Tampa Bay Yacht Charter

Captain Ben was a pleasure to work with. He made planning the outing for 20 ppl to celebrate a 50th Birthday celebration very easy and all my crazy questions. I was kind of worried we'd be going fast and bumpy and cold but it was such a delightful easy ride. The weather was perfect and sunset beautiful. We all felt safe, which was important to me, since I can't swim. We even saw dolphins playing!! We got to bring in all our food and drinks and play music thru the bluetooth speaker on the boat. Such fun! Highly recommend !

I chartered "Smooth C's" for our 20 year anniversary vow renewal. First time me, and I had no idea what to expect. The boat was beautiful! The crew (Patty and Ben) exceeded any expectation I had. They were both personable and knowledgeable. Patty went above and beyond! My sister catered the celebration and Patty was there helping her every step of the way. My mother and mother-in-law are in their 80's and the crew were both very helpful getting them on and off the boat (and up and down the stairs). I had booked this about a year out, so I was able to make payments at my leisure as long as it was paid off in time, what a convenience! If I ever find myself needing (or wanting!) to charter a yacht again, I absolutely will not hesitate to use Tampa Bay Yacht Charters!

We loved cruising with Tampa Bay Yacht Charters! We had our wedding with them, and it was an amazing experience! From the time we toured the boat, we knew it was the perfect fit for us. The day before the wedding I arrived at a hotel that I wanted to get ready in the morning of and take pre-wedding photos in. Unfortunately, the hotel room was not up to par, and I ended up not staying there. I was panicking because now I didn’t have a place to get ready. I called Patty the afternoon before the wedding asking if I could come on board an hour earlier to get dressed. They were able to accommodate my request immediately! The day of, Patty was quick to help carry everything we needed on board, laid out all the food and decorations, helped organize everyone and even handed me my engagement ring after the ceremony. She was running back and forth making sure everything ran smoothly. She was not required to do any of this, and we did not expect her to do any of this, but we were so grateful considering how overwhelmed we were that day. Captain Ben was equally as amazing. We hired him as our officiant, and I am so glad we did. His delivery was perfect, and we both felt that he did an amazing job. There was also a ton of dolphins out that day and Captain Ben took extra time around them. My husband and I were extremely overwhelmed and nervous that day, but Captain Ben and Patty went above and beyond with every detail, which helped us relax and enjoy the ride! We highly recommend them if you are considering a small wedding. I know we will be back!

The best Birthday Yacht Party Ever!!!!!! Captain Ben and Cathy were stellar and my whole family of 20 loved them!!!! It rained at the beginning and they were so professional and patient. As soon as it stopped, we headed out Cathy had all our food unpacked and ready to eat. All I can say is... Use them!!!!

We celebrated my husband’s 50th birthday on Smooth C’s yacht. It was a phenomenal experience and we all had a fabulous time! Captain Ben and Patty were so gracious and accommodating, they made us feel at home right from the start! We were met with a custom birthday sign for my husband which was a nice touch and made him feel special. There were 10 of us in the party and there was plenty of room in different areas of the boat! The yacht was beautiful and so relaxing and we even saw several dolphins and a beautiful sunset!! I highly recommend this company for any event and we can’t wait to plan our next outing on the yacht!!
