The yatchs are beautiful. We didn't get the original yatch we requested thanks to the coast guard but Electra Cruises was able to put us on another yatch just as beautiful and accommodate for the issue. One of the best days of my life will never be forgotten. All of our guest loved the wedding and said it was something new that they can tell their kids and family down the road. I will do it again for an anniversary.

So I had my wedding yesterday and I am still on this high that I cant come off of.I have been dealing with this company for about a year I gave them 5 stars because I was happy by the way that things turned out. Here is how everything went:I used my mostly own vendors for things because I felt more comfortable. Cinderella cakes were awesome from beginning to end and they were the first ones to arrive. I am not really a cake person, but overall people were telling me the cake was really good.The food was very good from the little that I ate. The coconut prawns hands down were the winner and the egg rolls were great as well. We had a buffet of fried chicken that were seasoned very well and beef tri-tip with jack daniels bbq sauce. I LOVED the garlic mash and I think I was not the only one. It was a ton a food. Oh and Jason the manager threw in chocolate covered strawberries for free and people really enjoyed that too.People must of thought I spent a fortune on this wedding. I heard words like, classy, elegant and fun from some of my guest. The weather and the views were spectacular, I took some time by myself to go to the top of the boat to take all of the view in. I can say, I will NEVER forget how beautiful the bay was. I heard sea otters, but I could not find where they were.Lastly, my wedding coordinator was really great, Donna, did her best to work with me, she even stopped by on the yacht to see me off. The staff was friendly and my day of coordinator was on point, Maribel or Marissa, I cant remember. She packed everything up for us so we would be ready to get off when it was time.Do be ware that it is mandatory to pay $7/per person for free flowing soda, juices and ice tea, which is somewhat of a waste, because a majority of my guess drank water, also you have to get 2 bartenders at $150 each.I would totally work with this company again!!!!

We had our wedding ceremony and reception on the Athena with Electra Cruises. We have the most helpful staff not only planning the event, during the food tasting, and of course on the day of wedding! All our guest were very pleased with the time on the boat and the food! Everything was perfect and I couldnt asked for anything better!

There's really nothing more I could say than our wedding was perfect, thanks to Lorraine and all the electra cruises staff!!!!!! We lived cross-country, and all their recommended vendors, and "tasting night", made it so easy to plan an event from 3,000 miles away. Any question I had was answered within minutes, with Lorraine being the best coordinator EVER! She made our wedding flawless! On the day of, we were provided with a separate wedding coordinator, Karen, who was also amazing! Her calmness and attention to details made our whole night flawless. Our wedding was aboard the Eternity, and it is definitely worth the extra pennies to upgrade from one of the smaller yachts. Our guests were wowed, and the whole night was perfect thanks to Electra Cruises! Just don't be afraid to use some of your own vendors, too, as some of theirs seem outdated.

Electra Cruises is definitely an awesome venue! It saves so much time and it's definitely budget-friendly. If you love having happy & helpful people to assist in your wedding planning, Electra Cruises will surely be the right choice. My consultant, Allison was absolutely AMAZING!! I love having a quick response via email and she's the quickest! The food provided on the yacht was simply divine! They are there to help you make your wedding planning as unstressful as possible and they have done so for me.

Electra Cruises was absolutely amazing! I worked with Allison my coordinator and she was so helpful and amazing I couldnt have asked for more. If I had a question about anything she would respond in less then an hour. My wedding day coordinator was also amazing. I didn't have to worry about anything. If anything went wrong that day I didn't even know about it. I highly recommend Elecra Cruises they helped me have my fairy tale wedding.

Electra Cruises was such an amazing venue for my wedding! Not only was it such a unique venue but the service was phenominal! From the very beginning the staff at Electra Cruises was super friendly and had exceptional customer service. They truly made me feel like I wouldn't have to worry about anything on the day of my wedding...and I didn't. All the staff in the office was friendly and the staff aboard our yacht was superb and attentive, including Maribel, our wedding day coordinator. She took care of everything and made sure the whole day went smoothly. The food was amazing and we received many compliments on it. The fact that Electra Cruises provided a choice of vendors made things so much easier and more convenient. All the vendors I used, provided through Electra Cruises (Carrie Zeller photographer, DJ Raul, LaVonne's florist, Cinderally cakes, and Captian Charles Peiper) were amazing and provided high quality service! Also, Lorraine, our event coordinator, was a joy to work with. She answered all of my questions in a timely manner and never made me feel as though I was bugging her or asking too many questions. If you want a unique venue with superb service and great value for cost, Electra Cruises is THE place!

The best day of my life! My hubby and I just had our wedding reception this last saturday April 09, 2011 on the Destiny and everything turned out expectacular. Our coordinator was Maureen which was amazing and our host for saturday was Maribel and she was also amazing. The food was so good, their service was perfect, everything was so great. Everyone had an amazing time and loved the whole scenery. Our family and friends had a great time. I would completely recommend electra cruises to anyone. It is so affordable and such a great and different experience. The weather was great and we had the wonderful sunset. Thank you so much Electra Cruises for such a great experience.

Electra Cruises was a godsend! We were on the Eternity and couldn't have asked for a better day. Allison took care of all our details leading up to the day, and Victoria executed the day-of details perfectly. Our guests were "wowed" by the ship, the food, and how smoothly everything transitioned from ceremony to lunch to cake cutting and so on. We loved each and every one of our vendors, and Allison put together the perfect package for us. The only thing we would have changed was the amount of time. The 4 hours flew by! We read this from other reviews, and wish we had booked the extra hour. If you're looking for a 1st-class venue and an inclusive wedding package that won't break your budget, definitely give Electra Cruises a call.

We got married on the Destiny in October 2010 and we highly recommend this place! Before we went to look at the yachts we were really not that interested in being on a boat since my husband and I both get motion sickness. And we were on such a tight budget, we didn’t think a nice place like this was affordable. Wow were we wrong! This was actually the best value for the money and we never even knew that we were moving! Our consultant before the wedding was fantastic, her Name is Maureen. Overall, we had a great time here and think it was perfect! And everyone always thinks that we spent more than we did for how elegant it was!

Here's another great review on Electra. I booked in 4/2009 and I just got married this month 10/2010. Everything went smoothly. I worked with Lorraine and my day cordinator was Adriana. Both ladies were FANTASTIC. Please do not worry about anything going wrong...the cordinator and staff know what they are doing and can handle just about any situation. I cannot express how good Electra is...from the boat..to the captain to the wait staff and everyone in the Elctra office! Thank you for making my day carefree and memorable!

We decided to do something different for our wedding that nobody we know has ever done. That is when we found Electra Cruises on line and decided to check them out. It was the best decision we ever made. We were married on the yacht Electra and it was just fabulous. Our rep, Heather helped us with the planning every step of the way and was very sweet. Our coordinator the day of the wedding, Karen, was just fantastic. She was there at our side all day to make sure we had everything we needed. The food was wonderful. And the day was absolutely perfect. All of our guests raved about the whole wedding from start to finish and said they never had so much fun. I recommend Electra Cruises highly. Thanks, Electra!

We had our wedding aboard the Newport Princess! It was wonderful! They worked with us! The staff was great! They even waited as most our family was coming from the riverside area and they were running late due to freeway problems. The night went with out a problem.
