Food is a very important part of any trip aboard the David B. Meals are the times and place where we exchange stories and forge friendships that last a lifetime. Each meal prepared aboard the David B is intended to give you the opportunity to slow down and enjoy the flavors of the Pacific Northwest while having the time to enjoy the company of others.

 Sample Menu for a Four-Day Trip:

 Each day on the David B begins with an early bird treat of a fresh baked pastry out of the oven before breakfast. We love to start our day with a strong cup of coffee or tea and a muffin while breakfast is being prepared.

When we designed the interior of the pilothouse we wanted the galley to be the main focus. We chose a wood-burning cook-stove to be the heart of the galley because the stove generates warmth for companionship as well as meals prepared with wood are both special and memorable. Each loaf of bread that is made and every soup and sauce is given extra attention when cooking with wood. That extra attention we do for you because we know that your time aboard the David B is special and the galley is a place where that special feeling comes alive. 

The menu on the David B is varied due to availability of seasonal fruits, vegetables, meats and fish. If you have special dietary requirements please let us know ahead of time so we can accommodate your needs.
