"The boat cruise was great, the boat is amazing and the food was awesome! Cannot say enough wonderful things – thanks for everything!!!"
-- Vice President of Conference Services
"I wanted to take this opportunity to tell you that the event last night was such a success! It went beyond my expectations and your crew and DJ were absolutely outstanding. The food was superb and I just want you to know how much I appreciate your assistance in putting this together for me! Thank you so much!"

--Marketing Manager, Conferences & Tradeshows
"Our group had an enjoyable day. The weather was perfect, food was outstanding and the overall experience was quite enjoyable... as it was last time. Everyone had positive comments as well. I am not a salmon lover, by any means, but decided to try it. It was awesome!"
-- Kris K. Hart, Out and About Club, March 17th, 2015
"Leapdoctor.com would like to Thank You for a wonderful evening. From the moment we stepped on the ship until well after walking off – it was Amazing! The entire staff was so accommodating. The food was incredible, the 3rd level was so much fun, and then the dancing – what a party! At the end with the little touches like Santa handing out the ornaments and the staff waiting with cookies and hot beverages – was really impressive! This by far was the best Holiday event for the price point (we could have gone to any expensive restaurant and just had dinner – but with no fun – no thanks! ) Prior to even leaving the ship, we discussed booking again with StarShip. You have an amazing crew and we like to give special Thanks to the following associates for their kindness and generosity:
Table Host - Ryan, Thank you for providing such great service with all of our requests.
Manager – Dan, Thank you for taking our group picture.
Johnny and Chanel - Charcutier’s (meat cutters) at the buffet – Thank you for you hospitality."
-- Janet Fimbel, Leapdoctor.com, December 10th, 2014
"Wow! The Yacht StarShip was the perfect venue for Emergence! I cannot thank you enough. All of our members had a terrific experience and most had never had the opportunity to take a sail before. I hope you all enjoyed the event as well. A Huge thank you to you and your team. Please pass along my sincerest gratitude. From start to finish your team made our guests feel like royalty!
-- Ashley Ehrman, Emergence, May 28th, 2014
"My company EKS had our Christmas Party tonight on your ship. Without a doubt, it was our best party ever. Your staff from Captain Tom on down provided us with outstanding service from start to finish. The food was excellent all around. In fact, the bread pudding was such a hit that some of our folks inquired about the recipe - which was provided by your chef. Janie Ambrose is a superstar. She was on top of everything. By the end of the cruise, everyone knew her name because she interacted with everyone to make sure they were being taken care of. The Casino crew (Karl, Rachel and Jazz) you contracted were also great. They explained the ins and outs of the games and kept everyone interested and excited." --EKS, Holiday Party Cruise, December 21st, 2013
