    Perfection

    We got married on Yacht Starship IV out of Clearwater Beach and our wedding day was absolutely incredible. Everything went so perfect and smooth. Joey, our venue coordinator was phenomenal down to every detail and keeping things running smoothly. We can't thank him enough for taking care of us on our day. The other staff and Dj Pharaoh were also incredible. We have heard from family and friends that it was one of the best weddings they have ever been to! We cannot thank them enough for making it so special for us.

    Amazing wedding

    We would definitely recommend The Yacht Starship for your wedding. The wedding coordinator Joey was absolutely fantastic! He made sure everyone was taken care! Starship truly did everything for us and planning was a breeze. A lot of things we didn’t have to worry about and the things they weren’t able to provide like a photographer they had an amazing list of recommendations. We truly want to thank starship and we will definitely be back on their dinner cruises.

    Joey helped us arrange our reception in March 2023 and it was amazing. Our wedding was well organized, the food was great, and all our guests couldn't stop raving about what a great time they had. Would absolutely recommend to anyone considering.

    Yacht Starship IV

    Yacht Starship IV was an absolute DREAM wedding! From the coordinator (Amelia - amazing), staff, food, timing, location.. it was exactly what i had pictured for our wedding! The DJ, captain, coordinator, and staff were so accomodating to everything I asked and made sure we were taken care of. We got married in March with the perfect weather. Ceremony, first dances, and all our reception dancing took place on the top deck - so fun!

    StarShip Yacht Tampa Wedding

    Our wedding on the StarShip Yacht Tampa was everything we could have dreamed of. It exceeded our expectations. Our Event Coordinator, Joey, created my vision with the decorations I provided to him. Joey kept us on track with the tight agenda. Everything went so smoothly. The views on the boat were absolute perfection. We loved the ceremony, which was on the top deck. The service was amazing. We all danced the night away and even heard some people say, "This is the best wedding I have been to." I would recommend the StarShip to all brides who love the water, the outdoors, and want to do something different. Note - we did the StarShip 2 and had 110 people.

    Amazing venue

    Everything about this experience was amazing. From my first communication with Christine, to all of the planning Rachel helped me with over the months leading up to the wedding, her ability to keep me calm with the impending hurricane and the flawless delivery of service the day of the wedding. The staff aboard were all kind and attentive, Captain Dave was the perfect DJ and all of our guests have been raving about the event! Truly a fairytale turned reality. Just incredible!!

    Yacht StarShip's reply:

    Congratulations, Jenny! Thank you so much for creating a sea of memories with us. We absolutely love to hear from our brides and wish you a lifetime of happiness!

    Amazing Venue and amazing staff!

    How do I even start? I can't thank the Yacht Starship enough for being there for us and helping to guide me during the most stressful time of our lives. Getting married during a global pandemic is so stressful and heart wrenching. Our original wedding date of 3/28 had to get canceled, as that is when lock down started. The team dealt with me emailing and calling multiple times a day leading up to the cancellation given the non stop changing of rules and watching the whole world slide to a stop. My dream wedding that I had planned down to the little details was essentially ruined (in my eyes at the time). We moved our date out 3 months with the guidance from Eric (who was amazing). I was nervous once our 2nd date was approaching, but Eric was so helpful and helpful me off the ledge a few times. Eric and his team brought my vision to life! Our wedding was much smaller than we thought, but every detail was perfect and so glad we went through with the day. Thank you for making our day so special and being such a big part of it. I am forever grateful!

    Sheer perfection!

    If you aren't a planner this is what you need, they took care of every single detail. The Captain Taylor drove amazing at one point we didn't even know we were moving! The planner Eric was like family he took care of everything even bustled my dress. I look back month later and cant think of one thing that could have been better.

    Perfect Florida wedding!

    Ok first of all my wedding Cordinator, Eric Abril, was the best! This man got things done, answered all of my crazy questions over a year out, and even day of bustled my dress I mean he did everything for us and I am forever grateful for this man making my day come off without a hitch!
    The boat itself was so perfect! Food is always to die for, the DJ, Paul, was fantastic! All the staff was super friendly and ready to help! Highly reccomend this venue, even if just for a dinner cruise one night!

    Yacht StarShip's reply:

    Excellent from our first meeting to us leaving the yacht after the wedding. Every detail, all the staff, perfection and most importantly the views and the food! Our guests had a getaway while dancing the night away. Thank you for making our day as perfect as it was! The sunset during dinner, the views during the ceremony- PERFECT, best day ever!

    Awesome Event Packages

    I cannot recommend Yacht StarShip Cruises & Events highly enough! My spouse and I celebrated our Vowel Renewal ceremony on September 6th, 2023, and it was truly a magical experience. Despite organizing everything last minute, the team at Yacht StarShip went above and beyond to make our event unforgettable.

    From the moment we boarded the yacht, we were greeted with exceptional service and attention to detail. The breathtaking views only added to the romantic atmosphere of the ceremony. The staff was incredibly accommodating, ensuring that every aspect of our celebration went smoothly and according to our wishes.

    The entire experience exceeded our expectations, and we are grateful to Yacht StarShip for making our special day truly memorable. If you're looking for a unique and unforgettable event venue, look no further than Yacht StarShip Cruises & Events. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!

    I hope you find this review captures the essence of your experience with Yacht StarShip Cruises & Events!

    A big thank you to Wendy O. for making it happen, Jacee for the excellent service, and Captain Wade for the wonderful ride!

    This couldn’t have been better for our rehearsal dinner! The cruise was perfect for our out of state guests. They got to experience being out on the water, and getting to see Tampa. The staff was so wonderful, and Wendy was so prompt and helpful with all of our emails. Couldn’t recommend Yacht Starship enough!

    Amazing wedding yacht starship ii

    Wedding 3/23/23
    I can't say enough amazing things about the Yacht Starship! Our gorgeous Yacht was Starship II. We worked with Wendy Odom & Eric Abril both were so accommodating, answered every question and concern with the utmost professionalism! Always helpful !! The wedding went smooth as silk, we were guided every step of the way. Talk about attentive, the entire staff was exceptional! Anything we needed wanted or desired was foreseen by a staff member and delivered before we even asked! We had a sit down dinner for the reception. We chose steak, chicken or salmon everyone said their food was delicious! The DJ was great. The only thing I would have done differently would be to have the DJ announce the photo booth and its location so we may have taken more advantage of it. Otherwise the entire evening couldn't have been more PERFECT! Highly recommend this venue!
