    I rented a yacht for a group of friends for my husbands birthday. The experience with Mari was…read morefantastic from start to finish. She is always available and very responsive which is huge for me when I am planning anything. She reached out to me a week before our yacht day and there were some concerns she had with the yacht I originally booked and she called me with a solution already which was such relief for me. Many times when there are issues, people don't always have a solution right away, but she did and the yacht was awesome. We had a yacht with a jet ski and my husband had the best time. Captain Joe was so much fun. I will definitely be doing this again and will use Starlux in the future.

I would recommend calling (vs. text) for faster response times. Mari was able to help our group of 30+ book a very luxurious yacht for a reasonable price. We also opted in for an open bar and passed hors d'oeuvres. To be honest, the food was better than anyone expected and no one was left hungry! The yacht also had Bluetooth connectivity for music but our group was able to bring our own music equipment to play on the deck. We also let the captain know before we set sail that we would like to jump in the water and he was able to dock mid-way to give everyone the opportunity to swim. The crew in general delivered exceptional service and helped create an atmosphere of luxury and relaxation throughout our voyage. This yacht charter was definitely the highlight of our group's trip and I highly recommend booking with Mari for an unforgettable and 5 star yachting experience.

From the moment I stepped on board, the woman who decorated the boat made me feel so special -- every detail was thoughtful, beautiful, and perfectly set up. One of the crew members was incredibly attentive, making sure all the snacks, drinks, and little touches were just right. Our captain was amazing, too. Smooth ride, great energy, and he made the whole experience feel safe, fun, and effortless. You could tell he loves what he does. Thank you, Mr. Sea, for making my birthday weekend one I'll never forget. Exceptional service from start to finish.

It sucks he trusted these incompetent non english speaking crooks to plan that moment for me. My husband booked a 4 hour yacht plus decorations for $320 which looked like my dog could have done a better job. They literally went to the dollar store and blew up some balloons. First there was no ac and. The decorations looked like crap the so called yacht was dirty and the captain spoke no english. Even their captain was saying he lost so much money dealing with these people. There was no ac but ac vents in there they put these dirty fans on the bed and told my husband the ac broke that morning. Don't take my word for it but if you ever choose this company make sure you see the yacht before hand. How do you have a person that speaks no English to be a captain and host a cruise. We fully intend to sue them for all the mental anguish and our money amongst other organizations we will look into for this crooked scam.

The best part of the trip was how we had the boat exclusively to ourselves! I didn't know it'd be a private tour until the day I came. So, the boat was just a total of 3 people (captain included). The water temperature was great and the clarity was decent. We even saw two dolphins! You meetup at Whiskey Joe's at the marina and you can start your excursion immediately. I liked that you didn't need to wait around much. I was able to see some cool looking fish, a bottom feeder and a crab. You get 2 hours for the snorkeling and you're not required to wear any life vests (in fact, we weren't offered any and I didn't see any). The water is super shallow so it didn't seem dangerous at all. The water is also salty and easy to float in. The boat was nearby the main snorkeling area. The bad: The area for snorkeling was pretty small. It was an artificial reef where the fish were but outside of that area there is just seagrass and there's no living things to observe. The website says snorkeling starts at $75/pp and up but that's misleading b/c that's only the price if you have 8+ people. When I came to the marina, the worker who had me sign paperwork said that "$25/hour tip is required" when I got an email saying 15% tip is optional. My husband clarified and he said "yes, it's required" but later retracted his statement after I clarified that it was strange to give tip upfront before we even went on the excursion. However, I did already give 15% tip upfront on 50% of the value and then Zelled an additional $25 tip to the captain himself afterward. The cost for snorkeling ended up being $407 for 2 people (pricey). The interesting: The captain swam with us to lead us to the reef and then swam back and was mostly on his phone.

Something about being on a boat, sunbathing, drinking champagne, jet-skiing, and jumping into the water for a swim jumpstarts your vacation mode. Working with Cesar and Party on a Boat was a breeze. The communication quick. He emails you a document with photos of your options and the pricing is straightforward. Everything can be customized so if you want them to have food/drinks/djs/water activities set for you, you just let them know. The pickup location is also really convenient. One of the best things was that it was BYOB so if you feel like bringing your own food, snacks, alcohol and drinks, you totally can! Definitely would recommend working with them for your yacht/jetski rentals.

The captain was eager to help, taking pictures and expertly positioning the boat to capture stunning backdrops. If you forget your snacks and drinks, there's a selection available for purchase. The wrapped sandwiches served during the trip were satisfactory, and the boat was already stocked with ice and water. However, the boat itself was disappointing--dirty and smelly beyond expectations. The bathroom, kitchen sink, and sleeping area desperately needed a thorough cleaning with bleach. Considering the cost of our 3-hour trip, this was quite a letdown. Fortunately, I wore swim shoes, which was wise, as I definitely wouldn't have gone to the front of the boat without them.

This really hindered our experience, given that some of us had plans after 8p that we ultimately lost bc of poor planning and communication. If you want a headache, this is the company for you.

The boat was scheduled for 4PM and no one had informed us of where the boat would be or who the captain was. The address provided on the website is a general address for several boats to pick up people so we had to wait for 1.5 hours! We called multiple times to obtain the information but they kept delaying the information as they did not have it since they had five other charter boats taking off. The staff in the pick up location informed us (and the captain of the boat confirmed) we were double booked! The prior boat group was scheduled to end at 5PM and we were scheduled to start at 4PM. But FEELING YACHTY never communicated this or apoligized for the tardiness. Aside from that the captain was great! But unfortunately, in the beginning of the boat tour the AC was not working on the inside and toward the end of the trip the water for bathroom and sink got shut off. We ended up getting on the boat since FEELING YACHTY does not provide a refnd or rescheuling. THEY ARE NOT FLEXIBLE AND DO NOT COMMUNICATE. You are better off with another company, heed my warning!

We spent about 40 minutes crawling at around 2 mph and only got about 5 minutes of actual speed. The rest of the ride was painfully slow. Because the boat barely moved, there was no wind at all, and we were stuck sitting in the scorching heat. When we complained, the manager didn't even try to help. Instead, she started yelling at us. She first claimed that higher speeds were "illegal" in the area. Then she also told us that the captain was still learning to operate the boat, as if that somehow justified the experience. I honestly don't understand what that has to do with the time and money I paid for. Customers shouldn't be paying full price to be part of someone's training. This felt like false advertising and a complete waste of time and money. If you're expecting a real speedboat ride, avoid this company and book somewhere else.
