"The AJ Meerwald is a beautiful ship with a wonderfully interactive crew. I had an incredible cruise out of Atlantic Highlands, and really enjoyed learning about the history of the ship and NJ’s oyster industry. Would highly recommend!"
"It was a wonderful afternoon aboard an authentic oyster schooner! The crew of the AJ MEERWALD is capable and friendly. I highly recommend htis."
"Very interesting place with a unique history. Informative introductory videos. Excellent exhibits, and their fried oysters were exquisite! So fresh and tasty! I'm so glad we made the trip out there."
"The Bayshore Center at Bivalve is the perfect place to spend a day. I learned so many new and interesting things from visiting the center, meeting new people, and enjoying a sail on the AJ Meerwald tall ship schooner, which was built on the Maurice River and used for oystering on the Bay back in the day. Delicious food on site as well. Lots of neat spots and roads nearby!"
"First off they are not closed. Very interesting history of the Oyster industry that was there. Very well done museum and all the staff were great. The ride on the boat turned out to be more fun than just a ride. They were short on crew ,so us passengers helped hoist the sails. Also there is protected marsh lands nearby that are worth looking at."
