Reviews
The food amazed us more each day. Some family favorites were: the apple (gasp) brownie and ice cream, cream gnocchi, hen lunch, and pizza/movie night! ♡♡
Our trip was the perfect blend of adventure and relaxation. From the moment we stepped onboard, the crew made their hard work, attention to details, and level of service feel effortless.
They knew, met, and exceeded our wants and needs, before we did. 🙂
The views, from sunrise to sunset, were breathtaking; it felt like we had front row seats to a beautiful show with our favorite people!!
Karaoke, swimming with dolphins, nd jumping off the boat were core memories we will never forget.
A heartfelt thank you for an unforgettable week with a one-of-a-kind crew on the beautiful boat; it truly felt like home on the water. ♡♡♡
Thank you Steve, Mikaela, German, Carlos, Simon, Tray, Keaton, Lou, Macy, Emily and Russell!!
Thank you Steve for keeping us safe (even when we tried to be otherwise); German, Carlos, Simon and Tray for making the boat and our excursions the best; Mikaela for seeing to every single details; Macy & Emily for keeping everything perfect all of the time; Lou and Keaton for the tons of nighttime fun; and Russell for fattening us up with the most incredible food!
Happy 2026 to All of You! ♡ You all were wonderful, thank you so much, safe travels back to Fl.
please excuse the delay in getting this message to you about our latest charter on Starship185.
As you know this was our sixth time chartering with you and our first charter on the new Starship185. I must say that everyone was equally overwhelmed with joy and amazement at the new yacht. Captain Steve has put together an incredible crew that was completely in-tune with our group. The Service, friendliness and attention to detail in all aspects of the trip were impressive. The chef Lucie is no doubt one of the best chefs I have had the chance to cross paths with which was also echoed by one of our guests who is a renowned chef in the Montreal area. In all honesty, if I was on the Michelin star selection committee, I would give her and the whole experience a star. We are foodies at heart and our 12 days on Starship were like eating 3 meals a day at a Michelin starred restaurant. We were not served meals, we were served culinary greatness. Everyone looking forward to the day's culinary adventure.
Having Dave Ochs on board as our dive guide made our scuba diving world class. I put in 19 dives on this trip! With Starship having a great compressor setup on board along with the deck crew our scuba outings were seamless and always excellent. We even discovered a new wreck that we spent time exploring over a series of dives. Captain Steve even managed to anchor Starship right on top of the Nasau blue hole where the Turtles and silky sharks were there for us.
The yacht is fabulous, accommodations perfect and the stewards under the expert tutelage of Bea fantastic. Her attention to detail and organisation skills were notable and appreciated and we had a lot of fun.
On behalf of all the guests, xxx and myself, please convey our most grateful appreciation to everyone.
The crew of Starship went above and beyond for every experience. The food, the activities, the tablescapes. Anything that they could make special, they did.
We are sad to leave this amazing crew and beautiful boat, but hope to be back soon.
