About Us
The plushly decorated interior with its panoramic windows and rooftop deck make it the perfect setting for parties, business meetings, bridal showers, weddings, receptions, and events of all kinds. A cruise on Chablis will be a lasting memory. We are now boarding between Great American Fish Co. and Lil Hut Fish & Chips; on the north end of the Embarcadero.
The owners of Big Rock Charters, LLC and the Chablis are Annie Clapp, Shasta Rouch Birkey, and Patti Rouch. Annie is classically trained in front-of-the-house and kitchen management. Shasta is retired from the armed forces after serving 20 years with the US Navy. Annie and Rodney have four children. There is a good chance you will see one or more, as you enjoy the Chablis, where they frequently help out. The Chablis was delivered from its previous home in San Francisco Bay on April 5, 2007.
Big Rock Charters, LLC is a member of the Morro Bay Chamber of Commerce and the San Luis Obispo County Visitors and Conference Bureau.
Meet Our Crew
Annie Clapp
Captain Clapp
Trained as a classical chef in Portland Oregon, Annie is the jack-of-all trades. In addition to custom menus, she also has her captains license and can be found in the wheelhouse during many of our public cruises. As a mother of four, she is the consummate multi-tasker. Depending on the day, you may meet one of the kids helping out on board. A California native, she is an entertaining and proud Redwood Ranger Alumni.
Co-Owner Patti Rouch
The voice on the phone…
Patti retired as a nurse practitioner in 2017 and is the proud mother of the other two owners. If you have called us, chances are you have spoken with Patti. She is the voice on the other end of the line with all the answers to your questions and the details about public and private charters.
Co-Owner Shasta Birkey
A truly amazing super woman
Shasta is marvelous. She is a retired Navy diver, (we have yet to have her scrape our hull though). She is smart as a whip and has an incredible sense of humor. Shasta is married to Captain America and they have two rambunctious boys who desperately want to take a turn at the helm!
