Marissa Staaf(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 04-11-2022 Our wedding was everything and more than we imagined it would be. I'm so happy that we went with the Starship as our venue. We had our wedding on the Starship IV Clearwater Beach and it was so beautiful and a perfect set up for 75 people. Our coordinator was Amelia, DJ was Paul, and Captain was Brennan. We could not of had a better staff. Amelia stuck to the timeline and made sure everything ran seamless. For us, 5 hours was the perfect amount of time for our wedding and order of events. The staff was nice, and everyone had an amazing time. Plus, the food was incredible, and DJ Paul got everyone on the dance floor. If you are looking for something inclusive, different, and organized - pick this venue! We will never forget this day! Reviewed on 14-11-2022

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.

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 Reviewed on 15-11-2023

When we were searching for venues our primary concern was getting the most out of our budget. Most venues cost $5,000 just to rent the room before you do anything to it. What we really appreciated about Yacht Starship in the convenience and value. They handled every detail from start to finish and pretty much the only things we had to worry about ourselves was the personal touches; dresses, suits, cake, etc. Yacht Starship took care of the bigger things like catering, DJ, bar package, wedding coordinator, etc included in the cost. We could not find that value anywhere else. It was also so meaningful to be married on the Hillsborough River by the same company that owns the Pirate Taxis from our first date. We heard so many positive comments about our guests saying the Taste of Tampa buffet was the best food they ever had at a wedding. Truly a magical day. Reviewed on 10-11-2023

We wanted a unique all in one ceremony and reception, we were exploring downtown when we came across yacht starship we looked at each other and thought \"how cool would it be to get married on the water\". We did a little research and decided that was what we wanted. From the moment we contacted the boat for a meeting it was a amazing experience. We first met with Chris D to talk about the details, guest count, date and our vision once that was in place and contract was signed 3 month out we were contacted by Joey O (our day of coordinator). We scheduled an in person meeting to walk through the yacht and decide seating arrangements and table placements and talk time line. Every time I reached out with a question or concern I had an answer right away. Honestly this takes the stress out of wedding planning they were so helpful with everything. We were able to do a rehearsal the day before on our boat as well as bring on any décor that we would need to have set up & Joey made sure it was done and reflected our vision. Our wedding was Friday ,June 16th and was flawless. We are still getting compliments on the amazing food and service by the waitstaff. A huge THANK YOU to Chris D and Joey O for helping us plan & pull off a flawless wedding. Mr. & Mrs. Marczak Reviewed on 23-06-2023

Bryn Mars(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 07-04-2018 When you plan a wedding, stress levels are bound to get high. When the wedding is a surprise, as ours was, that stress level can get through the roof. But in the hands of the extremely capable Yacht Starship wedding coordinator (Chris D.) DJ (Will) and the attentive staff, we were stress free and the evening was better than we had imagined. When we were assigned Chris as our coordinator, we felt we had a parter and planner more than coordinator. She’s attentive, and will help you readily with any questions or weird requests (like not letting the guest know they’re coming to a wedding!). Other highlights included the food, which frankly was better than we had expected, and of course the gorgeous sunset. Our only hiccup was that we had the captain perform our ceremony (a $400 upcharge), which we had written. It was clear he had not read through it prior, and there were some obvious missteps on his part. Thankfully, my husband and I knew the vows well, and were able to recover where he fell. All in all- highly recommended for an intimate wedding with excellent views, and an above average crew! Can’t wait to go back for our one year anniversary! Reviewed on 27-04-2018

Roberta Sefcik(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 27-05-2017 We recently celebrated our wedding reception on the Yacht Starship II and had an outstanding experience. My husband and I live very busy lives out-of-state, and the staff of Yacht Starship made the wedding planning process simple for us (many thank yous to Chris and Wendy for their support). We found their reminder emails (and quick response to our communications) extremely helpful, as was our planning conversation over the phone (which they can do in person if you are able to travel - we did one in-person session on vacation to see the boat). The Yacht Starship II was very well-maintained, and the two sets of stairs to the upper levels were unexpectedly easy to navigate in a ballgown. The bridal suite on the first level was very helpful for the storage of materials for the bridal party, as well as a nice private environment for the bridal party to relax in. Our guests continue to comment on how delicious the food was, and the Yacht Starship was able to accommodate our allergy needs and allow our nut-free guests to enjoy our reception safely. The staff was also very easy to work with in regard to vendor delivery and coordination of vendors - they even recommended a cheaper vendor for us for group transportation that was so appreciated. At our reception, we had created our own centerpieces for the guests' dinner tables (as opposed to a florist) and we dropped them off at the Yacht Starship the day prior to our reception. The staff of the Yacht Starship arranged all 90 of our centerpieces, cake table, and sign in/gift table for us prior to our arrival and it was just as we had imagined the decorations to look - they were so wonderful at making our vision come alive. We even had a last minute idea to show a slide show about a week prior to the reception, and they were able to work with us to show the slideshow on a projector during dinner. At the reception, the staff of the Yacht Starship took care of all of the details and allowed my husband and I to simply enjoy the party. We would, without hesitation, recommend the Yacht Starship for your party planning needs. Reviewed on 05-06-2017

When we arrived we had a different dj than who was discussed. Music was SUPPOSED to be a big part of our day.. but the dj dropped the ball x1000. We prepared and sent a list of over 75 songs to ensure our favorites were played and the flow was as we wanted. But there were long pauses between songs and terrible music flow. It was obvious she has not reviewed the song list and was not willing to take requests the day of. The yacht was beautiful. The ride was smooth. And the food was VERY YUMMY!

Our guests raved about this event from everything down to the music and the food! Everything was amazing! Thank you guys for a wonderful evening. The only downfalls to this were that 1. Soda/Tea was not included in the price of guests dinner and once you provide a guest count (over 50 people) you CANNOT come down from that number but you can always add to it. So just make sure that you know that amount of people are coming so you don’t pay for people that wont be there. Honestly tho, that’s minor compared to the amazing experience we had!

Lisa Kelly(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 05-11-2016 We were married on 3-4-17 aboard the starship. From the very beginning to saying good-bye ALL the staff was extremely attentive, always available to answer my (sometimes silly) questions, offer support and overall very professional. Our coordinator was Amanda Garrison. Because I was not your regular bride, I think I may have created some challenges for her. We are much older, have lots of experience with weddings. Our choice was to provide all the decorations with explicit instructions. No problem for Amanda! On wedding day, everything (without exception) was executed exactly as we envisioned plus more. The itinerary was flawlessly kept precisely on time and transitioned smooth as silk. What I did not see while dressing, but my guest told me about is how all the guests instantly felt they were boarding a grand event. The staff set the mood by greeting the guests with trays of wine or beer, ushered them around the boat and made each feel like a VIP. These things are not in the contract, but is just the level of service the starship offers. The food was OUTSTANDING! We had beef tenderloin and jumbo pawns. It is no easy feat to prepare a large number of elegant plates and have each perfect. I mean perfect! The beef was just the right rareness for that cut, the sauces were rich and smooth and complimented the entry beautifully. Everyone was in awe over the quality of the food. And of course the staff made sure all was happy and never wanted for a thing.And I'm a very difficult person to please and In my 55 years, I've planned and hosted many grand events. I can attest that our wedding on the starship exceeded my expectations on every level! Thank you to Wendy Odom and especially Amanda Garrison for seeing to it this day was beyond awesome!

Johanna Sullivan Olivier(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 01-03-2018 I can't say enough nice things about the Yacht Starship and all of the staff. Everytime I thought the staff couldn't be nicer or more helpful I was pleasantly surprised again when they surpassed my expectations! This was not a first wedding for either of us, so we wanted an \"easier\" venue that would not require us to set up, break down, or clean up. The Yacht Starship took care of almost all services inclusively. I provided decorations to the staff at our rehearsal and they did all the set up. The services that are not provided are flowers/decorations, wedding cake, and photography. Gratuities are also included which made everything very easy. My guests (even those skeptical about spending hours on a boat) really enjoyed the venue and had a great time! In addition, I was sick the day of the wedding with a cough, so the staff made me hot tea and a \"hot toddy\" while I was getting ready that really helped! If you want great staff who will knock themselves out to help you this is the group to have your wedding with! My advice is if you aren't sure about the venue take a dinner cruise with the boat you are considering to \"try it out\". We did this and it was really sold us that it was the right venue for our big day. Reviewed on 01-01-2017

Rowan Johnson(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 01-05-2016 From meeting Wendy at the Florida Wedding Expo to our grand exit, the Yacht Sensation staff showed their full support every step of the way. Wendy invited us on a dinner cruise to help with the stressful task of choosing a venue, and my fiancé and I were instantly sold. We were treated like VIPs, even invited upstairs to meet the captain who was happy to share stories and his genuine love of the Sensation. We knew this atmosphere was exactly what we wanted our guests to experience.After our initial commitment, there was a lot of waiting. But once we got in touch with Amanda everything fell into place. Though she works in Tampa, she traveled to Clearwater to meet us on the Sensation simply because I wanted to be inside the ship again when making decisions. She listened carefully, answered all our questions with patience, and we felt comfortable discussing personal questions about traditions and our families. Between then and our rehearsal, Amanda was always available by email and phone and responded promptly and with sincere enthusiasm. It felt like we were the only wedding on her schedule. And when my MoH and I were 45 minutes late to our rehearsal because my dress alterations weren’t finished on time, she wasn’t fazed. She entertained our families while they waited, then ran our rehearsal efficiently, with lots of warmth too.The day of was nothing short of magical. Every detail was just as we’d envisioned. DJ Paul found every piece of music we’d requested. Amanda coordinated with our cake vendor so we didn’t even have to handle that part of our day. Our photographers worked with the schedule Amanda had planned so that everything happened perfectly, with just enough time to enjoy everything. Captain Stephen kept our guests informed as our route altered to avoid choppy water, and he ensured that dolphins accompanied us on our journey. As we took photos upstairs, Amanda remembered that I’d chosen the scallops for my father and saved some for him. At dinner Jody personally served us at our sweetheart table and made us feel like celebrities. There couldn’t possibly be a more romantic evening.Like many others have said, our only complaint is that it was too short. Many of our guests have written to say this was the most unique (and FUN) wedding they had ever attended, that it will live on in their hearts forever. Our top priority was that our guests have a good time because we rarely get to see them (they visited from all over the country and abroad) and we knew we wouldn’t have much time to spend with them, so a fantastic experience of their own was key. The Yacht Sensation went above and beyond the call of duty. I loved that my final memory, just as my bridesmaids stuffed me into our getaway car, is Amanda’s smiling face handing us a bottle of champagne and a gift from the crew, wishing us the best of luck on our new life together. Their card not only celebrated our marriage, but they personalized it by also congratulating me on my recent promotion. They obviously listen to their clients and have profound attention to detail.In short, the Yacht Sensation is the perfect wedding venue for all couples. Your coordinator will be open and honest and as accommodating as possible, your DJ will find all the right music, and your captain will keep to calm but thrilling seas. No extra decoration is needed, though they welcome as much as you’d like. You will feel like the most special couple on earth. Reviewed on 02-06-2016

Nakia Stovall(bride)2 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 01-01-2016 Well, Im not sure whete to start. Initially, I had a wonderful experience this waa with Wendy and Eric. Once payment in full was made the entire process was completely different. \rI was switched around to another person named Amanda that was absolutely horrible because Eric was promoted. I had to hunt people down and things got so bad I ended up speaking with the owner Jill eho at first tried to justify nut eventually understood my feelings and of course felt like things would change. For the most part they did somce I was given Eric back as my Coordinator. He an I had issues here and there but I felt towards the end things came together. \rFast forward to my wedding night. My wedding was to start at 5pm.. Of which I was there waiting on a car because set up wasn't complete. It didn't until well over an hour later because of a late vendor. The issue my husband an I have with the Yacht is that noone contacted me to let me know the issue. My guest stood outside the yacht for an hour as I was stuffed in a car in my dress waiting for the all clear. I missed pictures that could've been taken and was rushed only to sit and wait. \rAll of this delay caused my food to be absolutely terrible because the folet of beef had a hollandaise sauce that was curdled it had sat so long and was just microwaved and brought out once it was time to eat. I ranted and raved about this food to all of my guest and was completely embarrassed when it was served. Just gross! I was told that it was because the yacht was late leaving.\rNot to mention in order for us to get all of our time we had to pay an additional $600.00. to the yacht to continue. I will say that the rental company Coast to Coast was over 3 hours late and Eric and my other vendors were trying to get stuff put together at the last minute but to charge me and this was of no fault of my own and I was not even morified as to the issue was just wrong. \rWe can't get this day back nor can we fix the emotional stress caused by this entire ordeal. At least I am married to the love of my life but for all of this to occur and nothing done to compensate for any of it, is just not right and all future brides should think twice if you want to enjoy your process.

We picked this venue partially because the food and Dj were included and because it was a unique location. We had an evening wedding and the sunset was amazing. Eric was great to deal with during the process and he always returned my emails promptly. TheThere was no Reviewed on 31-07-2015

We had our wedding on the Yacht Sensation on June 27, 2015. It was amazing. Our guests could not stop raving about it. The yacht is gorgeous and provides such a unique backdrop for a wedding, our photographers were so excited. Captain Logan did a great job with our vows. The food was excellent, the wait staff and bartenders were all so friendly and helpful, and Kayla made sure we were never in need of anything. I LOVED the easy planning with Eric our coordinator and having him there during the event put my mind at ease. DJ Dan was awesome... we didn't want the night to end. Everyone had a fabulous time and it was truly a first class event! Reviewed on 21-07-2015
Anonymous (parent)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 13-09-2016 This was truly a fabulous experience. Wendy and Brooklyn did an outstanding job. We put the wedding together in about 7 days and everything went very smoothly. We had a small wedding party(22) and the venue was terrific. I used 2 of the preferred vendors for the cake (Corey's Bakery)and flowers (Brides N Blooms)and they too were fantastic. The total cost included the yacht, sit down dinner, open bar, flowers and cake. The staff on the yacht were extremely attentive and I would highly recommend for a beautiful wedding experience.
