Yachtcation provided us with a great experience during 20th high school reunion. Some issue arised with our boat which was sorted out efficiently. Will do business with them again.

Rented their boat “Brie” for our elopement and it was perfect! The boat was beautiful and the crew was so fun and friendly! A perfect day, thank you Yatchcations!

We had an absolutely amazing experience with Yachtcations! From the moment we stepped on board, the staff made us feel welcome and cared for. They were not only incredibly friendly but also very knowledgeable about the ocean waters and the catamaran itself, which gave us confidence that we were in the best hands. The boat was spectacular — spacious, comfortable, and perfect for our group of 12, which included four kids and even a baby. There was plenty of room for everyone to relax and enjoy the ride. Out on Galveston Bay, we were treated to incredible sights — pelicans, fish, seagulls, and all the natural beauty the bay has to offer. Captain Tom and his first mate, Kathleen, were outstanding. Their warmth and professionalism made the trip even more special. It truly was a perfect day on the water, and I honestly cannot wait to book with them again. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a memorable and fun experience on the water!

We had an absolutely incredible evening. All communication was detailed and timely. Captain Tom and TJ were both knowledgeable and engaging. This was a family group/multiple generations and we were celebrating two (2) birthdays. What a wonderful experience. Music, snacks, fun, and precious family time watching fireworks and visiting. Thank y’all so much. Highly recommend and are already planning for July of ‘26!

This was a fabulous experience! I bought me and my husband a private sailing lesson on the catamaran and a night on the boat. It had to be postponed a couple times due to the weather, but that was an easy process. The boat sailed like a dream. The captain, Chris Block, was calm, knowledgeable, and a good instructor. I'm still in awe over how different it feels to sail on a catamaran vs a monohull. I have had many ankle surgeries, so it makes a huge difference for me. This was also our first time using autopilot on a sailboat, and I must say, I'm a fan! We felt confident that we wanted a catamaran, and now we are certain. The boat was clean and comfortable, and the AC was ice cold! The marina was nice and felt very safe behind the electronic locked gates. It was also within walking distance to a variety of amazing restaurants, a fabulous coffee house, and the boardwalk. Everywhere we went, everyone knew, trusted, and truly liked our captain, Chris. Everyone. It was remarkable. We just mentioned we were there for a sailing lesson with him, and suddenly we were welcomed like long lost friends and treated to stories of how helpful he was, how great he was to work with. He sold everyone their boat and taught most of them to sail. And not one negative comment. I definitely recommend Yachtcations and Chris Block.
