Rehearsal Dinner/Welcome Party Venue in 2024
“Our experience was entirely stress-free, and the crew made our day so special. The yacht was PERFECT in every way, and the sunset was breathtaking. It was really fun to dance with the waves and have different floors to separate the wedding space. I want to get married all over again and can’t recommend Watermark enough!”
“We booked the Raven for my daughter’s wedding. Even though the weather didn’t cooperate, the wedding was amazing! The bride and groom along with our guests absolutely loved the venue and had a great time. Our wedding coordinator, Linda, was fabulous to work with. She advised us every step of the way, communicated directly with all of our vendors, accommodated every request, and sailed along with us during the wedding to make sure that everything flowed flawlessly. The rest of the staff including the captain, bartenders, and crew were great as well. I highly recommend Watermark for any special occasion.”
"We recently got married on the Raven and couldn't be happier with our choice. The entire Watermark staff was so easy to work with for planning leading up to the big day and made our wedding so memorable! Everyone on the boat was friendly and attentive to our guests, and the venue was so elegant and perfect! Our guests loved the boat, and everyone said it was the most unique and memorable wedding they've seen. (Even the bouquet toss from the top deck on the dock was a hit!)”

Can we customize the wedding décor and theme on the yacht?
