Unforgettable Experience - Highly recommend!!! We rented the yacht for our intimate wedding ceremony and my husband and I are very happy how it all exceeded our expectations. Fabio, the yacht owner, was very accommodating, responsive and professional. The yacht was also beautifully maintained. It was such a smooth sailing experience as we were taken to breathtaking views. The captain was also skilled and made us feel safe. A true 5 star experience!!!
