We guarantee (2) hours of set up time.  Depending on the amount of set up and depending on the yacht’s schedule we will always try our best to work with you.  If you have a lot of set up and we can accommodate it is very probable that you will be allowed to begin set up earlier.

Yes you may bring your own vendors but please note the following…

  1. In some cases (depending on the vendor) an outside vendor fee may apply.
  2. All vendors must be insured and provide proof of insurance at least 14 business days before the event.
  3. If the vendor needs to load in heavy equipment (furniture, coffee cart, etc.) the vendor must come to the yacht ahead of the event date in order to take measurements and ensure that all intended items can make it aboard the yacht on the day of the event.
  4. All vendors must be accounted for on the final invoice.
  5. Vendors are fully responsible for load in, load out, and finding their own parking.  They are also responsible for any associated parking fees.

The final guest count must be turned in (5) business days before the final payment date.  After the final guest count is turned in you are no longer able to reduce the count.  You can always increase the count but in order to ensure a smooth and successful event advanced warning of additional guests is always preferable.

Yes, regardless of what floor of the yacht the entertainment is placed on they are able to plug into our Bose Audio sound system and be heard on the other levels.  Please note that the Bose Audio sound system is not intended to replace DJ or Entertainer speakers and will not have the same level of volume as those speakers.
