The Experience<\/strong>
\nBoth yachts are captained vessels, so you can sit back and relax while a licensed professional handles the cruising. Want to make the day even more memorable? Guests are welcome to bring their own food, but we also offer the option of adding a private chef for a fully curated dining experience (just be sure to book three days ahead<\/em>).<\/p>\n

Before You Cruise
\n<\/strong>Arrive 30 minutes early for check-in.
\nBe sure the cardholder has signed the waiver and brings the booking card and ID.
\nPick-up and drop-off are at Monroe Harbor, though other locations are available for an additional fee.<\/p>\n
