None of the four tour boats already mentioned are looking to service boaters like this with a take out window while out on the water. They all move along at about 20-mph or so.

Will the Marine Patrol agree to The Dive's plan for an on-the-water, while underway, or adrift, or anchored take out service window for boaters? It is a wack-a-doozie plan!

Why would Marine Patrol have any jurisdiction over this food operation, other than the vessel safely requirements and inspections for a commercial vessel? They obviously had MP do the inspection and issue the ok.

Do you think MP would actually give them the all-clear on the vessel, but not tell them that once they got on the water to operate the business, they were going to shut it down? It would be kind of like the State Cops telling the local ice cream man or food truck that they can’t do business. Why can’t people just let this guy give it a go without all of the peanut gallery putting in their (useless) opinions?

This guy (or girl) has invested a lot of time and money to get to this point. At least he’s not sitting home collecting welfare, or shooting up heroin somewhere! I hope they kick ass!

Amen! Definitely no shortage of (negative) armchair quarterbacks out there...

Easy answer:
At headway speed or no wake speed, you can be well within 150 feet of another boat or object and since you are not tying off, there is no rafting issues

Seems like The Dive will have to anchor. It's one big sail
