The Paradiso team, especially Kathi and Chacha, did an amazing job helping us plan and coordinate our event. Everything went exactly as described, with no unexpected surprises, which made the entire planning process smooth and stress-free. The catering was fantastic as well. Chef Tom made it very easy to coordinate the menu, and having Chef Teddy with us during the event gave everyone added confidence that everything and everyone would be satisfied. The food and service were both excellent. On the day of the event, Captain Noah and Captain Joe did a tremendous job ensuring that we stayed on schedule while keeping everyone safe and comfortable throughout the entire trip. Their professionalism and attention to detail really made a difference. Overall, we couldn't have asked for a better experience. The entire Paradiso team went above and beyond to make our event enjoyable, seamless, and memorable. We would highly recommend Paradiso Yacht Charters to anyone looking to plan a special event on the water! A special thank you to Captain Noah for making the ceremony especially meaningful. He took the time to get to know the departed and incorporated thoughtful personal touches that made the experience even more heartfelt and memorable. His compassion, attention to detail, and genuine care truly helped make the ceremony a beautiful tribute. Sincerely, Norman P. Goco

After doing extensive research found the Paradiso Yacht for my 50th birthday. The service with…read moreTanya was easy and professional. It did take a bit to get the premium bar menu to review - and I really wanted good champagne on the yacht to be served all night long, but they only had prosecco and we weren't able to work together to order nice bottles ahead of time. There was a 2 bottle maximum that was allowed to be brought on board with a $35 corkage - but they allowed me a few more bottles on board which was nice. But would have been nice to know ahead of time vs the day before. I wouldn't say anyone went above and beyond - but service was professional, courteous. Drinks for the premium bar were definitely on par with CA prices. They provided a list of caterers and for my milestone where I wanted French food - recommended Tom's Catering. He has been doing food on board for 20+ years and the food was PHENOMENAL. Guests devoured the food and everything was absolutely delicious. Boat has 3 levels and was able to fit the party nicely. The main floor had the bar and upstairs is where we played games. all in all - everyone had a lovely time, nobody got sea sick.

He made everyone feel comfortable right away, answered all of our questions, and knew the harbor inside and out. You can tell he cares more about everyone having a great experience than just getting through another charter. He pointed out cool spots around Newport, had some great stories, and never made anything feel rushed. It was just a really relaxing afternoon on the water. If you're booking with Newport Beach Baywatch Boat Charters, definitely ask for Captain Jonny. He's professional, easy to talk to, and made the whole experience feel effortless. We'd book with him again without even thinking twice. Highly recommend.

The team definitely made up for the initial mistake, and I walked away more impressed than I would've been if everything had gone perfectly. If you're thinking about booking with them -- do it.

We went on the ICON yacht through Charter Yachts of Newport Beach and it was a really "iconic"…read moreyacht (haha). We went right around sunset last week for an event and really enjoyed the views. We set sail right around 7pm and it was smooth sailing. I didn't even notice that we left the dock until I looked outside. There is an upstairs and a downstairs to the yacht. The downstairs was basically a lounging area with a few couches/sofas, a piano, and a small bar area. I could see some events may hold a dance floor in this area. However, for our event, the main dining area was upstairs on the 2nd floor. The stairs are a little narrow and steep so it is advised to use the hand rails especially in heels! The 2nd floor also had a bar and was where we had the food and main event. The food was buffet style with salad, bread, and protein. The dessert that was served to us were chocolate covered strawberries. Drink tickets were provided during our event for alcoholic beverages. Non-alcoholic beverages did not need a ticket. I definitely enjoyed the few glasses of Shirley Temples that I had. Service was quick and timely. Even though there were many attendees, service was really good. They were very friendly and initiated conversation with the guests.
