I’m overdue for this review but we got married on the Sundancer out of Hoboken, NJ this past December and I can’t express enough how amazing our experience was. We opted for a smaller, mostly family wedding (45 guests total) that we planned in 3 months and Camille, Deisy, and team went above and beyond to make sure the event was planned without a hitch. Camille was so easy to work with throughout the entire booking process and was incredibly responsive. Deisy was our contact for day-of logistics and her team beautifully decorated the space with the items we brought the day before and worked with us to truly customize the event to our liking. We were able to bring our own tablecloths (can’t recommend gold enough to match the boat’s decor!) which really elevated the entire scene. We were able to board a bit early to take pictures with family before the ceremony took place and the guests were overjoyed by the stunning views of Manhattan throughout the reception. The Sundancer is able to be fully enclosed, as well, but we were blessed with higher than average temperatures on December 2nd which made the sight seeing and outdoor photos that much more special! Also if you book a wedding package with them, it will include a custom cake from Palermo’s Bakery (tasting box too! We loved trying their 16 flavors at home over the course of several evenings). We had such a great experience working with this team that we are also hosting our baby shower on another, larger yacht this September! If you’re considering offering your guests a more unique experience, you will not regret hosting on one of these yachts and working...
Read moreIf there is one word that describes Smooth Sailing Celebrations and Camille it's "class". You won't find a nicer person to work with. If you are looking for an exceptional event coordinator for a yacht wedding look no further. Camille is nothing short of amazing. From the moment my husband and I met Camille, she was attentive and sincere. She answered every question we had, often texting back even when she was busy. She paid attention to every detail from the very beginning to the last moments before the wedding day. Camille showed us several yachts and we went with the Aqua Azul Yacht for our August 13, 2022 wedding. We worked with Camille and the owner Dorit who was professional and orchestrated the entire evening perfectly. Camille and Dorit made sure our wedding was everything we had hoped for and more. The venue was amazing and our wedding was fantastic, unique, and most importantly FUN from start to finish. I can't say enough great things. Everyone who attended is still saying it was the best wedding they ever went to! The only complaint I have is that the night went so fast...before we knew it, it was time to go home! Dorit and Camille are experts in their work. The Aqua Azul is beautiful, clean, and classy. The staff is wonderful, and the food and drinks are amazing. So happy!!! Thank you Dorit and Camille! You gave us a night we will never forget. WORTH...
Read moreOverdue for a review but I got married on the Sundancer in September 2022 and I am still so disappointed in my wedding day every time I remember it. My in-laws went to help set up my decorations the morning of my wedding (at the time our contact at Smooth Sailing told them to arrive) and the yacht was still dirty from the previous event. One of the bathrooms was out of service and the other was filthy. An hour before my guests were set to arrive, my mother in law had to tell them to clean the bathroom. Meanwhile, the staff on the boat called me nonstop asking me to confirm details I had already confirmed a month prior! On top of the chaos of setup, the Maitre’d yelled at my parents for being in the “wrong place” when my mom had misplaced her purse and went looking for it. They also treated my photographers and videographers so poorly that I had to step in and tell them to treat them with respect. All in all, I think back on my day with disappointment. My guests had fun though and the views were beautiful; so the day wasn’t a complete waste at least.
Readying myself for a response, no I never reached out to Smooth Sailing after the day to tell them. Mainly because the money was spent and the day was ruined so there’s not much they could do to remedy the situation even...
