We offer Veterans and their spouses a unique experience. For those of us that have been able to enjoy boating we know how wonderful it is to be on the water. We have experienced the psychological and emotional benefits of spending time boating. We offer this experience absolutely Free to Veterans, Spouses & Families!
We offer Dinner Cruises for two! It's Date Night for the Veteran and Spouse. It is a 3 hour cruise out of our Marina in Birch Bay Village and includes a catered dinner for two!!

Marika & Russell Dawe owned and operated a fine dining restaurant in downtown Boise. They would close the restaurant to the public several times a year.
The restaurants windows would be blacked out and service was conducted under candlelight. Lots of candles as it was a 7,000 sq. ft. restaurant.
We offered that evening to the Veterans and their Spouses. It's was a magical evening! Many of the hundreds of Veterans would tell us that it was their "first date" since coming home from deployment!
It was a safe place and a romantic atmosphere that allowed them to reconnect. It was also the best nights for Marika & Russell in the entire year!
Thus, Date Night On The Water was born! We are fortunate to live in a community in Blaine that has a private marina and we have our own slips. We consider it a privilege and honor to be able to honor our heroes!!
