Private Dockside Events

The Madam Carroll does not have catering facilities, but the venue is certainly equipped to handle outside catering for your special event. You may elect to bring your own food onto the vessel, or select a caterer of your choice.

While the choice of caterer is yours, we recommend utilizing Oak and Barrel for your event. Their team has years of experience and a robust understanding of the challenges that come with serving guests on board a water vessel. For catering options and food pricing for your event, you can call Oak and Barrel directly and ask to speak with a catering manger at this number: 574-583-7427.

The Madam Carroll has a full service bar and wait staff. Staffing for the boat is included in your rental costs. During dockside events we can operate as a cash bar, where your guests would pay for drinks as they go or we can operate as an open bar where the balance is paid by one individual following the cruise. We can also accomondate drinks tickets for guest as payment at the bar.

Throughout the year, the Madam Carroll hosts a number of fundraising opportunities. By chartering the boat, your organization can sell tickets to a specific event that you host. We can assist by building a marketing event through our website linking to where your tickets are sold electronically.
