    Yacht StarShip was AMAZING!

    We were blown away by how exceptional our experience was with Yacht StarShip - the service, the food, and the views were truly unbeatable. The staff was so accommodating and did everything they could to make us feel cared for so we could enjoy the day. Special shout outs to Wendy and Joey to helping our day go so smoothly. Our guests absolutely loved the experience. We cannot recommend this venue enough!

    Views of Tampa

    Yacht StarShip Cruises & Events provided an incredible wedding experience for us. Their communication was top-tier, and I was able to get any questions answered right away. They have a wonderful space with epic views of Tampa, and the value of getting wonderful food was worthwhile seeing the great views. Their organization and attention to detail allowed me to relax and truly enjoy my wedding. The Yacht StarShip team contributed so much to making our special day perfect.

    Best day of our lives!!

    From the moment we connected with Wendy we knew we had chosen the right venue. We are from Saint Louis, so trying to find venues 1000 miles away was stressful! This was the first place we flew down to see and it was instant (we legit didn’t look anywhere else!) Amelia, our wedding coordinator was soooooooooo patient and kind answering all our questions! We actually had our wedding dress and suit lost, (8 days before the wedding!) and she saw my post on social media and called just to make sure I was okay! She didn’t have to do that, but she did (believe it or not we didn’t find the dress, but we located exact matches in Tampa when we landed!) Every detail was carefully crafted to ensure our day was magical! The entire team worked so hard to make sure even the smallest things were taken care of. We made some really good friends with the staff, and we cannot wait to come back for our anniversary! Thank you SO much for everything you have done for us! You truly made us feel loved and special! Also, can we talk about the food! Multiple guests told us it was the BEST wedding door they had ever had! If you’re thinking about this venue, please just give them a call! I’ve never been so fortunate to work with such amazing human beings! Thank you again for being a part of the best day of our lives!
