Tanner Family Brunch

“We just wanted to say thank you for helping us with this event! It was such a great time. Everything went smoothly with check in, the service was phenomenal and people are still talking about those cookies as they disembarked the boat! We really appreciated how you were able to accommodate us on short notice and having the whole pilot room to ourselves was such a treat!”

“We all had such a great time. The staff was amazing, so sweet and kind. The dj was the kids favorite.  He also cared about them and it showed.
Hiring people that are a good fit is hard but you guys have it down.
Your people are incredibly caring. We hope to see you soon.”

HCC

“We had the best time, and my students kept saying how amazing the food… It was a beautiful evening, and we’d love to replicate this next year. The private seating was nice, but we truly enjoyed and were comfortable out in the public dining area. That was a great and affordable recommendation. We’re so thankful for you all at Starship and we can’t wait to see you next year!”

Saddlebrook Prep Prom

“Our students absolutely loved their prom on the Yacht starship. From start to finish our kids were taken care of and delighted with their experience. They have all said the food was delicious and they loved the surprise appetizers as we headed out from the dock before dinner was served. I think their favorite part though was the DJ. He was so kind and wonderful to our students who did not leave him alone from the second they got on the boat. Your staff was amazing and we could not have asked for a better experience. “
