    There are no words to completely convey how happy and appreciative we are of the service we received from World Yachts. From start to finish they really went out of their way to make our night truly magical. The staff, food, and sites seen from this venue are truly remarkable and we are so grateful for the assistance we received from Amanda Del Valle, wedding coordinator, and the rest of the crew on the Atlantis, that included, Amanda Brown, Luis Combres, Margarita Rodriguez, and Cleiton Fias. We can not emphasize enough...if someone is considering having their special day aboard a yacht, you will never find a more ideal organization to work with than World Yachts.

    My husband and I were planning a destination wedding for Labor Day weekend for guests traveling from three different countries and many parts of the US, including ourselves traveling from Brazil. We did not want to pick a restaurant or hotel banquet room that would could not be differentiated from any other location in the city or in any other city. World Yacht gave our guests access to New York City that even people that have been to the city several times have not experienced. When the boat stopped in front of the Statue of Liberty illuminated, I thought the boat was going to capsize with everyone on the one side appreciating the view and taking photos. World Yacht has a lot more to offer beyond the views. Everyone was impressed with the food and the attentiveness of the service staff. People absolutely raved about the osso bucco. For me the one thing that I could not do without for the wedding was Fiona Yan, the wedding planner provided by World Yacht. The night before our wedding we met another couple from England also having a destination wedding and we compared experiences. The bride complained about spending a lot of money and time making trips to plan the wedding. I had a completely different experience working with Fiona. She was very organized, responsive, and positive. I felt like I was her only client but I know she had a full schedule. At first I tried to arrange the hotel lodging for my guests on my own and the salesperson was not responsive. I told Fiona about my problems and by the end of the day I had the sales manager calling to apologize and Fiona had made a better deal with Ink48, a hotel that all my guests loved. After that she was my one-stop shopping for flowers, music, tuxedos, hair, makeup, and a bus trip. During the weekend my guests commented how relaxed I seemed to be. I was because Fiona helped me to feel prepared and confident about the wedding ... and it was perfect!

    World Yacht’s food, service and execution were fantastic. Months later, our 200+ guests are still talking about it. Though World Yacht does not supply every service required for a complete wedding event, they assisted in locating and securing the other required vendors that greatly exceeded our expectations. This was all made possible by our coordinator Fiona, without who it would have been far less of an enjoyable process. She was always available to help us at anytime and always has a solution to our needs.

    My wife and I had our wedding aboard Destiny @ World Yacht on 8/18/13. Deciding on a venue for our wedding was an extremely difficult choice. That was, of course, until we got to World Yacht. We absolutely fell in love with the Princess yacht, but knew we wouldn't have enough guests. But Destiny was our second choice, which we loved as well. Every venue we toured afterwards was just not good enough, and no one impressed us like Fiona. So, Destiny it was, and we're both so happy that we chose it. Our wedding day was perfect! We had our ceremony on the opened top deck, cocktail hour in the lounge area on the bottom deck and reception in the middle deck. We're especially grateful for Fiona, she's such a sweetheart! She literally babied us from beginning to end answering all of our questions and addressing each concern. She even helped me with breathing exercises right before walking down the aisle to say "I do"! The staff was also very courteous and our guests had an excellent time. The food was also very delicious (Actually, I'm still getting texts about how good the salmon was). Another huge highlight was at how supportive and respectful everyone was with us as a LGBT couple. Everyone was great! We're already planning towards our 10 year anniversary :D!

    We had our wedding on board The Princess at World Yacht, and it could not have been a more perfect wedding! We never doubted this for a second after our first meeting with Fiona from World Yacht. Fiona made her desire to make our wedding a reality from the very beginning. Every other yacht company only cared about showing off their boats and the ideas that past couples had implemented. However, Fiona took the time to get to know us on a personal and professional level and collaborated with us to figure out what we wanted and how to add our own personal touch to World Yacht’s gorgeous boats. The breath and depth of Fiona’s knowledge of wedding planning is beyond comparison. Fiona asked so many questions about details that we had not even considered, although essential to planning a wedding. During our early meetings, we just starred at each other so many times, feeling dumbfounded that we did not think about the level of detail that Fiona was willing to personalize for our day. Yet, in all our communication with her, she made us feel at ease and comfortable and helped us flesh out the details of each part of the wedding to make it exactly what we wanted. Every step of the way, Fiona was always there to lend a helping hand in a very noninvasive way. She recommended an amazing florist and gave us many other recommendations for vendors as well. Throughout the planning process, we kept in constant communications with Fiona, and she always replied promptly and managed to make everything work and run smoothly despite our demanding work schedules. Fiona understands how delicate and important this day is and was not afraid to ask clarifying questions to guarantee that everything goes smoothly and in the manner we planned. Our wedding day was magical. Everything went according to plan. Fiona’s dedication and commitment to her clients is just one of a kind. Our wedding was not special simply because we were married but because Fiona Yan made our dreams come true.

    I recently had my wedding reception on the World Yacht Destiny. I had such a great experience on board. Steve Tanzman in particular is a rockstar coordinator. He's not attached to his blackberry but he'll get back to you within 24 hours and his advice was GREAT.
    You will get a better value here than at most waterfront venues in NJ and the city. Perfect Spring, Summer or early Fall venue as the interior decks have AC and the breeze is just perfect when you're cruising.
    The menu is very open to customization and the waitstaff is great. The food was great, the appetizers as well. If you bring your own cake they will serve a great dessert selection alongside. My guests were raving about that.
    Very very memorable wedding reception venue.

    We had our wedding reception on World Yacht and we could not be happier with the attentiveness of the staff and cruise manager, Yolanda. Our main point of contact and coordinator, Fiona, was a dream to work with. She was professional, warm, and we enjoyed every interaction with her. We had some rain on our wedding day, but the Princess, the vessel we had selected, was perfect for our group. We received many compliments on the food, the staff, and just the overall presentation. We are so grateful to Fiona for helping us bring our wedding vision to life, but also creating an experience that our guests will not soon forget (with many saying it was the best wedding they had ever been to).

    We had our reception on the Cornucopia Destiny and it was amazing. The food was delicious, we received many compliments. The views were also breathtaking. Most importantly, the service was great too which truly made the party. Our wedding planner Steve Tanzman was the absolute best, he made our party. You can't beat the Statue of Liberty & Brookly Bridge for photo ops. This venue beats a wedding hall hands down. Plus having a cocktail hour outdoors was something special. People RAVED about our wedding. Prices were good too, we did better than a wedding hall, which was a bonus.

    First class service, staff were very helpful and accomodating. We got married 14th October 2005 and our guests are STILL talking about our fabulous wedding! Now that's a compliment! (to us and World Yacht!!)

    "We had our wedding at the World Yacht Rendezvous, and it was a truly amazing time. We had out of town guest and locals and they all commented on what a wonderful experience it was. Living in the city, you don't really get to experience the views of the skyline and statue of liberty to this extent. The food far exceeded my expectations, and we honestly believe it’s the best wedding food we ever had. The ride is smooth and never feels like you are out on the water. The Rendezvous made our wedding a truly fine experience and we are so glad we chose them as our venue. I don’t know what we would’ve done without our wedding coordinator, Fiona Yan her dedication, professionalism and her artistic vision. She made sure that the entire evening was perfect. She coordinated everything with our vendors, Butterfly Bake shop made a beautiful weeding cake and DJ indigo provided excellent music. She is a master at what she does and we are eternally grateful. My Husband and I really appreciate all staffs for their hard work and assistance in making our wedding day very special on a beautiful ship. I would definitely recommend to my friends having a party on the same cruise so I could come back to enjoy again! Maria & James"
