Our choice of yachts are all Coast Guard Certified and are “purpose built” to be stable for events. These yachts only cruise on the protected waters of The Intra Coastal and Biscayne Bay. The water is shallow and protected all the time.

Yes, the boats are child friendly, but the crew are not baby sitters. It is the parent’s responsibility to make sure their child is supervised. On all the yachts we can hire a babysitter or add an extra crew member to leave the parents free to enjoy the event for additional costs.

The average charter length is 4 hours with 3 hours being the minimum. In all cases we can add extra time by the hour if requested. For example, we have found that 5 hours is the better choice for a wedding with ceremony while corporate events can be done easily in 3 – 4 hours.

Amount of time will be determined on the day of the event but there is always enough time allocated. Generally, for weddings we can arrange up to 2 hours if need be.

Each of the yachts that we work with have a qualified Chef on board and all foods with the exception of breads and pastries are cooked on board. All the yachts we use have a first-class galleys (kitchen).

All the yachts that we suggest have a qualified Chef and do not encourage outside catering unless there is a religious reason and the Chef cannot comply. In all cases where it is allowed there is a fee added to cover loss of food revenue. But it is possible.

Yes, these vendors can be used. Each yacht requires an outside vendor fee for use of your own Entertainment. In all cases the vendor must carry Liability Insurance.

We will only suggest yachts that have enough seating in the dining salon for all guests. In the event that you are having a more casual event we will suggest yachts with enough decks and outdoor space for your size of group.

Some yachts do have an elevator between decks that can be used for handicapped guests and elderly guests. In some cases, the crew can assist in getting handicapped guests on and off boats. Each situation will be analyzed for the correct procedure and to determine if this will work.

This situation depends on the reason. If there is an emergency of any kind the yacht can be boarded by medical personnel brought out and guests can be removed if needed. If it is just a case of someone wanting to leave because they “have had enough” then that is not possible. Once the boat leaves the dock your guests remain onboard until the boat returns to the dock.

All yachts operate in rain. All the yachts we suggest for your event will have ample space inside if the weather does not cooperate. Rain will not stop a charter unless however there is a named storm.

Very unlikely to happen as all the yachts we suggest are maintained regularly and undergo Coast Guard certification ever year. But to be sure all yachts cruise with an Engineer onboard.

Yes. All pricing is the same except there is no ceremony set up fee.

Rehearsals can be arranged at the discretion of each yacht and will depend on each yacht’s schedule. However, as yacht weddings are so well coordinated a rehearsal may not be needed as there is a coordinator with you the day of.

On most yachts there is an onboard coordinator who comes with the package at no extra fee. This can save a lot of money, as yacht weddings are so well organized an outside coordinator is definitely not needed. Save your money on this!

In all estimates we give on any of the yachts, the Champagne Toast is included and, in many cases, there is no fee for this when you are adding a full bar.

There are many hotels close to all the yacht locations. We will be happy to recommend any to you and help you with block bookings if needed.

No it is not required but is a “nice to have” as a guest manifest for the crew. As guests board they will be counted so that crew can log the actual number of adults and children onboard, counting the guests as they board is a Coast Guard requirement to ensure we are not over the maximum capacity.

Yes and a table can be set up for this on all yachts

We will give you the address of the dock where your yacht will be waiting.

Yes, all yachts can offer a sit-down option

Yes, most menus have vegan options, but full vegetarian meal requests can be accommodated.

Each yacht has different regulations but, on all yachts, there can be no open flames; nothing can be glued to the walls or ceilings and nothing can be used that will permanently mark the yacht. Once you have chosen your yacht we can discuss decorations but as the yachts are so nicely decorated, unlike a wedding hall, you will need minimum decorations.

Each yacht comes with standard linens and napkins in either white or cream and any other colors can be rented. The yachts do not come with chair covers but these can be rented.

On most of the yachts it is either 25% or 50% of the grand total on your estimate. These are non-refundable.

Each yacht has different requirements and this something that will be noted on the contract, generally about 15 to 30 days before your charter date.

You do not, we usually communicate by email, we will send you the contract and this can be returned signed and with a deposit to confirm your date.

No but we do have suggested photographers we can send to you

Generally the flowers are at the client’s discretion and are done by a local florist. There are exceptions where we can have the yacht add center pieces to the invoice but that is not typical.

Yes. Most yachts include an officiant, but you are more than welcome to provide your own

As long or as short as you want it to be, this is up to you.
