Food Ideas for your cruise!

Not only is it great to have a good drink (or two) on Queen City Cycle Boat, but snacks are encouraged as well! You need alllll of the party fuel you can get! You are welcome to bring anything you want from home, we have even had an oyster shucker on board in the past! However, in case you are looking for some suggestions, we have put together a tried-and-true list of cycleboat worthy food ideas:

• One Board Blonde, our go-to for charcuterie and fruit plates.

• Brunch box from Sweet Melissa – perfect for those early cruises!

• Pearl Street Market for literally anything you can think of!

• Hoagies and garlic knots are perfect boat treats – and Barry’s does them best.

• The crew at Panzone’s have started making the most adorable, individual custom charcuterie boxes, perfect for any celebration.

• Queen City Market, right here at the Marina, offers catering of all types and they will deliver right to the boat!

Bachelorette Parties On LBI, NJ

So you have your besties, a date and a house on LBI – you are ready to have the time of your life at your bachelorette party! While great company on the beach is the backdrop for a great getaway before the big “I Do,” we put together a list of fun activities to add to your itinerary. Make sure you check out Host on the Coast as well for all of your planning needs!  

• Of course, Queen City Cycle Boat is a must! We have private options and many time slots available for booking here. Don’t forget your charcuterie from our fave, One Board Blonde!

• Pack a picnic with items from Pearl Street Market and head to the beach for some fun in the sun, followed by frozen cocktails at the outside bars at the Sea Shell

• For a casual dinner night, head to Blue Water Café. Make sure you try the chowder! While you are waiting, head next door to Sink R Swim Men’s Shop and get something to bring home to your hunny.

• Surprise your girls (or your bride!) with a unique picnic from Picnic Perfect LBI.

• Looking for a great sunset for dinner? Head to Parkers Garage (more upscale) or Polly’s Dock (a cute little hidden gem). Both are BYOB! 

• Get your energy back with some necessary (and delish!) coffee from Guapo’s.

• Rent Surrey Bikes from Surf Buggy Bike Shop and DIY a scavenger hunt – who can get to The Black Whale for a shot of tequila the quickest?

• Stop at Barry’s Do Me a Flavor for Fish Tacos and a Pamwich

• If you are here on a Sunday, hit Bird & Betty’s “Daqs on the Deck.” You don’t HAVE to have a famous Shipwrecker, but it is recommended! 

• Take an afternoon to visit the Island’s great shopping choices such as Sur la Plage, How to Live, Farias and the shops in Schooner’s Warf/Bay Village (make sure to grab the most amazing fudge from Country Kettle).

• Set up a painting class with The Bunk House in Schooners Warf.

• Grab a bottle of bubbles from Rommel’s and head to Uncle Wills for great breakfast eats and a little hair of the dog 😊

• For a true clam bar experience, hit up Dock & Claw

• Stop at the Hudson House late night for some drinks and classic games – LBI’s favorite dive bar

• Ride the pink bus to Nardi’s

• Dance the night away at The Sea Shell, The Marlin and Bird & Betty’s 

• LBI has the BEST sunsets. Head to the roof of Tucker’s Tavern for specialty cocktails and to watch the sun go down.

• A post happy hour ride on Fantasy Island’s Sea Dragon is always, always good for the soul.
