We had 24 friends and neighbors for a 65th Birthday celebration on Saturday, December 27th. The Yacht was amazing, the view was spectacular of the harbor, and the 2-man crew were professional and courteous. We have amazing pictures to prove it! I paid for the cash bar and we brought our own food for a cruise from 3-5PM. It was more affordable than I thought and I would highly recommend this for any special occasion! A party bus picked everyone at my house and brought everyone back safely.
We had our grand daughters in from Colorado and took them on the Christmas Cruise. Had a great time, the parade was beautiful. On the Captain knew the places to watch the parade go by. Next year is a must!!!
Paradiso was AMAZING!! Our annual Holiday Party was a hit. Chef Tom feed us like kings. Thank you to the crew and staff for such a great time
We hosted our holiday party with Paradiso Yacht Charters, and it was truly the best holiday event we’ve ever had. From start to finish, the entire experience was exceptional. The crew was amazing—professional, warm, and incredibly accommodating. They anticipated our needs before we even asked, ensured every detail ran smoothly, and made our entire team feel welcomed and well taken care of. The yacht itself was stunning, the atmosphere was perfect, and the service was top-tier. Every member of our group raved about how unforgettable the evening was. We booked the 3 PM to 6 PM charter and we were able to enjoy the sunset as well as the Christmas lights. The boat is itself was decorated perfectly and so festive! If you’re looking for a first-class experience on the water, Paradiso Yacht Charters is unmatched. We can’t recommend them highly enough!
2nd EDIT: I have never come back to a review to lower a score and add comments, but this is ridiculous. The "photo service" who Paradiso has since assured us was contracted BY THEM, said she would contact us "in a couple days" with a quote and sample photos/video. It is now 2 weeks since our wedding, and not only have we not heard from her, her website is down and her social media is 2+ years outdated. I don't know if this woman is related/dating someone at Paradiso, but this whole ordeal smacks of scam. I can no longer recommend this company. EDIT: While the owner has reached out to apologize, and offered to "fix" our photos (we could do this with our digital pics and our film photographer will certainly not surrender his negs to a 3rd party), please take this advice. If you use Paradiso, you have the right to refuse this "value added service". Simply tell them you do not want this person on your cruise. And really, they should disclose this "service" well beforehand, not once the yacht has sailed and everyone's distracted... I don't give overly critical reviews lightly, but we got married on 10/25/25 on Paradiso's flagship yacht and only see now how poorly we were ripped off, by someone that doesn't even work there. We chose this company and vessel because our friend's celebration of life was on the same ship, and they handled it perfectly. The crew themselves were great, and some staff even helped us setup our food station and decorations before sailing. We were even let on board a little early since our yacht seats 30 but we were only a party of 9. If I stopped here, Paradiso would get 5 stars. It wasn't until we got home and started looking at our pictures that we realized what happened. For some reason (money?) they allowed a 3rd-party stowaway on our sailing, and she absolutely RUINED so many of our treasured memories. Of course she will try to sell us HER pics and video at an exorbitant rate I'm sure. Every time someone was taking pictures, she would get in the way and insert herself in front of them so SHE could get video on a crappy little webcam. We were too caught up in the moment to throw her in the brig, but that's what the crew should have done. We didn't realize how bad it was until we collected all our photos, but we paid more than $2,300 (for a 2-hour cruise) and are heartbroken that so many of our memories are gone/tainted. I'll attach a few examples but I'm so angry I can't write anymore. I CAN'T RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY UNTIL THEY STOP ALLOWING THIS SCAM.
