   56' SeaRay Yacht in New York!

   We had an incredible experience aboard Encore with Captain Max! I booked the boat for my engagement, and when rain threatened our original date, Max was extremely understanding and worked with me to move the reservation so the moment could still be everything I had planned. He was communicative, flexible, and genuinely invested in helping make the occasion special. The boat was beautiful, clean, comfortable, and exactly as advertised. Once we were aboard, Max made us feel completely at ease and gave us the perfect experience on the water. This was one of the most important and memorable days of our lives, and Max played a huge role in making it happen. I truly appreciate how accommodating he was throughout the entire process. I couldn’t recommend Captain Max and Encore more highly!

   With Ian, our special 250th July 4th celebration became even more unforgettable. From the marina, we enjoyed spectacular views of the fireworks. What made the evening truly exceptional was Ian's personalized dock tour—something only possible because of his close relationship with the marina. It gave us experiences we never expected, including seeing the historic tall ships, watching the special boats on the river, and getting a close look at the Macy's fireworks barges as they prepared for the show. Ian went out of his way to make sure our family had a remarkable experience. Seeing my granddaughter dancing on the deck of his romantic sailboat to the music Ian thoughtfully selected, with the fireworks lighting up the sky in front of her, is a memory we will cherish forever. Thank you, Ian, for making our Independence Day celebration so magical. We will definitely be back on your sailboat for another special occasion soon!

Ian guided us through everything we would like to know about and gave many of his experienced recommendations. We had an incredible time out at sea, and are looking forward to booking our next voyage!
