If you are looking for a one stop shop- this is the cruise to take! Isabella is great and has a great attention to detail and very responsive in her communication. This was a corporate lunch cruise that we took on Charter One Yachts. We had 35 people and the space on the yacht was spacious and you never felt crowded at all. The crew had excellent hospitality service and was really attentive to detail. The food was so fresh and delicious. You will not be disappointed booking a trip on Charter One Yachts.

I recently had a corporate event with customers and got a chance to work with the Charter One Yachts team. I've had the pleasure of working with the front office to crew members onboard the yacht. Pre-event, with the little time I had to put together the event, the COY team promptly responded to my inquiries and checked in with me for the items I owed them. I've had some substitution requests for the menu and they were very accommodating to our needs. During the event, first, we were greeted by the friendly crew, then the evening continued with excellent service. The guests commented how accommodating the crew members are, not just during the dinner service, but throughout the entire experience. I would definitely work with them again!
