The
Black-Eyed Susan, an authentic "turn-of-the-century" paddlewheel
driven riverboat, undoubtedly offers the finest
dining on the water, reminiscent of the early era
of Baltimore's Inner Harbor. This beautiful and
exclusive charter boat enhances the attraction
of Baltimore's skyline, and provides a warm and
outstanding venue for private and corporate entertaining.
The Black-Eyed Susan is U.S. Coast Guard certified
for 149 passengers, plus crew. It is the successor
of our first dinner boat, the Harbor Belle, which
cruised the Inner Harbor from 1994 through 1998.
The legacy of the Harbor Belle, acclaimed during
that time to have the finest food and service on
the water, can be experienced aboard the larger,
more exquisite, Black-Eyed Susan.
The
Black-Eyed-Susan is 111.5 feet long and 28 feet wide.
The Victorian-style interior of the main deck has
seating capacity for 149 guests in a fully climatized
setting. The luxuriously appointed salon includes
a hand-rubbed oak bar, 9' high ceilings, Tiffany
chandeliers and antiquated brass sconces mounted
in-between picture windows framed by elegant treatments.
The upper deck, perfect for a wedding ceremony,
is canopied with fold down clear Lexon sides for
inclement weather and the colder months. Heat is
provided during the winter months to maintain comfort.
Complete restrooms are available on both our main
and upper decks.
The
Black-Eyed Susan is available for cruises seven days
a week. It is ideal for weddings, rehearsal dinners,
Bar/Bat Mitzvahs, proms, banquets, corporate functions
and crab feasts. Casino packages are also available.
Service is provided by our professional staff who
have worked for our affiliated catering companies
for many years. We emphasize Southern Hospitality
in a warm atmosphere. The Black-Eyed Susan is currently
docked near the Bo Brooks Crab House at the Baltimore
Marine Center at Lighthouse Point in Canton. There
is ample parking available. We can also board your
guests in Historic Fell Point at the Broadway Pier,
the Maryland Science Center in Harborplace, and at
the Inner Harbor East Marina at the MarriottWaterfront.
The Black-Eyed Susan will be an outstanding setting
for the special event or occasion that you are planning.
