The sunset was beautiful. The night skylines were breathtaking on both the U.S. and Canada sides. The music was excellent. The band was very talented on the lower level and I got my hustle on with a little wobble on the upper deck with the DJ on the 1s & 2s. The staff was very nice from boarding to our departure. The staff was quick to retrieve empty plates and glasses. The Spanish inspired meal was delicious. From the Spanish Paella to the Spanish Flan and everything in between.

I HIGHLY recommend having your wedding with Infinity & Ovation Yacht Charters!…read more There are far too many favorite memories and experiences to share, but one of the most special was our first dance as husband and wife beneath the Ambassador Bridge. It was truly unforgettable. If you're looking for a beautiful lake view wedding with a stress-free experience, IOYC is the way to go! Their team takes so much of the planning and wedding-day coordination off your shoulders while connecting you with trusted, experienced IOYC vendors for flowers, DJ, photography/videography, cake, linens, and more. On our wedding day, their team made sure everyone in the wedding party was comfortable, prepared, and taken care of before the ceremony began. Everything from the procession to the ceremony ran smoothly, seamlessly, and on time. Most importantly, my husband and I were able to relax, be present, and truly enjoy every moment. Our guests were incredibly well cared for throughout the evening, and even at the end of the night, having their cars valeted and ready for them made leaving effortless and was such a thoughtful final touch. The combination of exceptional service, delicious food and drinks, beautiful atmosphere, and dancing made the entire experience unforgettable. The reduced stress, quality of care, and overall experience made every penny spent absolutely worth it. We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful way to begin our forever!

Belle Isle is a beautiful island located just off of the coast of Detroit and in the Detroit river. We took the time to drive around the island and took in the views of the water and parks and lakes that were inside the island. Once we arrived to the yacht club, the security guards were very friendly and approachable and we gave them our names and parked. All of the staff amazed me. The bartenders were fantastic, and even the servers were able to bring us additional food Even though we probably were not meant to have multiple bread baskets. The sunset over the water and the marina outside was just the icing on the cake to a beautiful venue. I would love to be a member here!
