The good news is It's a 5 hour cruise with a buffet, an upper deck bar with meal service, live music on two floors, live gambling, slot machines everywhere, elevators and sexy little waitress that bring free drinks if you're lucky enough to find one when you need one. Cruises used to be one of the few places you could find casino gambling in the United States outside of Las Vegas or Atlantic City.A cruise ship would leave port, and the casino would open as soon as the ship was three miles offshore in international waters. As the world’s third largest cruise passenger port, Port Canaveral is a homeport to Carnival Cruise Line, Disney Cruise Line, Norwegian Cruise Line, and Royal Caribbean International. These companies offer some of the most innovative cruise experiences to the Caribbean on the high seas today. Harbor Lights Casino Cruises, Inc. Is a Florida Domestic Profit Corporation filed on July 15, 2003. The company's filing status is listed as Inactive and its File Number is P6. The Registered Agent on file for this company is Schillinger Charles A and is located at 1329 Bedford Drive, Melbourne, FL 32940.
SunCruz Casinos was one of many cruise lines that offered 'cruises to nowhere,' legally transporting passengers into international waters beyond the reach of federal and state gambling laws.
Four ships operated out of four ports including Jacksonville (SunCruz VII), Key Largo (SunCruz I), Myrtle Beach (SunCruz VIII), and Port Canaveral (SunCruz XII).[1]
On December 16, 2009, SunCruz Casinos was reported to be closing amid reports of owing $300,000 to the Canaveral Port Authority.[2] Parent company Ocean Casino Cruises filed Chapter 7 bankruptcy December 28.[3]
At the time of the filing of bankruptcy, there were about 300 full-time and part-time employees.[4]
History[edit]
In 1994 Gus Boulis, already a multi-millionaire by founding the Miami Subs sandwich shop franchise, bought a number of luxury yachts. He remodeled the yachts as casinos, and began to operate his 'cruises to nowhere,' sailing three miles from the Florida coast into what was then considered international waters.[5] There, out on the sea, passengers would gamble on poker, blackjack and slot machines. Boulis called his fleet of 11 ships the SunCruz Casino line. By the time he sold the company in 2000, SunCruz Casinos was earning tens of millions of dollars in annual profits, and employed over 2,000 people.
In September 2007, SunCruz discontinued operation at Palm Beach.[6] Service was subsequently discontinued at Daytona and Treasure Island.
Investigation[edit]
In the 2000s, lobbyists such as Jack Abramoff became involved illegally with the sale of the line. Boulis was murdered in 2001.
