Absolutely amazing!

I felt like I had a whole team of people working for me the night of the wedding. Any concern, request or drink I wanted was addressed as if it was the most important thing in the world! I felt like I owned the boat. All the staff worked so hard to make the guests happy and I honestly couldn’t imagine a better night. There was a wedding planner, a boat coordinator, a captain, the whole gang showed up for our big day. They worked with us through Covid and we ended up having exactly what we wanted despite restrictions. We are so thankful and would totally do something with them again for an anniversary party or something.

Everything was perfect, the staff ensured everything was ready and made the entire process of planning so easy. Food is absolutely delicious. Everyone that attended our wedding said it was the best wedding they had gone to in a long time. Definitely recommend.

Everything was perfect! both Heather and Amber were very accomodating, and got back to us so quickly with every question we had! The staff worked great together, and had everything set up perfectly when we arrived, and they were all so friendly, and fun throughout the evening!
The boat also provided the caterer.. the food was absolutely amazing! everyone is still talking about how yummy it was!
