Our Wedding day was one to remember, not only for my husband and I, but for our guests as well. YachStarship's crew assisted us with things we never even thought of (they mailed our wedding license!); neither myself nor my husband had to worry about anything the day of the wedding, 100% enjoyed! Our guests left wishing to go again

Erin & Andrew 2020
We have had an amazing experience with Yacht Starship. We first met them at the Tampa Wedding Expo a few months ago. They have helped us with booking the best possible wedding for my fiancé and I. We will be on the Starship 4 celebrating the biggest day in our lives. We cannot thank you enough for this experience and making it as simple as possible.
Thank you!

Our Wedding
We had our amazing wedding on 9/21/19. We chose Yacht Starship after chatting with Laura at Yacht Starship,she made the decision easy. Then Eric stepped up and took care of us from then. He made sure to have all the bases covered. The week of our wedding when most brides are going crazy we didnt have any worries, thanks to Eric. He was calm and flexible. Our ceremony was beautiful and the Captain did a wonderful job at the ceremony and the other Captain did a great job at helping the photographer get spectacular shots.
The food was delicious. Our guests were well taken care of by the crew.
The DJ was on point the complete cruise.
At the end of the night Eric had us all packed up and they even pack my husband and myself dinners for later.
Our guest enjoyed a cookie while departing.
You want an amazing wedding with no worries Yacht Starship would really be the only choice.
