OnBoard Magazine - Issue XVII - 2025 Season

a point to attend each year, new customers are welcomed to christen their new boats with a bottle of champagne and a toast with the crowd. Four boats were christened in St. Michaels last year, including a pair of Sabre Yachts, a Galeon and a Fairline. "The christening ceremony was really nice. Our broker, Scott James, coached us through the ceremony," recounts Eugene Thompson, owner of a Sabre 38. "Diana broke the champagne bottle on the first attempt! Bluewater did an excellent job hosting this event, the food was first rate, the drinks plentiful and the entertainment was outstanding. This is a must-do when you buy a boat through Bluewater!" No trip to Maryland is complete without crabs, and attendees were not disappointed to hear that the neighboring Blu Miles Seafood Grill was rented to host an Eastern Shore crab feast. The groups spent hours picking crabs, soaking up the air conditioning and sharing memories, as well as some friendly arguments over which tables were getting more of the prized jumbos. Following the long lunch, attendees dispersed either throughout the town or back to their boats to get some much-needed rest before dinner and dancing at nearby Harrison Harbor Lights.
