We rented the yacht for our friend’s 30th birthday bash and had an amazing time! Everyone associated with the boat, along with our captain, was so helpful and nice. We could not have asked for a better experience! Make sure to bring some ice for the cooler along with you. And know that there is an opportunity to get into the lake and swim if you’d like!

Chartering through Michael and his team was the best decision we made in planning this boat ride. From the customer service and communication response time in booking to the captain’s knowledge and ensuring our safety, everything was amazing. This was a first for many of us but the boat had everything we needed, was perfect in size and Michael and Captain G made sure we were informed, prepared, and enjoyed ourselves! Thank you Michael and team again for an amazing time!! We’re already planning our next booking with you!

I booked this yacht for my birthday, and it was nothing short of amazing! Their hospitality is top-notch. Look no further!! The yacht comfortably fit my group of 9 (could take more as permitted)— very spacious! I loved every bit of my experience on Meridian. Will book again.

We had a wonderful time. The crew were very welcoming. The yacht was clean and as listed. It was a very beautiful and spacious yacht. It was our first time and our captain made sure we were taken care of. If you’re thinking about booking with Meridian, do it. You won’t be disappointed. Our 3 hours flew by. Don’t be like me, book that extra hour!

Michael was wonderful! The boat was SUPER nice and had all the needed accommodations for a great day on the lake. The recommended captain was professional, friendly, and nice! Would definitely book again!
