet to familiarise themselves with your likes, dislikes and how you like to dine. Be completely honest and maybe even adventurous and you will not be disappointed. Once this preference sheet has been reviewed by the crew, you can rest assured that the cuisine on-board your yacht charter will be nothing less than perfect.

Prior to your charter check about the possibility of an exchange with your on board Chef, this way you can work together and establish which foods you would like to eat whilst you are offshore. This will ensure the only food served during your stay will consist of ingredients specifically requested by you meaning each and every meal will be tailor-made to perfection.

Don’t be shy when mentioning your specific requirements; the worst you could say is "we’ll eat anything" which of course is untrue. Your Chef will be familiar with special requests and will have handled many personal preferences on previous yacht charters such as, vegetarian, gluten free, diabetic friendly and low calorie, so don’t be afraid to be specific.

Dine on the very best gourmet cuisines, cooked and expertly prepared by a world-class Chef.

Remember, Chefs will not have access to large supplies of ingredients once the yacht has set sail and although it may be possible to source ingredients locally; this is dependent on your charter destination. Be sure to mention if you have a special occasion whilst on board as yacht charter crews love to host a party. From pirate themed nights to decadent dinner parties, what better way to celebrate than with a feast of culinary delights alongside your favourite people with a slice of personalised birthday cake for dessert?

From delectable beach picnics to delicious hors d'oeuvres your on board Chef can prepare astounding meals which are perfectly tailored to your own personal preferences. Bon appétit!

by Kristen 2 Comments

Have you been lucky enough to get an invite on a boat? Or maybe you are a boat owner and need ideas for what to bring. Then, you’ve come to the right place. Whether you are boarding a sailboat, motorboat, pontoon, or yacht (can we be friends?), we have the best boat food. 

Are you wondering what food I should bring on a boat? Maybe you are looking for a list of the best food for boats. We’ve got you covered.

Let’s go the The Chalkboard.

Some of the links below are affiliate links. This means that, at zero cost to you, I will earn an affiliate commission if you click through the link and finalize a purchase. All opinions are my own. Read our full disclosure.

What Food Should I Bring On A Boat? Here’s How To Pick The Best Food For Boats

Before we dive into exactly what you should bring, here are some things to consider when trying to figure out what food to bring on a boat. You want things that aren’t too messy. No one wants to clean up too much and no boat owner wants a stain on their interior to clean. Most captains like to keep their vessels in tip-top shape!

It’s also likely going to be warm outside so nothing that will easily melt like chocolate. Simple meals are best. Nothing too fussy or heavy. No one wants to eat a complicated meal on a hot day! Now that we’ve talked about what NOT to bring, here are some of the best food for boats.

What Snacks Should I Bring On A Boat (20+ Boat Snacks)

Sometimes you are so busy enjoying the day that you don’t want to stop for a big meal. That’s where snacks come in. They are perfect for grabbing and going or just munching on for a bit. Here are some ideas.

Snacks For Boating 

• Frozen grapes 
• Yogurts in a tube (frozen)
• Energy Bars
• Dried Fruit
• Roasted chickpeas
• Blueberries
• Pretzels (A big tub is a great gift to bring the captain)

More Food For Boats – Dinners and Lunches

Keeping in mind that we don’t want anything too fussy or heavy, here are some great options that are filling enough for lunch or dinner that can be easily made ahead of time. Ancient grain salads really fit the bill as they are hearty, easy to prep the day before and delicious!

• Big Mac Salad
• Wraps 
• Farro Salad 
• Chicken Cutlets
• Grilled Chicken
• Macaroni Salad 
• Chickpea, Parsley, Feta Salad  
• Italian Tortellini Salad – Don’t put too much dressing on this!
• Edamame, Corn and Farro Salad 
• Gnocchi Salad  
• Tabouli Salad  
• Buffalo Chickpea Salad
• Spinach Tortellini Salad 
• Pasta With Chickpeas And Arugula 
• Chicken Club Salad
• Egg Roll In A Bowl
• Quinoa Salad
• Avocado And Grilled Chicken Salad
• Ramen Noodle Salad
• Lunch Kebobs
• Chicken Cucumber Salad

BBQing on a Boat

Some boaters have small grills they use while onboard. If that’s the case then there are several more options for dinners and lunches. Be sure to choose leaner cuts of meat. High-fat meats may cause flare-ups which you do NOT want. 

The Magma grill is very well-made and worth the price. This version is large enough to feed four to six people but still packs away easily with the carrying case that comes with it. Purchase it on Amazon and have it by the weekend.

• Veggie Burgers
• Kebabs (make ahead and then grill)
• Shrimp 

Even More Food For Boats — Breakfast Ideas

Maybe you are headed out early to fish or beat the heat. No need to skip breakfast, pack it to go. And don’t forget the coffee!

• Oatmeal (in a thermos)
• Bacon, Egg, And Cheese sandwiches
• Breakfast Burritos

Vegetarian Boat Food

Let’s not relegate our vegetarian guests to crudite platters. Here are some great boat food options for vegetarians that carnivores will love, too!

• Hummus and vegetables
• Chickpea Salad
• Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches
• Mozzarella and roasted red pepper sandwiches with balsamic vinaigrette
• Tortellini Salad
• Vegetable Kebabs
• Roasted Eggplant sandwich with mozzarella and balsamic vinaigrette
• Pasta with pesto
• California Rolls

Items To Pack Besides Food For Boats

• Bags for dirty utensils
• Water — lots of water

Just a kind suggestion especially for people that don’t know… avid boaters, especially when fishing, will lose their mind if they find a banana on their boat because it brings bad luck. The rest of the list was great though and gave me a few ideas for our next outing!

Kristen says

Haha! We don’t go with the no banana rule but we also never have much luck fishing so perhaps that’s why!

Love Boat Party Life

11 Easy Dinners on a Boat {Plus BONUS Idea}

Having dinner on a boat is an exciting way to get out and enjoy the outdoors. Whether you’re looking for a romantic evening or just want to have some fun with your friends, there’s nothing quite like eating dinner on the water. But if you don’t have a lot of experience cooking on a boat, it can be intimidating and overwhelming.

Table of Contents

That’s why we’ve put together this guide with 11 easy dinners on a boat that are perfect for having dinner with friends and family while out to sea. These delicious meals will make sure everyone enjoys their time spent at sea while giving them plenty of energy throughout the night!

With simple ingredients that won’t break your budget and easy-to-follow instructions, these recipes will help make your mealtime as enjoyable as possible.

So grab your fishing rods and set sail – it’s time to explore all the possibilities of dining aboard!

Grilled Fish

Grilled fish is a great option for dinner on a boat , because it’s easy to prepare, requires minimal ingredients, and tastes delicious. Before you start grilling, make sure to clean and season your fish with salt, pepper, and lemon juice. This will help to keep the moisture in the fish and give it an extra flavor boost.

Once you’re ready to cook, wrap the fish in aluminum foil and place it over hot coals. Grill for about 10 minutes on each side, or until the fish is cooked through. Serve with a side of grilled vegetables or a simple salad.

Pasta Salad

Pasta salad is a versatile and easy-to-prepare meal that can be made ahead of time and stored in the cooler. Simply cook the pasta, add your favorite vegetables, and toss with a flavorful dressing.

For a delicious twist, try adding some cooked salmon or tuna to the dish. This will add color and protein to your meal and make it even more satisfying.

Sandwiches are an ideal option for dinner on a boat , as they can be quickly and easily prepared with minimal ingredients. They provide a convenient way to enjoy a filling meal without having to spend hours slaving away in the kitchen. Plus, they’re great for picnics, beach days, and more!

Sandwiches can be as simple or as elaborate as you’d like. For a classic combination, try topping some toasted bread with lettuce, tomato, and cheese. Alternatively, spice things up by preparing an open-faced sandwich topped with your favorite ingredients.

Quesadillas

Quesadillas are a perfect dinner option for those who are out on the boat. Since they require minimal ingredients and equipment, it’s easy to make them with whatever you have on board.

To begin making quesadillas, gather your ingredients and heat up a griddle or pan. If you’re using a griddle, set the temperature to medium-high heat. If you’re using a pan, heat it over medium heat.

Next, layer your ingredients onto one half of the tortilla and fold it in half. Place the quesadilla on the griddle or pan and cook for about three minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy. Serve with salsa and sour cream.

Fish tacos are a quick and easy way to make dinner on a boat. Not only are they delicious, but they can be assembled quickly with minimal ingredients, making them perfect for a meal on the go.

To make fish tacos, start by preparing the fish of your choice. This can be grilled, fried, or baked – whatever suits your taste. Once the fish is cooked through, it’s time to assemble the tacos.

Start by heating up some tortillas in a frying pan over medium-high heat until they’re lightly browned and crispy around the edges. Then top each tortilla with your favorite toppings like lettuce, tomatoes, onions, avocado, and cheese – whatever you prefer!

Finally, layer your cooked fish onto each taco shell and serve with a side of salsa or sour cream for extra flavor.

One of the great things about fish tacos is that you can easily customize them to your liking depending on what ingredients you have onboard your boat . There are endless possibilities when it comes to topping combinations and sauces so you never get bored with this dish!

Plus, since it only requires basic cooking skills (like grilling or baking) anyone can make these tasty tacos without any hassle.

Pizza is the perfect boat food for a party, as it requires minimal ingredients and preparation time. It’s also a crowd-pleaser that can be customized to suit various tastes and dietary needs. To make pizza on board, start by gathering your ingredients such as pizza dough, sauce, cheese, and any toppings you’d like to use.

When it comes to making the perfect boat party pizza, fresh basil is essential. Its unique flavor adds depth and complexity to the dish that you just can’t get with dried or jarred herbs – making it an absolute must-have for any boat meal.

Adding some freshly chopped basil leaves when assembling your pizza will give the dish a delicious boost of freshness and aroma that everyone will love.

Once you have all your ingredients ready, it’s time to assemble the pizza! Start by rolling out the dough onto parchment paper or a floured surface before transferring it onto a baking sheet or pan.

Top with sauce, cheese, olive oil, and your favorite toppings such as tomato sauce before finally adding some chopped basil for extra flavor. Place in a preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius) for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and crispy around the edges.

It’s best served piping hot with a side of salad or roasted vegetables to balance out the flavors. For extra fun, why not set up an assembly line with different toppings so everyone can customize their own? This way everyone gets what they want, pizza is by far one of the easy boat food recipes for boat parties.

Stuffed Peppers

Stuffed peppers are a delicious and easy way to enjoy dinner while aboard a boat. To make them, start by gathering the necessary ingredients including bell peppers, ground beef or turkey, cooked rice, diced tomatoes, cheddar cheese, onion, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.

Begin by prepping the bell peppers by removing the tops and seeds. Next, brown the ground beef in a skillet with the diced onions. Add in the cooked rice, tomatoes, and seasonings before filling each bell pepper with the mixture.

Top them off with cheddar cheese and bake for about 25 minutes or until the peppers are tender. Serve alongside your favorite side dish for a complete meal.

Potato Salad

Potato salad is an excellent option for dinner on a boat. It’s a classic side dish that can be easily made with minimal ingredients and without having to spend hours slaving away in the kitchen.

Plus, it goes well with many other dishes like sandwiches, quesadillas, fish tacos, or even pizza!

To begin making potato salad on a boat, start by boiling potatoes until they are fork-tender. Once cooked, drain and rinse them before transferring them to a bowl to cool. While the potatoes cool off, dice some onion and cut up celery (optional) for added flavor and texture.

Next, mix together mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt), mustard, salt, and pepper in a separate bowl until combined. Once everything is ready to go, combine the potatoes with the onion and celery and pour the dressing overtop. Gently toss everything together until all of the ingredients are evenly distributed.

For additional flavor, try adding hard-boiled eggs or cooked bacon bits to your potato salad. These ingredients will add color as well as protein to your meal while also making it more satisfying.

If you want to get creative with your dish you can also mix in some diced pickles or shredded cheese too!

Once finished preparing your potato salad, transfer it into an airtight container for storage on the boat. You can enjoy it as-is or serve it alongside seafood dishes like grilled salmon or shrimp tacos for an extra flavorful meal.

Chowder is a hearty and comforting dish that makes a great dinner option while on the boat. The best part about making chowder on a boat is that it requires minimal ingredients and can be cooked using only one pot.

To get started, you’ll need some type of creamy base like milk, cream, or butter along with vegetables, potatoes, and seafood or chicken.

Begin by sautéing your favorite vegetables in the butter – onions, celery, garlic, and carrots are all good options. Once the vegetables have softened, add in potato cubes and stir for another few minutes until they begin to soften up.

Pour in your creamy base of choice, stir to combine, and bring the mixture to a boil. When it starts to boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer until the potatoes are tender enough to eat.

For added flavor, try adding some fresh herbs like parsley or thyme for an extra boost of flavor. If you’d like to make this dish more filling, you can also add in some cooked chicken or seafood such as shrimp or cod fillets.

Chowder is a flexible dish so don’t be afraid to get creative! You can try adding different vegetables like spinach or zucchini as well as other spices like cayenne pepper for added heat.

If you’re feeling adventurous, toss in some diced bacon at the beginning of cooking for even more flavor depth.

Chowder pairs nicely with many side dishes including tossed salads topped with cheese crumbles or roasted veggies like cauliflower and Brussels sprouts drizzled with olive oil prior to roasting.

Serve these sides with crusty sourdough bread for an extra-hearty meal that will surely please everyone aboard.

Kebabs are an easy and delicious dish to make while on the boat. This one-pan meal can be quickly put together without having to invest too much time in the kitchen.

To begin making kebabs for your boat dinner, start by preheating your oven or grill to medium-high heat. While it’s heating up, soak wooden skewers in water for at least 10 minutes so they don’t burn while cooking.

Next, prepare the ingredients of your choice and cut them into cubes that are roughly the same size – onions, bell peppers, mushrooms, squash, pineapple, cherry tomatoes, and zucchini are all excellent options.

Place the cubes in a bowl and drizzle with olive oil before adding some spices like garlic powder or paprika as well as freshly chopped herbs like oregano or rosemary for extra flavor.

Toss everything together until evenly coated before threading it onto skewers – make sure not to overcrowd each skewer!

Once all of your kebabs have been prepared, place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil and bake or grill for 15-20 minutes until cooked through and lightly charred around the edges.

Once they’re ready to serve, transfer them onto a plate and serve with flavorful sides like couscous tossed with vegetables, quinoa salad topped with feta cheese crumbles, hummus dip made from chickpeas and tahini sauce, or crunchy coleslaw dressed in a light lemon vinaigrette.

Kebabs can also be served as an appetizer by cutting off smaller pieces from each skewer and serving them on toothpicks with a side of dipping sauce such as tzatziki or chimichurri.

For a lighter option try serving lettuce cups filled with grilled kebab pieces along with diced tomatoes and cucumbers for added texture and crunch.

Stir-fry is an easy and tasty way to bring a boat party to life! With a few simple ingredients and some cleverly added spices, you can quickly whip up delicious boat snacks that everyone will love.

To begin with your stir-fry, heat some oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Once the oil is hot, add in the vegetables of your choice – diced onions, bell peppers, mushrooms, squash, carrots, celery, bok choy, snap peas or snow peas are all excellent options.

Stir-fry the vegetables until they are lightly cooked but still crisp and then add in spices such as curry powder or chili flakes as well as freshly chopped herbs like cilantro and basil.

Next up comes protein – cubed chicken breasts are great for this dish but you can also use firm tofu if you’re looking for a vegetarian option. Add the protein to the pan and continue stir-frying until everything is cooked through.

For extra flavor and texture, try adding in some nuts like cashews or peanuts as well as dried fruits like raisins or cranberries at this stage.

Once all of your ingredients are combined, pour in a few tablespoons of soy sauce along with some rice wine vinegar or sesame oil for added flavor.

Reduce the heat to low and allow the mixture to simmer until it has reached a desired consistency before serving warm over steamed jasmine rice or noodles.

For even more flavor depth you can also add sauces such as hoisin sauce or oyster sauce into the stir-fry towards the end of cooking – adjust according to taste. To finish off the dish with an extra touch of brightness and color you can sprinkle over some sliced green onions just before serving.

Stir-fries make great boat snacks because they’re easy to make yet full of flavor – perfect for feeding hungry guests while keeping prep time minimal! Plus they’re incredibly versatile so don’t be afraid to mix things up with whatever ingredients you have available on board.

Fried Ravioli

To make fried ravioli, simply stuff store-bought won ton wrappers with a small amount of cheese then seal the edges. Fry in hot oil until golden brown before sprinkling over some fresh herbs such as basil or thyme for an extra touch of flavor during your next boat trip.

Layer tortilla chips, melted cheese, chopped tomatoes, onions, jalapeños, and other favorite toppings on a baking tray then bake for 10 minutes in a preheated oven. Serve warm with salsa, sour cream, and guacamole!

• Description

Equipped with ice-breaking technology, these huge fancy yachts are the only river cruisers running all year around. The round trip journey takes two and a half hours and floats past all the big sights like the White House, Novodevichy monastery and the Kremlin. There’s a large open air observation deck up top, while the main body of the ship houses a restaurant with a dance floor for a romantic post dinner dance. For a particularly romantic experience take one of the evening boats and admire the bright lights of the city skyline at night.

The most relaxing and picturesque tour that Moscow can offer: a great way to see the city center and its main attractions. This is a perfect alternative to exploring the city by car, if you only have time to do sightseeing during weekday rush hours.

Your English-speaking guide is eager to share every bit of their knowledge about the surrounding landscape, the architecture and historical details.

We conduct Moscow river tour on Radisson Flotilla boats all year around!  It’s warm inside during winter months, while there’s air conditioning during hot summer days. You may also treat yourself to drinks, lunch or dinner on board (drinks and food are not included in tour price).

I’ve Been Cruising for 20+ Years, Here Are the 15 Best Dinner Outfits to Pack for Your Next Trip — From $27

These stunning styles match any dress code — and budget.

Travel + Leisure / Jaclyn Mastropasqua

When you think of a cruise, you might imagine walking around in flip-flops and a bathing suit all day. But for me, one of my favorite things about setting sail is the excuse to dress up. Many cruise lines have dress codes at night in their ship's formal dining rooms, and if you choose to eat at a specialty restaurant, you’ll want to show up looking your best. I've been cruising for over 20 years , which adds up to about 15 cruises, and have sailed everywhere from the Mediterranean to the Caribbean. Needless to say, I’ve learned a thing or two about what you’ll need once aboard.

Cruise dress codes have become more relaxed in recent years. However, I just got back from a five-night cruise to Bermuda on Royal Caribbean ’s Liberty of the Seas, and the itinerary included multiple theme nights. When there was no theme, guests were asked to wear smart casual outfits in dining rooms and on-board restaurants. I took this as an opportunity to turn the ship deck into my own personal runway with flowy maxi dresses , lightweight linen , and colorful floral prints. Here are 15 cruise outfits that will make you the best-dressed guest aboard your next cruise.

Anrabess One-shoulder Wide-leg Linen Jumpsuit 

A night on a cruise ship isn’t just about good dining — you’ll often have the chance to see a show before or after your meal. This breezy wide-legged jumpsuit would be a comfortable option to wear all night long, especially while sitting for long periods. It’s made with lightweight linen for breathability and features a fashionable silhouette with a one-shoulder strap. The cinched waist and smocked back are ultra-flattering on different body types while the side zipper makes it easy to put on after a long day at the beach.  

Grace Karin Criss-cross Halterneck Floral Maxi Dress 

Every night might feel like a tropical night when you’re out at sea, but there was actually a dedicated theme night on my most recent cruise that required a specific look. I packed a flowy blue maxi dress with a halterneck and Hawaiian-inspired flower print and ended up wearing it to Chops Grille , which is arguably Royal Carribean’s nicest specialty restaurant. While my dress is an older style from For Love & Lemons , I found a dress with a similar one on Amazon for a much more affordable price. 

Abercrombie Linen-blend Shell Mini Dress 

Abercrombie

Linen clothes and beach vacations may go hand-in-hand, but this mini Abercrombie dress is versatile enough to become a most worn item in your wardrobe — which is always helpful to take into consideration if you’re using girl math to justify your trip's clothing purchases. On a cruise ship, I’d wear this dress with sandals, but it instantly becomes city-ready when paired with cowboy boots. The high neckline balances its mini length and it features vertical stitching to accentuate your curves.

If you’ve ever sailed with Virgin Voyages, you know the cruise line features Scarlet Night , a full-ship activation where guests are invited to dress in red. This dress would be perfect to pack, and it also comes in black, gray, and white for those who prefer neutrals.

Reformation Annabella Lace Trim Linen Minidress 

Another common cruise theme night is for guests to be asked to wear all-white outfits. A white dress is a timeless closet staple that you’ll wear again and again. If you don’t already have one, why not invest before your trip? In my opinion, no one does white dresses better than Reformation, and this button-down dress is the perfect combination of classic and trendy. The lace trim gives an otherwise simple shirt dress a more feminine touch.

The high-quality materials make it worth the splurge — it’s made from 100 percent linen, which is lightweight, breathable, and durable. One Nordstrom shopper said they kept receiving compliments on this dress, while another called it “my favorite summer dress.” Hurry, it's selling out fast.

Travel + Leisure / Rebecca Shinners

PrettyGarden Floral Maxi Dress 

I wore a red maxi dress with pink flowers on my cruise, and you should too. Or, you could go with one of the 29 other colorways of this flowy maxi dress, ranging from solid light blue to pink and blue stripes. My dress is from Faithfull the Brand , and while its 100 percent linen fabric made it worth the splurge to me, I can’t deny that this more affordable version from Amazon is just as eye-catching.

A long, tiered maxi skirt makes this a comfortable option for walking through windy decks. The one-shoulder tie is stylish but also practical, making the dress more adjustable. It’s no wonder the dress has more than 3,700 five-star ratings. One reviewer , who called it “very comfortable” and “flattering,” said, “If you are on the fence, go ahead and buy it — you won’t regret it!”

Nashalyly Tiered Maxi Skirt

Tiered white maxi skirts have become a popular trend recently, but they’re also a match-anything closet staple. My mom wore this boho-inspired style multiple times on our recent trip, inspiring me to add a similar Aerie skirt to my own wardrobe. However, you can achieve the same look with this top-rated style from Amazon , which is available in a slew of colors and made with a lightweight gauze material that can be dressed up for a smart casual outfit, or worn casually during the day.

Meshki Suki Knit Maxi Dress With Flowers 

Crochet is another fabric that goes hand-in-hand with a tropical vacation. This maxi dress was a bit out of my comfort zone but ended up being one of my favorite outfits of the trip. I felt so good in it all night long. My dress is Caroline Constas from Marshall’s , and while it isn’t available online, this Meshki version is basically identical. It features the same 3D crochet florals but has the bonus of coming in five different colors. The black with white flowers might have to go into my cart for my next vacation.

FQA Long Evening Gown

If you’re the type of person who enjoys dressing up, a cruise is your time to shine. Most cruises I’ve been on have included one or two formal nights, but on my most recent trip, this was replaced with a "wear your best" night. While some people dressed down, others wore gowns. Personally, I never mind being the most dressed-up person in the room. After all, a cruise does offer great family photo opportunities. 

This dress features a thick material with spandex for some stretch, which makes it comfortable and flattering, while the leg slit will keep you cool. “The V-neck and sleeveless design gave it an elegant yet comfortable feel, and the split wrap style added a touch of flair. I received so many compliments throughout the evening,” said one reviewer, who wore this dress on a cruise . A versatile piece you can re-wear is always a win, and this dress would also be appropriate for a black tie wedding.

Grace Karin Sequin Wrap Mini Dress

One of my all-time favorite cruises took place during the week between Christmas and New Year’s Eve, ending with a balloon drop on the ship’s promenade. If I were to ring in the new year in a tropical destination again, this Amazon-loved number is the dress I’d want to be wearing. 

Similar to a sparkly option I've been eyeing from Pacsun, this pick is sure to help you stand out with its shimmery navy sequins and sexy wrap front. The dress has some stretch to it to keep you comfortable throughout dinner in the dining room. Throw a pair of silver kitten heels in your suitcase and you’ll be ready for a long night of celebrations.

Anrabess One-shoulder Smocked Two-piece Set

A matching set is a one-and-done travel outfit that you can rely on to look and feel good on board. I wore a floral two-piece from Marshall’s to dine at Sabor, Royal Carribean’s Mexican specialty restaurant, but I’m eyeing this Amazon set for my next cruise. The one-shoulder top is smocked all over, which I find hugs your body in a way that’s both comfortable and flattering. It’s paired with a maxi skirt in a simple but pretty silhouette. Plus, it has pockets — perfect for stashing your state card, which is pretty much the only thing you need on a cruise ship. 

This set comes in 18 colors, including both prints and solids. While it would be perfect for a smart casual night, it also comes in white and floral prints, depending on what themes you’re packing for. Reviewers who have worn this set everywhere from Hawaii to Mexico praise its lightweight material as being perfect for summer. "The material is very soft and flattering," said one shopper . And, if you’re going on a longer trip, you can mix and match this set with other tops and bottoms to make the most of your vacation wardrobe.

Resistor Midi Slip Dress

There are other patterns besides florals to make a statement. To add charm and fun to your cruise outfits, I recommend opting for something like the Resistor Midi Slip Dress that's decorated in unique, geometric squiggles for intrigue. the simple yet elegant nature of the slip dress will match any cruise itinerary. Plus, Personally, I was eyeing this Madewell x Lisa Says Gah! illustrated dress inspired by the Greek Isles and deep blue seas; I can’t think of a better way to spend a night than watching the sunset over the ocean while wearing lemon wedges and wine bottles on my dress.

Wayf Two-piece Poplin Pleated Skirt Set

I’m the type of person who likes to dress on theme for where I’m headed, and this set says, "New England cruise." I’d imagine sailing from Maine to Canada in the matching poplin shirt and pleated skirt. Plus, it fits the smart casual dress code of most cruise lines. The long-sleeved top would keep you comfortable in a cold dining room, but the sleeves can also easily be rolled up. I’d likely wear this outfit with loafers or ballet flats, but it could also be made more warm-weather appropriate with slip-on sandals . 

Cider Tube Ruched Ruffle Mini Dress

This might look like just another white dress at first glance, but stick with me here to see the vision. Disney Cruise Line is known for having a pirate theme night during some itineraries, and this dress would be the perfect base for your outfit. Just add accessories and, shiver me timbers, you’ll look like an extra straight out of Pirates of the Caribbean .  

On other ships, the dress would be a great pick for an all-white night or a more casual night where you skip the formal dining room and head straight for the buffet. “This is the perfect summer dress that you can dress up or down,” said one reviewer . “The quality was good and it fit very well.”

Peppermayo Ayla Satin Mini Dress

This yellow slip dress was one of the first things I packed for my trip, and I felt so good in it that I brought it to the beach in Bermuda for a fun photo shoot. Not only was butter yellow one of the biggest color trends of this past summer, but it also looks great against a fresh sun tan. However, this dress is also available in blue if you prefer.

As someone with a smaller chest, I was worried about how the bust would fall on me, but it ended up being ultra-flattering due to the ruching. It’s also a higher cut and provides more chest coverage in comparison to other similar dresses I’ve tried. The delicate lace and satin material feel elegant while the open back makes it perfect for warmer nights at sea. If you do choose to order this dress, keep in mind that there’s no stretch (though the tie back is adjustable) and Peppermayo tends to run small. I went up one size, following the size chart for just the right fit. 

Newshows Lightweight Button-down Cardigan

You may have dinner dresses, matching sets, and jumpsuits on your packing list, but trust me, this cardigan is the one piece of clothing you won’t want to set sail without. Cruise ships are notorious for blasting the air conditioner inside and you won’t want to be forced to cover your chic dinner outfit up with a sweatshirt. Toss this cardigan into your suitcase to stay warm without sacrificing your outfit. It comes in 35 different colors to match any look, but I prefer to go with white so I only have to pack one.

Simple Seafood Meals

Farfalle with anchovies.

Classic Italian pasta with a Mediterranean twist

Another dish containing this delicious small fish is farfalle with anchovies. Farfalle refers to bow-tie-shaped pasta whose name is derived from the Italian word meaning ‘a butterfly ‘– Farfalla. Find all the details on how to prepare farfalle with anchovies .

• Farfalle pasta
• 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
• Marinated anchovies
• 4 peeled and cut tomatoes
• 3 cloves of garlic, minced
• 80g black marinated olives
• Salt and black pepper
• 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
• Half a glass of dry white wine
• Few oregano leaves

The preparation time for this meal is 20 minutes and the total time to prepare it is 30 minutes. Recommended serving is 2 scoops. This recipe yields 5 servings.

• Farfalle should be cooked in a lot of boiling water. To reach the additional flavor you can add a pinch of salt, few drops of olive oil, and one big clove of garlic, squeezed or cut into large pieces. Cook farfalle strictly according to the manufacturer’s instructions to gain a perfect consistency of the pasta. The sauce should be cooked before the pasta.
• Remove the pits from some 80 g of black marinated olives, cut the olives, and put them on the warm olive oil in a deep pan. Don’t fry the olives! Add two squeezed cloves of garlic and simmer it all on moderate heat until the garlic leaves its scent.
• Add four peeled and cut tomatoes (better fresh than tinned) and continue simmering and stirring it gently. Finally, add some salt and black pepper and after approximately two minutes add half a glass of dry white wine. After another two minutes of simmering the wine should be vaporized and you should remove the pan off the heat.
• Put cooked farfalle into the sauce; add thinly sliced marinated or salted anchovies and dry oregano leaves. Stir it all well but gently and take it back on fire. Warm it up once again making sure it doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pan. Top with Parmigiano Reggiano.

Prawns with Green Noodles

When prawns fall in love with green noodles

It’s time for prawns – our favourite seafood.  This combination of green noodles and prawns is a true symphony of tastes and is as simple as possible. Find here the recipe for prawns with green noodles to find out more.

• Salt and pepper
• Finely chopped parsley
• Grana Padano or Parmigiano Reggiano cheese
• Glass of white wine

The preparation time for this meal is 30 minutes and the total time to prepare it is 50 minutes. Recommended serving is 2 scoops. This recipe yields 4 servings.

• Green noodles should be cooked according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Meanwhile, the prawns should be cooked in a warm deep pan on olive oil. Make sure that the oil is not too hot because we do not want to fry them. When they release their liquids add salt and pepper and finely chopped parsley.
• Stir it gently while simmering and, in the end, add cream.
• Cook it on medium heat until all the ingredients mix together. Pour the prawn sauce over the noodles in each portion and serve it with cold white wine.

Shellfish Pasta Salad

Amazing combination of shell shaped pasta and seashells

Of all shellfish, mussels have the most impressive nutritional profile. If you are a pasta and shellfish lover, you will appreciate our shell-shaped pasta salad with shell recipe.

• Shell shaped pasta (conchiglie or conchiglioni)
• 1/2 cup onion (finely chopped)
• 4 peeled fresh tomatoes
• Bit of sugar
• A glass of white wine
• Balsamic vinegar
• Ground Chili
• Cut green peppers
• Cold white semi-dry or aromatic wine

The preparation time for this meal is 20 minutes and the total time to prepare it is 28 minutes. Recommended serving is 2 large scoops. This recipe yields 4-6 servings.

• Like every other pasta, conchiglie should be cooked in salted boiling water. You can add some oil to the boiling water to prevent pasta from sticking when it is done.
• The soul of this meal is its sauce. Warm some virgin olive oil in a deep pan or a pot and add squeezed onions. When onions leave their sauce and scent, add peeled tomatoes cut into small cubes. Prepare this sauce preferably with fresh tomatoes but tinned ones could also do. Simmer the tomatoes constantly stirring them and add some sugar, the inevitable ingredient when cooking tomatoes; add a glass of white wine and cleaned mussels.
• When the wine is vaporized add salt and pepper and some water if you notice that sauce is getting too thick and starts to stick to the bottom of the pan. Remove the sauce from fire when it is half reduced. Remove the mussels from the sauce and strain the sauce through a sieve. Put the mussels and cooked pasta in separate dishes and leave them to cool down. Now it is time to finish the sauce by adding some more virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, ground chili, and stirring it all with a whisk.
• The meal is ready to be served when cold mussels and tightly cut green peppers are added to cold pasta, overflowed with the sauce, and stirred together. I did not find a specific name for this cold pasta and mussels salad but I can guarantee that it goes well with a glass of cold white semi-dry or aromatic wine.

Pasta Carbonara

One of the classic pasta dishes

This simple recipe originated in the Italian region of Lazio, or to be more specific, the city of Rome. Some believe that this dish was named after charcoal workers who allegedly regained their energy from it. Others believe that the name comes as a tribute to Carbonari, the secret society prominent in the early stages of Italian unification. You have probably already guessed what we’re talking about. It’s pasta Carbonara , of course!

• Pasta of your choice, spaghetti preferably
• 100g pancetta
• Few cloves of garlic
• Grated (goat) cheese
• 50g Parmesan cheese

The preparation time for pasta Carbonara is 15 minutes and the total time to prepare it is 30 minutes. Recommended serving is 2 large scoops. This recipe yields 4 servings.

• Firstly, pasta should be cooked in boiling salted water just as much as stated by the manufacturer, don’t overcook it.
• Meanwhile, warm some olive oil in the pan and add bacon cut in small cubes and few cloves of garlic. When both ingredients get a glassy look and start to release their tasty scents, remove them from the pan and remove the pan from the fire.
• In a separate bowl whisk two eggs with grated (goat) cheese into a compact mixture.
• Put the pasta into a warm pan where bacon and garlic were warmed, add bacon cubes and pour eggs with cheese over all the ingredients. Stir vigorously until the mixture is even. Add some freshly grated black pepper while stirring or just before serving. Top with Parmesan.

Pasta Bolognese

The king of pasta

The popular pasta Bolognese is really delicious and easy to make – it’s all you need for a nice meal on board. Learn some tricks for making a perfect Bolognese sauce . A great and easy snack for when you don’t feel like cooking.

• Two small onions
• Celery root
• A glass of red wine
• 500 g minced beef meat
• Canned peeled tomatoes
• Mediterranean herbs

The preparation time for pasta Carbonara is 25 minutes and the total time to prepare it is 1 hour and 50 minutes. Recommended serving is 2 large scoops. This recipe yields 6 servings.

• Warm some olive oil in a dish and stew some onion cut into small pieces. Add some celery root and carrot when onions get transparent. After a while add a glass of red or white wine and lower the flame intensity.
• For a decent Bolognese you will need minced beef meat, but you can use any other minced meet as well. Stir it thoroughly, add salt and pepper and cook it over a low fire. When the meat gets brownish it is time to add canned peeled tomatoes. Let it cook for a while. That would be the basics of Bolognese.
• Your sauce will taste more authentically if you add some Mediterranean herbs into it. First of all, there is bay leaf which can be fresh or dried, and is very common in the Mediterranean. Secondly, if you cut some rosemary leaves into tiny pieces your Bolognese will ‘start talking’.

Tagliatelle with Olives and Pancetta

A dish you will never get tired of

This is a typical Italian recipe. Tagliatelle, olives, and some pancetta – very simple but crazy good. Try it topped with Grana Padano. Delicious! Simply click for the tagliatelle with olives recipe or scroll down.

• Tagliatelle
• 1 clove of garlic
• Black and green olives
• Pickled capers
• Few salted anchovies
• Fresh basil
• Fresh tomatoes

The preparation time for Tagliatelle with Olives and Pancetta is 25 minutes and the total time to prepare it is 50 minutes. Recommended serving is 2 large scoops. This recipe yields 4 servings.

• Tagliatelle should be cooked in boiling salted water with a few drops of oil, just to prevent sticking when taken out of the pot. Follow the instructions on cooking time very strictly so that tagliatelle become perfectly consistent, or al dente, as our fellow Italians like to say.
• The sauce is very simple to prepare. Gently fry some pancetta on hot olive oil along with one clove of garlic and one bay leaf. Frying should not last too long while the oil should not be too hot – don’t over fry or burn the ingredients.
• After you take the pan off the heat (or just turn the cooker off) prepare the topping – chop black and green olives and mix them with a handful of pickled capers, a few salted anchovies, and extra virgin olive oil.
• To finish off, stir the mixture and add some ground pepper and fresh basil before you put it in the still-warm pan with the pancetta. Stir the mixture once again in the warm pan – there is no need to light the fire again. Divide tagliatelle into portions; add the topping and garnish each portion with small pieces of fresh tomatoes and fresh basil leaves.

Fusilli with Tuna and Tomato Sauce

Fusilli in a refreshing sauce

This quick pasta recipe with olive oil, garlic, tuna, tomatoes, oregano, and basil takes only 30 minutes to prepare and is sure to wow everyone. Don’t forget a glass of red wine! Read more on the fusilli with tuna and tomato sauce recipes.

• Five cloves of garlic
• Peeled and cut tomatoes
• Teaspoon of sugar
• Fresh tuna chunks
• Dried oregano and basil leaves

The preparation time for this dish is 10 minutes and the total time to prepare it is 35 minutes. Recommended serving is 1 large scoop. This recipe yields 4 servings.

• Start with the sauce. Warm some olive oil in a deep pan and squeeze five cloves of garlic as the oil warms up. Make sure the garlic is not fried. You may also cut it into fine and thin pieces using a sharp knife. Some use the razor blade, as in “Goodfellas” by Martin Scorsese…
• The idea is to spread the taste of garlic all over the oil where you will add peeled and cut tomatoes, fresh or tinned. The sauce should be gently stirred and cooked on low heat. Also make sure that you add at least one teaspoon of sugar, just to neutralize tomato acids.
• As the sauce gets denser, lower the heat and add tuna chunks – preferably tinned but remove the oil before adding them to the sauce. Leave the sauce on low heat and stir it from time to time while you prepare pasta.
• Boil water; add some salt and a few drops of oil as my grandma used to do, as this way pasta would not get sticky after cooking. Fusilli should be prepared according to the package instruction – believe me, if you stick to the instructions completely, you will never fail! A minute before the fusilli are ready, get back to your sauce and add some dried oregano leaves or thinly sliced fresh basil leaves.
• The proper way of serving is to share plain pasta into portions and everyone can add the sauce to their taste. Make sure there is enough Grana Padano or Parmigiano Reggiano on the table to round off this delicious meal. A glass of red wine is not necessary but wouldn’t be redundant.

Meat Risotto

When you get tired of seafood while sailing

Cooking and eating seafood comes naturally when sailing. However, people who are not used to eating a lot of seafood sometimes wish to have some meat meal during their sailing trip. For such occasions, we recommend a meat risotto instead of classic seafood risotto. Find out more about meat risotto . Wonderful snack if you ever get tired of fish.

• 2 small onions
• Veal or beef meat cut into cubes
• Beef or chicken broth
• Full-fat grated cheese

The preparation time for this meat risotto is 15 minutes and the total time to prepare it is 1 hour and 45 minutes. Recommended serving is 2 large scoops. This recipe yields 4 servings.

• Like many other Dalmatian and Mediterranean meals, this one too starts with finely chopped onions on warm olive oil. Simmer the onions until they get translucent and yellowish. Now it is time to add the meat and briefly fry it on the onions. Traditionally this risotto is made with veal or beef meat but chicken would also be fine. If you prepare beef or veal risotto simmer meat cubes for some fifteen minutes while the chicken is to be simmered shorter.
• Generally, you should simmer the meat until it releases its juices and flavor. Add rice and simmer it all together until the rice absorbs the flavors of oil and meat; add salt and pepper, reduce the heat and continue cooking constantly stirring the ingredients. Continue adding beef or chicken broth as you stir the mixture.
• Risotto is ready to be served when meat and rice are soft and full of tasteful juice. Make sure you don’t overcook it so it does not get too dry. Serve the risotto with some finely chopped parsley on top of it and season it with full-fat grated cheese.

Bonus – Simple “boat-made” Meals

Great appetizer when your crew can’t wait any longer

Tapenade is a simple but delicious olive spread. It originates from Provence, France. There are different types of tapenade available in supermarkets, but a homemade one will for sure taste the best, and you can prepare it in just a few minutes. Find the full list of all the ingredients for tapenade .

• Black or green olives
• Few drops of extra virgin olive oil
• Salted anchovies fillets
• Toast, crackers, or bread
• Cold dry wine

The preparation time for tapenade is 10 minutes and that is also the total time for preparation. When it comes to serving just spread it on a toast. This recipe yields 4-6 servings.

• Black or green (or both!) olives should be chopped into very small pieces as well as the salted anchovies fillets. Mix them along with capers and few drops of olive oil until you get a smooth paste.
• Roast yesterday’s bread in the oven and rub it with garlic. If there is no bread you can do it with toast or crackers. Spread the tapenade over it and allow your hungry and inpatient crew a sip of cold dry wine.

Fresh and delicious appetizer

Spread the tapenade over the toasted bread and you will get a delicious bruschetta ! Almost everyone who has ever sailed has faced the situation when there has been too much bread left on board. The simplest and probably the most efficient way to use this bread is to grill it or toast it. There are hundreds of ideas to prepare a delicious  bruschetta .

• Bread or toast

The preparation time for bruschetta is 5 minutes and the total time for preparation is 11 minutes. When it comes to serving we recommend 4 slices. This recipe yields 4 servings.

• There are some yachtsmen (like me) who do not allow the wasting of food and bread that is neither eaten nor fresh anymore. The simplest and probably the most efficient way to use the bread is to grill it or toast it in the oven.

Additional Tips for Cooking On Board

The kitchen on board is not much different from your regular kitchen, but there is one significant difference – the size . In a galley kitchen, space is limited, as are fuel and refrigeration, so you need to plan simple meals and organize. Below you may find a shortlist of tips, and a full list of tips is available on cooking aboard a yacht .

• To use the space wisely, bring only the minimum of cooking equipment (it is good to have at least one pan with a locking lid for cooking one-pot meals in rough weather)
• Attach pockets for storing silverware, spices, and tools to the wall
• Put away any dangerous utensils if you are not using them because a boat moves even when docked
• Make sure that everyone in the crew knows how to light the stove and control the fuel supply safely
• If it is a gas installation, keep the gas turned off at the bottle when you are not using the oven
• Bring enough water
• Check out this useful tip for cooking fish onboard

Now that you’ve prepared your favourite dish from the list, all that is left to do is put on a good sailing movie , open a good sailing book or put on some fine sailing music and you’re ready to enjoy yourself. Furthermore, don’t forget to see what we’ve put on a list of Greek food and Spanish food you must try.

Or if you don’t feel like cooking, you can always find some great restaurants nearby. Also, check out our Pinterest board dedicated entirely to cooking on board.

6 thoughts on “What to Eat when Sailing: 10 Simple Meals Ideas for Your Sailing Holiday”

I shall be sailing for two weeks with little chance to top up the larder with fresh supplies, and with the fridge off to spare the batteries, I have been looking for a website or blog that might advise me what to buy on the basis that I won’t be able to refrigerate it. Your website comes close, but do you have other suggestions? Rupert Hancock

Hello Rupert,

Thank you for your question. It’s true, in our post we have gone through a lot of easy recipes to prepare while sailing but a lot of them (if not all) require groceries that must be kept in a refrigerator. Your situation for sure looks specific but there is a solution to everything!

For instance, a lot of vegetables do not require to be kept in a refrigerator. Even better, a lot of vegetables we keep in a fridge is usually kept there out of the convenience rather than necessity. I believe all vegetables would be fine and would last for all 2 weeks but that also depends on many other factors, for instance, how fresh have they been when you bought them etc. Same goes with fruit too.

Other things you should consider taking are all kinds of grains and nuts. They have a lot of fiber and protein make a great breakfast. Also, they do not go bad in a room temperature so easily. Don’t forget to bring tea and coffee as well. Honey is also a must have and bread that has been out for a couple of days can always be grilled.

I must recommend bringing fresh lentils, beans, chickpeas and groceries like that. They can’t go bad on a two week sailing holiday and they can be made into delicious soup like dishes very quickly. My personal favourite is lentil soup that’s simply amazing and it can be made in under 30 minutes.

Good idea is to prepare some food in advance. For example, banana bread, muffins, energy bites or whatever comes to mind. Dessert wise, chocolate, fruit and premade raw cakes are a good idea.

Hope this helps. Have a great time sailing! Tin

That’s really nice post. Appreciate your skills. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re glad you enjoyed the post. Happy sailing!

Excellent blog!

Thanks, Tom! We appreciate your feedback and are thrilled to hear you like the blog. Stay tuned for more posts!
