Verified I had a great experience using them to celebrate my birthday in October 2021!
Research: I wanted to support a black-owned boating company for my birthday outing and narrowed it down between Yachtsy and another group. I chose Yachtsy because of the price point and you can book a captain with your boat. I wanted my friends and I to be able to sit back, drink, and relax during our voyage.
Booking: Booking was super simple online. I selected the date, time, and online you have an option to select a captain. You don't get to choose who and be aware there's an additional price plus gratuity that won't be added to your online shopping cart. However, the price was minimal for the pleasure of having fun and not worrying about crashing someone else's boat!
Before you sail: make sure you fill out all of the online forms. I had to do about 3, but it took only a few minutes and ensured everything was smooth for our departure.
The boat: small, intimate, smooth, and fun. It is snug so if you have 6 adults that's about the max who can fit comfortably. We didn't have a lot with us, thank goodness, but keep that in mind if you have people + food + stuff for your trip. There was a Bluetooth speaker so my friend connected her phone and DJ'd the trip. Our captain was a young guy who was SO MUCH Fun and very chill. He helped to make our trip a success!
