February 9, 2006 Charley's Crab and the death of Chuck Muer Chuck Muer grew up in Michigan and opened a restaurant there in October of 1964. Later, he opened a restaurant named Charley's Crab in Palm Beach, Florida.
Their seafood is indescribably good and I've been scarfing meals at the Charley's Crab in Palm Beach for over a decade. Predictably, word about the food leaked out, so more Charley's Crabs popped up in South Florida like mushrooms after a spring rain. The tragedy is the story of poor Chuck's demise.
Here's a guy that had everything to live for. Here's a guy that was making money hand over fist, living in Palm Beach Florida.
Bought a sweet 40 foot boat and named it 'Charley's Crab'. He sailed back and forth between the Bahamas, which is pretty much the thing to do on the Treasure Coast. In the summer, crossing over to the Bahamas is a cake walk.
You could cross over to Grand Bahama Island in a 14 foot flat bottom boat with an outboard and a few jerry cans of gas. Plenty of people make the crossing without the aid of a GPS receiver. My brother-in-law said he and his brother used to do it all the time with nothing more than a compass.
Accounting for the Gulf Stream, they'd just head East South-East for 4 hours across the open ocean in a 20 foot boat and watch for Memory Rock on the horizon. In the winter, the seas are rough, but in the summer, unless there's a hurricane, the oceans are generally calm and the crossing is a cake walk. Chuck Muer had a big boat. A 40 foot boat is a large boat.
Now, I know, there are bigger boats. However rich you think you are, South Florida can be an humbling place. You pull into the dock and some guy next to you anchors his yacht and he's got rescue boats the size of your boat hanging from cranes over the stern of his vessel. But a 40 foot boat is a big boat. I've made the crossing more times I can count in boats ranging from 27 feet to cruise ships. But a 40 foot boat is a large boat and is certainly capable of making the crossing in anything shy of a full-blown hurricane. On March 13th of 1993, Charles and Betty Muer and their friends George and Lynn Drummey attempted to cross back from the Bahamas when a freak storm blew up.

The storm hit much more quickly, further South, and with greater intensity than had been forecasted. By the time the freak March storm left Florida, it had and done $500 million in damages. Then Governor wrote a scathing letter lambasting the National Weather Service for their poor forecasting. Chuck Muer's party had probably nearly completed the crossing before they heard any forecast of an impending storm on their marine radio.
By the time they knew of the storm, it was too late. Battling in the pre-dawn blackness, Chuck Muer placed two calls at 4:25 a.m. And 4:27 a.m.
To Palm Beach County's emergency center. But each time, there was only the crackle of static on the line.

They never found a trace from the wreck, and they searched like it mattered. They mounted a massive search and rescue operation, because the guy was as rich as Croesus, so they searched for him like it mattered.
This wasn't a Coast Guard search for a Hatian clinging to a palm tree in the Gulf Stream. This was a 'Holy Sh1t a jillionaire is missing calling-all-cars search-and-rescure' and they never found a trace of him. Later, the freak storm would be called the ', the ', or the 'Storm With No Name'.
(This was not the 'Perfect Storm' of October 1991 that sank the Andrea Gail.) In the aftermath of the tragic deaths, we are predictably left with a cacaphony of reverberating wrongful death lawsuits revolving around and the. In September of 2002, that dreadful blight of corporate cuisine known as. Rest In Peace Chuck Muer, Betty Muer, George Drummey, and Lynn Drummey. Update: Posted by Peenie Wallie on February 9, 2006 at 9:42 AM Comments. I worked for Chuck Muer Restaurants for almost 20 years as Payroll Administrator for his Pittsburgh restaurant.
Chuck was the kind of guy who might have been rich but he was approachable.down to earth and you could talk to him. When he came to town, he made the time to listen and talk to anyone who came up to him whether it was a manager or a dishwasher. In his restaurants all employees and their jobs were important.
I can still recall that day, March 13th, 1993 when one of our new Vice Presidents got off the phone and told me of Chuck's disappearance. Even months after that we half expected him to walk in the restaurant at any time. Tillman Fertitta could never fill Chuck Muer's shoes, I don't care how many restaurants he buys up. It's not the same since Landry's took over.
They are all about the money.Chuck was all about the customer, the employees and the best service we could provide. My heart still goes out to the Muer and Drummey families on their loss.
Posted by: Adrienne Franco on April 8, 2007 at 3:51 PM. Barbara, I did a cruise in the out-islands of the Bahamas on Charley's Crab in 1982, and Dick and Ellie Davidson were our skipper and first mate. They were fantastic people. We had tons of fun with them, cruising the peaceful waters on the lee side of all the islands. I remember that Dick loved African drumming, and we listened to all his tapes.
We also heard a lot of hilarious stories about his career in advertising. One night we were moored in the channel off the coast of a little uninhabited island, cooking dinner on deck. There were a couple of other boats moored closer in toward shore, and their crews were also cooking on deck. At a certain point, Dick looked at his watch and said, 'Watch this.' The crews of the other boats were suddenly attacked by swarms of marauding mosquitoes, and everyone scrambled for cover. Being further offshore, we had a nice breeze to blow the bugs away. Dick knew his stuff.
At the end of the trip, Chuck and Betty Muer showed up, and Chuck insisted on taking the boat outside, into the open waters of the Atlantic. Dick was not thrilled with this plan. My wife and I were utterly seasick and miserable. Posted by: Michael Krugman on September 24, 2008 at 9:16 PM. I think it was the second week of September 2010 that I was at Charley's Crab in Troy, MI, and the waitress said, 'Hope to see you soon' as I left. Two weeks later, my fiance' told me she'd heard from her mom that it had closed.
Chuck Muer Obituary
The scant details that I could find on the internet stated that the waitstaff weren't even told of this stupid move by Landry's, showing up for work, only to find none. I previously knew nothing of Landry's, but had a bad feeling when they started making their presence known by taking over the Muer Friends program. Now I know the feeling was very valid.
You hit the nail on the head. Landry's sucks.

One of South Florida`s most prominent restaurateurs was reported lost at sea on Tuesday, five days after setting sail from the Bahamas in a 40-foot sailboat. Chuck Muer, whose trademark Charley`s Crab restaurants are among more than 20 he owns in South Florida and elsewhere, was due in Jupiter on Saturday, the day a major winter storm battered the East Coast from Cuba to Canada. With him on the 40-foot Charley`s Crab sailboat were his wife, Betty, and friends George and Lynn Drummey of Michigan.
When they did not return as scheduled, ``we thought, knowing my dad, he`s probably hanging out in some little harbor, but Monday came around and my dad is always one for business,`` said daughter Julie Muer, who runs her father`s Magnum & Muer`s restaurant in Jensen Beach. ``My dad has been sailing his whole life, but that storm was so bad. Oh God, I don`t know,`` she said.
Chuck Muer Lost At Sea
The Charley`s Crab left on Thursday from Berry`s Islands, 20 miles northwest of Nassau, Coast Guard spokesman Roger Wetherell said. The Coast Guard on Tuesday contacted marinas and Bahamian search-and-rescue officials, and issued a marine alert seeking information about the boat, Wetherell said. Before beginning an air-and-sea search, the Coast Guard was trying to get a better fix on the last known location of the boat, officials said. ``That`s a huge area. That`s an unsearchable area, and the fact that the Gulf Stream is involved makes it even more difficult.
Friends Program Concord Nh
We need to narrow that down. We need to find somebody who`s talked to them in between those two ports (Berry`s Islands and Jupiter),`` Coast Guard Lt. Mark Dolan said.
The Gulf Stream has strong northerly currents. The fiberglass Freedom 40 sailboat, built in 1977, is equipped with a homing device that can be activated automatically or manually in an emergency to transmit a signal by satellite to the Coast Guard.
The device was not activated, officials said. Muer, 54, owns Charley`s Crab restaurants in Fort Lauderdale, Palm Beach and Jupiter; Pal`s Charley`s Crab in Deerfield Beach; Muer`s Seafood and Oyster Bar in Boca Raton; Chuck & Harold`s in Palm Beach; as well as other restaurants in Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Washington, D.C. Chuck and Betty Muer, who have residences in Palm Beach and in Michigan, have seven children. The son and grandson of Detroit restaurateurs, Muer as a boy worked for his father, Joe Muer, shucking oysters, busing tables and washing dishes.
He initially chose not to carry on the family tradition, studying accounting in college and working in sales for five years for IBM. ``But it just seemed natural to open a seafood restaurant after being involved in one from childhood,`` he once said. In 1992, with a total of 22 restaurants, Muer employed 2,000 people, about 40 percent of them in Michigan. He told Corporate Detroit Magazine the company had $60 million in revenue in 1991, with a 30 percent increase in profits from the previous year.
Charley`s Crab in Palm Beach grossed $5 million a year, he said. ``He`s been a great restaurateur for a long time.
He`s very prominent and successful in South Florida,`` said Brad Stapleton, maitre d` at Renato`s restaurant in Palm Beach. The sailing trip was to be a quick getaway. ``Dad had been working real hard and wanted to go sailing in his favorite little spot in the Bahamas,`` Julie Muer said. The Muers invited the Drummeys, who own car dealerships in Michigan. George Drummey and Muer were childhood friends, growing up together in the Detroit suburb of Grosse Pointe.
