Bay Shore paddlewheeler, two decks

The Lauren Kristy

The 150 passenger figure attached to The Lauren Kristy comes from third party editorial, and from four independent write ups that agree with each other. It does not come from the operator. We could not read laurenkristy.net at all, because the site returned HTTP 403 to every automated attempt and the connection to the host was refused outright. Every number on this page is therefore marketplace or third party, and we say which.

This is the most recognizable boat here and the hardest to verify

The operator's own website returns a 403 error to automated requests, and the connection this research ran through could not reach the host directly. That leaves WeddingWire, Yelp, TripAdvisor and a handful of editorial features as the entire record. Two phone numbers circulate, (631) 750-5359 and (631) 321-9005, and the operator references a second domain in its own newsletter. Before you rely on any figure below, call and have it confirmed. The 150 capacity in particular should be checked by phone, because a comfort observation on TripAdvisor puts a comfortable load nearer 75 people.

The wedding figures all come from WeddingWire

The WeddingWire storefront lists a peak season site fee of $1,509 and bar service starting at $15 per person, marketplace. It names ceremony, reception, bridal shower and engagement party among events hosted, which is the clearest confirmation available that ceremonies happen aboard. Catering is in house. The listing records cake cutting, dessert service and servers as included, and the bar package adds bartenders, a champagne toast and an open bar with house liquor and house wine. Separately, a public luncheon cruise is reported at $36.95 per adult and $24.95 per child under 12, third party editorial, and a retail dinner cruise for two has been listed at $119.90. Those last two are ticket prices for public sailings and have nothing to do with a wedding quote.

The accessibility survey is five years old and the only one on Long Island

Destination Accessible surveyed the boat and published the most specific accessibility disclosure of any Long Island vessel, third party. It records abundant accessible parking in the paved marina lot and a ramp from the wooden dock, with the main level reachable after stepping over a threshold lip. The upper deck requires twelve steps and there is no elevator. The restroom is single occupancy, very small and not accessible. The upper deck has roll up plastic windows. That visit is dated 13 September 2021, which makes it five years old as we publish, and the operator has confirmed none of it. Treat the whole survey as a starting point for questions.

Ask before you book

  1. What is the certificated passenger number on the vessel's current Certificate of Inspection, and can you email a copy?
  2. Is the 150 passenger figure in press coverage your actual capacity for a seated wedding?
  3. What is your wedding season, and what is the last date you sail in the fall?
  4. Has anything changed at the dock or aboard since the September 2021 accessibility survey, particularly the restroom?
  5. Which phone number and which domain are current, and which entity signs the contract?
