Thanksgiving on your boat is a great excuse for a fall cruise. In the pacific north west Thanksgiving weather can range from a gorgeous sunny weekend to a very wet rainy weekend. Over the years I think we’ve enjoyed Thanksgiving through the full spectrum of weather options.
Thanksgiving on your boat doesn’t have to be complicated, it’s whatever you want it to be. Our past Thanksgiving dinners have ranged from Cornish game hens, a spatchcock turkey, to haggis. Your menu is whatever you want it to be.
Here’s some ideas to help get you thinking about your Thanksgiving menu on your boat:
Appetizers
- Cranberry Brie Bites
- Bacon Brussel Sprout Skewers
- Charcuterie Plate
Main
- Spatchcock Turkey
- One-Pot-Turkey Dinner in the Instant Pot
- Herbed-Stuffed Cornish Game Hen
- Stuffed Turkey Breast bought or made
Dessert
- Pumpkin Pie Dip
- Red Wine and Cranberry Poached Pears
- Simple Cheater Triple Fudge Brownies
- Marshmallow Pumpkin Pi
- Peanut Butter Cup Trife
I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving on your boat, in whatever style you chose, from luxorious to simple, the important thing is you’re on the boat!
