Boatnerd Discussion Forum

[quote="Mr Link"]Their schedule shows that they will be doing nighttime sailings from June 10 to Sept 5 this year. But during that time frame most rooms are booked by the general public and would not be available for a group function.

The Boatnerd Badger gatherings have in the past been done outside of that window, when only one daily trip is offered. In the past the SS Badger would rent rooms overnight while the boat was at the dock (ie the Badger Boatel). This is what it appears that the company will no longer be doing since it requires a staff of housekeepers, security, etc.[/quote]

They stopped the boatel a while ago, even before the Covid restrictions

Are they not sailing at night anymore?

Badger staff.

Boatnerd.......or Badger staff?

Boatnerd has been working on this. No staff to do an overnight.

Haven't seen anything. Just wondering if there is the annual overnighter on the Badger is in the forecast, or has become a thing of the past? Would sure be interested if it were. Wondering if Covid, or the new owners, have anything to do with it.
