I recently went out with Diamond D Yacht Charters while visiting friends and family in Florida, and…read moreit ended up being one of the highlights of the trip. One of our group chartered a yacht for six of us, and we spent about four hours cruising and swimming along the Intracoastal. It's a great format for a small group--guests bring their own food and libations, and the crew takes care of everything else. The charter includes a captain along with a stewardess/deckhand, and they were excellent. Attentive without being intrusive, and clearly experienced. They kept things running smoothly, made sure everyone had what they needed, and handled all the serving so we could fully relax. They also added to the experience by pointing out sights along the way, including some of the more over-the-top waterfront homes and yachts--Jerry Jones' (Dallas Cowboys owner) massive yacht being a standout. The boat itself was fantastic--well-maintained and very comfortable, with plenty of space to spread out. Between the bow and aft seating areas, there was room for everyone to lounge, take in the views, or just enjoy being out on the water. They also provide the ice and mixers, which is a nice touch and makes planning easy. From there, it's just show up with your group and whatever you want to eat and drink. All in all, a seamless and very enjoyable experience. It strikes a great balance between feeling a little indulgent while still being relaxed and easy. I hope we get to do it again on future visits to Florida.

However, when I boarded the boat, the person in charge--despite seeing my reservation for seven people--told us we had to get off because we weren't on the list. The worst part was when she supposedly called the business owner; she wouldn't even let me speak and shouted that I had to get off the boat or she would call the police--acting as if I hadn't paid and was a criminal rather than a customer just like everyone else there. It was horrible. Be very careful with this agency; they oversell beyond their capacity and then mistreat you.

They had some light snacks on board with water and soda. The tour included a nice mix of local history and sightseeing. They pointed out well-known or celeb homes and gave context about Palm Beach County, plus we cruised around Peanut Island. I wouldn't say I remember much about the guides' conversation on the tour, they were nice and friendly but honestly, the day and scenery did most of the talking for me. I tuned into that peace and serenity. It was a beautiful day on the water, calm ride, great views--just an all-around relaxing experience. I love being on the water, so this was right up my alley. Damnit, I should've been born a mermaid!!! If you're looking for something easy and scenic, this is a great way to spend an hour and a half. Definitely worth it, especially at any reduced price.
