Looking back on Winter 2024 - Dinner on the Beauport

A new ish addition to Cozumel is the opportunity to dine aboard a luxury cruise ship, the Beauport.  So a bunch of us ladies did!

The Beauport has an interesting history. It was built in 1960 in Lauzon, Quebec and served as a Canadian Coast Guard ice beaker in the St Lawrence river for about 30 years.  In 1993, she was refitted as a luxury yacht, sold privately, and used for exploration by the Jacques Cousteau foundation. In 2019, the Beauport Foundation was created and the ship was again restored. The Beauport now has a private American owner.  It operates under a Panamanian flag, but calls Cozumel home. 

The dinner experience included a short ride between shore and The Beauport in a small motor boat.  And a tour of the Beauport's passenger sleeping cabins, the captains quarters, pilot house, and even a peek into the kitchen.  Before we were seated at a beautiful table on an outside deck.  The main course and dessert were crazy delicious. And the service very attentive.  All wonderful!  

The only not so wonderful part was my seasickness.  Which started during the tour.  Likely because it was hot in the rooms, and i could not / did not keep my eyes on the horizon.  Poopy!!

Despite this, it was a lovely evening, and I'm glad I went.  

Thank you Pat, for organizing us :)
