Inside the cabins we’ll play the races on all the vessel’s large TV monitors. Cheer on your favorite horses and jockeys while taking in the sites, listening to live music, enjoying tasty, passed appetizers, and sipping a mint julep.

    To really set the scene, we encourage all attendees to dress for the event! We can’t wait to see your elaborate hats and seersucker suits. With everyone enjoying the live music entertainment, and holding the iconic Kentucky Derby drink, the mint julep, it will look like we’re at the races!
