Wow!!! This was by far my favorite event from my wedding weekend. Jane was absolutely a delight to deal with- kind, thoughtful, creative and incredibly helpful. Bree was also such a pleasure to work with and to be honest I just love these gals! My events was so much fun- everyone enjoyed every minute. The food was fabulous, drinks were perfect, service amazing, the yacht was immaculate and the event was incredibly classy! Seriously even the sunset was perfection! I could not be happier!!!

There are not enough words to describe the experience with FantaSea Yachts! From the first contact with Jasmine through the planning, food tasting and final event, they were beyond helpful, patient, very responsive and exceeded on EVERY LEVEL. Our wedding reception was magical and their level of service was noticed by all of our guests. The food was outstanding, the attentiveness of Leslie and Jasmine was spot on to make sure everything was on time, guests were happy and that my husband and I could relax and not worry about anything but celebrating!!! Every single thing about that night and from every experience since the first contact EXCEEDED our expectations! Guests said it was the most beautiful reception and was complimented with the incredible food and top notch service! We couldn't agree more and so grateful to everyone at FantaSea Yachts!!! Special thanks to Jasmine and Leslie, you two are nothing short of AMAZING!

We had a reception party on their catamaran and it was better than anything we could have asked for. Everything was PERFECT. Everybody left the ship elevated and happy. The crew was out of this world. Amazing service, yet they were invisible the whole time, except for the DJ and Bartender who served to keep the energy flowing. Thank you so much for this.

I want to start by thanking Kevin Lorton, who has been my main point of contact throughout planning my brother’s wedding renewal. As the wedding coordinator, I had a lot of questions, requests, and last-minute changes—and Kevin was incredibly patient with every single one. From arranging a tour of the boat to responding quickly to my texts and always making himself available (or getting back to me promptly when he wasn't), Kevin provided nothing but excellent service. He was courteous, pleasant, professional, and truly someone you want on your team during such an important event. One thing that really stood out is that the bride and groom’s budget was $10,000, and they ended up spending $8,707.14—which means Harbor Breeze Cruises not only delivered a beautiful event but also fully met the couple’s financial expectations. That alone speaks volumes about their honesty, transparency, and commitment to their clients. Kevin also introduced me to Kim Spucces, who was on deck the day of the event, and she was absolutely phenomenal. Whatever I needed, Kim was right there to help—always checking in, making sure everything was running smoothly, and offering assistance before I even had to ask. Her professionalism, calm presence, and genuine kindness made the entire day flow effortlessly. I also want to acknowledge the rest of the staff—from the bartenders to the catering team from Gladstones. I feel bad I didn’t get all of their names, because every single person provided outstanding service. And the food? Some of the best we’ve ever had. Our guests were impressed, satisfied, and raving about it afterward. From start to finish, Harbor Breeze Cruises exceeded every expectation. I couldn’t have asked for a better team, smoother experience, or more memorable celebration for the bride and groom. Would I recommend them? Absolutely—without hesitation. Whether it's a wedding, anniversary, party, or any special celebration, I highly recommend Harbor Breeze Cruises. Thank you again to the entire Harbor Breeze team—your professionalism, kindness, and exceptional service made this event unforgettable. 🙏💙

If you are looking for a unique and memorable wedding reception that is well priced, look no further than the Scarlett Belle! Michelle and her team exceeded our expectations in every aspect! From the very first call, Michelle gives you bottom line pricing that is 100% transparent. No hidden fees or extras. Taxes and tips are all included in the prices that are discussed and displayed. She took calls and answered texts leading up to the event as well, which was extremely helpful! If you have your own style and preferences, you are permitted to bring and set up your own decorations which our family took advantage of doing. She only works with one catering company (DJ's Catering, our food was DELICIOUS!), one DJ and one photo booth and has great bar tending and serving staff. This removed so much stress as we did not have to coordinate multiple vendors at all. Plus, since they all work together regularly, the reception is a very well oiled machine! Our wedding was in July 2025. We took the boat out on the harbor which was very relaxing and all of our guests thoroughly enjoyed. There were so many great photo opportunities and memories made. My wife, friends and family could not stop talking about our wedding the week after and it has continued to be brought up ever since. They also do other events such as corporate parties and proms. My wife and I highly recommend hiring them. For your next big event, call Scarlett Belle and make it an unforgettable experience!

We had a surprise wedding! Everyone thought the big surprise was a proposal, then dinner, but the real surprise was 25 minutes later, we’d get married! The staff was excel, food perfect, the staff kept the surprise and it was an epic event!!

Couldn't be happier! Our wedding was on the perfect day at sunset and from start to finish the communication, efficiency, and skill of the staff and the vendors was unbeatable. We couldn't believe that the cost was so affordable for the value. The food was delicious, their vendors were all on the same page and just felt like one flawless event. Our props to Susan for planning and Jen as the day of coordinator! Best wedding we could have even imagined, and wouldn't change a thing!

Compass Rose Charters made our wedding very memorable. Most of our guests had never been to the West Coast, so we figured this would be a perfect way for them to experience the Bay Area. Unfortunately the weather was pretty bad on the day of our wedding so we weren't able to go far, but the crew was so much fun that we didn't even notice. They had great appetizers while we were dancing and waiting for dinner and didn't mind that everyone was on the dance floor and singing. Ken was great at coordinating the extra decorations that I brought and making sure things flowed smoothly thoughout the night. Several people even went up to see the captain and thought that was pretty cool. The only thing that wasn't absolutely perfect was that it took a little while for all the plates to come out for dinner. But in the end everyone did get fed (and got some cake) and I'm sure it's not easy serving 30 people dinner from a ship's kitchen. The food was absolutely delicious and there were several menu options. I am a super picky eater (my friends were proud we weren't serving chicken nuggets and pizza) and I managed to find a meal that appealed to me. I would reccommend keeping a wedding on the smaller side if you plan to get married on the yacht. We had about 30 people and it was perfect. It was cozy, but not overcrowded. The reason that I gave a them a 4.5 on responsiveness is because I had a little trouble getting in contact regarding when I could drop of decorations in advance and whether the bridal party and I would be able to board early. They did get back to me well in advance of the wedding though and everything worked out just fine. Also, we got married right around the Christmas holiday and I'm sure that had something to do with it. Everyone had tons of fun at our wedding and I would defintely use them again for another event. Great food, great venue, and great staff!

We had an amazing day with the most beautiful sunset for our wedding that SBSC helped us capture. We are so grateful for the experience they provide our guest and us. Thank you so much once again!
