Book them now, they are seriously amazing!!

We cannot say enough amazing things about Sun Dream Yacht Charters! From start to finish, the experience was absolutely flawless. Wendy, the wedding coordinator, was nothing short of incredible—infinitely patient, always accessible, and genuinely invested in making sure every detail was perfect. No matter how many questions I had, she was always quick to respond and so reassuring throughout the entire planning process.

The service on the yacht exceeded every expectation. My guests are still raving about how attentive and friendly the entire crew was. Everyone felt taken care of and welcomed from the moment they stepped on board.

We were leery when we were told we couldn’t do a food tasting, as my husband and I are huge foodies and having good food at our wedding was a big deal to us. However, we took a leap of faith, and it turned out the food was absolutely delicious, with everyone raving about one item or another.

One moment that truly stood out was how thoughtfully the staff handled dietary needs. One of my guests has celiac disease, and when he mentioned it to a server, he was immediately brought a special plate of gluten-free items. He was completely blown away by the care and attention—it meant so much to him and to us.

Sun Dream Yacht Charters delivered an unforgettable experience with exceptional service, professionalism, and heart. We had so much fun, and I am already thinking of booking them again if we ever renew our vows or celebrate a milestone birthday. If you’re considering them for a wedding or special event, don’t hesitate—you will be in the very best hands. We cannot thank you enough for making our wedding a dream come true. Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts.

Amazing day thanks to Kristin, Carol and the whole Sun Dream Yacht Crew!!!

Our experience with Sundream Yacht Charters was nothing short of extraordinary. Planning a destination wedding from Boston came with its fair share of anxieties, but thanks to the exceptional team at Sundream, our special day was not only flawless but truly unforgettable.

From the very beginning, Kristen, the manager, was an absolute dream to work with. Her professionalism, promptness, and attention to detail set the tone for what would become the easiest planning process imaginable. She was always just an email or call away, responding quickly to every question, big or small. Kristen’s dedication ensured that every element of our wedding was thoughtfully organized, making us feel confident and at ease despite the distance. Her ability to anticipate our needs and address concerns before they even arose truly showcased her expertise and commitment to excellence.

Then there was Carol, our on-board event coordinator, who took our breath away with her impeccable attention to detail. From the moment we stepped onto the yacht, it was clear that Carol had meticulously curated every aspect of our event. Her warm, calming presence allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in the joy of the day, knowing she had everything under control. The decor, the flow of the event, the coordination with vendors—every detail was executed to perfection. Carol’s passion for her work shone through in every interaction, making us feel like our wedding was as special to her as it was to us.

The yacht itself was stunning, offering a luxurious and elegant backdrop that our guests are still raving about. The ambiance, the seamless service, and the breathtaking views created an atmosphere of pure magic.

Thanks to Kristen’s flawless planning and Carol’s extraordinary coordination, our wedding was more than just an event; it was a beautiful, stress-free celebration that exceeded our highest expectations.

Dream Wedding on Sun Dream

Mark and I had our dream wedding on Sun Dream. It was a superb experience, from beginning to end. The yacht, the décor, the location, the water, the food, the music … Need I say more?
Ms. Kristin Sloan was in charge of our account. She showed us two yachts when we were still trying to decide on our wedding venue (Sun Dream and Catalina). From the first moment we saw the Sun Dream, we fell in love with it. It is like a jewel. A bit tighter than the other yachts, I would say, but just right for about 40-50 people. Kristin was always available for the many questions that I had about the event. She showed great knowledge, patience, and professionalism, even after the wedding.
The yacht has its own caterers and recommends certain decorators and DJs who are familiar with the yacht, but they also accept other vendors, as well. We chose the yacht caterers, which proved to be a great decision. The passed starters, the entrée, the desserts and wedding cake, everything was incredible! Besides, the service during our 5-hour wedding was exceptional, very prompt and professional. For days our guests raved about the food quality and the wedding in general.
I highly recommend Sun Dream, for any special occasion, whether wedding, birthday, retirement party, or corporate event.

Best wedding ever with Sundream!!

My husband and I recently had our ceremony and reception on the My sundream yacht with sundream yacht charters on April 20th. From the first email working with Crista and Kristen, to the hand off to the day of coordinator Wendy, everything was absolutely perfection. We picked sundream because we wanted an all inclusive style wedding that was laid back and we couldn’t have asked for anything better than what we received. The food was off the charts incredible- the chef is also the sweetest person in the world- our family and friends are still raving over the food. THE STAFF. I truly wish I had all the money in the world to tip this staff because they deserve it. Wendy was incredible, she scheduled everything for us day of and made sure every detail was locked down. Also, she is so funny and sweet and overall I loved having her in my corner for our wedding day. Her team on the boat- Kimberley and the others- amazing people and incredible at their job. They made this day TOP NOTCH.

I could write all day about how we had the time of our lives… but I think you get the point. Book sundream NOW for your wedding, event, whatever it is!! Thank you everyone for making our dream come true❤️

An Amazing Wedding Venue The Best Ever

Getting married in the Venice of America in Fort Lauderdale ? Why not consider the Sun Dream Charted experience ? This is an amazing venue. Being married on a Private Yacht by its captain on the inland waterway. This was an outstanding experience that will last a life time. This charter service on the Sun Dream could not have been any better, from the Crew, Food, Bar Service and it's Captain. Fantastic value and amazing start to your Wedding Dreams

Perfect venue

What a perfect night! The staff was courteous, pleasant and most attentive. Robert was instrumental in getting my video to work on the TV! The food was delicious, roast beef was “out of this world”. The boat was clean & spacious & beautifully classy. The variety of settings were wonderful both indoor with dining & dancing but also outdoor ( which is the reason we had this destination wedding). It helped that the weather cooperates too!
This was as enjoyable experience as you could ever have!
