Awesome experience!

It was awesome! The whole experience was great - from the updates and communication from Molly and a wonderful trip led by Captain Mikey. The boat was beautiful, clean and meticulously maintained. Captain Mikey was very knowledgeable and took us to places we wanted to. Nice to be the only family on the boat and do what we wanted to. This experience is well worth every penny you pay. Highly recommended by our family. We'll definitely book a much longer trip next time.

Best Yacht Charter, Captain Greg and Molly H. Are the BEST!!!

We had a blast on the yacht. Captain Greg was great and made the charter fun! Molly and Greg H, went out of their way to pickup items for my charter since I was unable to. I wish I could give them 10 stars!
