“I have made reservations for our Business Christmas event every year with Bailey, Sales Manager and the staff of Yacht Starship since 2017. All plans and requests have been received openly and communication was timely throughout the planning phases. The events were always great and even personal preferences were handled professionally. Everyone involved in the event from the reservation through the actual event on the ship were a perfect match for our group. Many of the return staff recognize us and greet us with enthusiasm We have already reserved our room for this year. Food, Entertainment, Fun, and Great Service…Always our choice for ‘Our Main Event.'”

“The event was amazing! The entire event staff was top notch on every level. I cannot remember the captain’s name; however, he was great! Michael and his staff were wonderful. The team had such a great time, and I cannot thank you enough. I am encouraging my team to look into meetings in the Tampa area and have you as their offsite dinner.”
