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.

Their team was attentive, professional, and went above and beyond to help coordinate every detail. They assisted me in arranging a meaningful military tribute, including having members of the Army present for a flag folding ceremony and the playing of Taps at the end of the day. Every element was handled beautifully - from the roses to the full-service yacht experience. The office staff was equally helpful and responsive throughout the entire process. Everything about this experience was first class, and I would highly recommend Pradiso Charter to anyone looking for exceptional service and care Thank You All Jerry F.

She made sure we had everything we needed and gave great instructions. Sorry we didn't catch her name. The best part of this excursion was that they're dog friendly and of course we opted to get a doggy captain hat! Thankfully my husband is a good driver but it looked simple enough. I also recommend getting an early time slot bc we were almost the only ones in the water. I think I'd be more nervous if the water was crowded like later in the day. We really enjoyed our experience and would definitely come back again!

I was there on my birthday with all of my guests looking for someone to help us. This is when I asked the Newport Beach Sailing Charters if they had anything available. They have the most beautiful clean office, opposed to the dirty bus the first business was ran out of. While we signed all the papers, they offered us free drinks and everyone was INCREDIBLY nice! The captain got there so quickly, we got on the boat almost immediately and went sailing. Craig was also the best captain we've ever had. Me and my guests had the most amazing time. It's definitely one of the best birthdays I've ever had. I will NEVER go anywhere else again!!!

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.

Directions to where the dock is located were clear as well. They recommend buying Dramamine for motion sickness. You should get it even if you don't think you'll get sick. My group and I did a morning charter and were back by the afternoon. I thought that was perfect since it wasn't too hot while we were out in the ocean. Can't wait to book another boat ride.
