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. 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. 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.
