Wedding Event Private Cruise

About Our Wedding Event Private Cruises

Whether by day, sunset, or moonlight, these memories will last a lifetime. This venue is ideal for small wedding ceremonies of up to 25 attendees and receptions, rehearsal dinners, bachelor and bachelorette parties up to 50 total attendees using all four spacious decks.

The yacht features four seating decks, two restrooms, a heated buffet for food service, refrigerators and freezers for food storage, a serving bar, a big screen television, ship-wide stereo, and a swimming platform. Your guests may choose their own seating and move freely around the yacht to enjoy comfortable air-conditioned dining on the main deck (25 seats), shaded or fire-side open-air dining on the roof-deck (25 seats), open-sky seating on the sunset deck (eight seats), and close-to-the-water dining on the barefoot deck (six seats).

Reservations & Pricing

Reserve your special dates by booking online, which places a $750 refundable deposit ($375 off season) toward the total cost of the wedding event cruise. The final balance will be billed and payable in two invoices by cash, check, or credit card before the day of the cruise. Our wedding event planner will contact you to discuss your specific desires and the total cost of the wedding event cruise.

The total cost of the wedding event cruise is determined by your desires for cruise duration, catering, bakery needs, entertainment, floral decor, professional services, etc. The total cost of the wedding event cruise will include 7% NC sales tax and an optional 18% gratuity. Online payments will also incur a 6% processing fee.

The crewed yacht is priced by the hour with a two-hour minimum. Two to two and a half hours is usually ideal for relaxing dinner cruises and receptions, small parties, and cold weather cruises where guests may prefer the indoor seating deck. Three to four hours is typically well suited for combination wedding and reception cruises, more rambunctious warm weather wedding party events, and bachelor and bachelorette parties where guests want extended enjoyment of live entertainment, ongoing food service, and spirited drink.
