Great experience

We booked the Raven for my daughter's wedding. Even though the weather didn't cooperate, the wedding was amazing! The bride and groom along with our guests absolutely loved the venue and had a great time. Our wedding coordinator Linda H. was fabulous to work with. She advised us every step of the way, communicated directly with all of our vendors, accommodated every request and sailed along with us during the wedding to make sure that everything flowed flawlessly. The rest of the staff including the captain, bartenders and crew were great as well. I highly recommend Watermark for any special occasion.

Hurricane Ian Couldn't Stop Our Yacht Wedding

My husband an I began planning our wedding a year ago, with Watermark. We chartered a yacht and planned for a beautiful sunset cruise. Unfortunately, Hurricane Ian arrived in Maryland the weekend of our wedding and we were disappointed to find that all our best laid plans were quite ruined. Worried we would have to cancel our wedding, Watermark came through with several alternatives. They not only offered a new date and yacht, they also coordinated all the vendors shifting to the new date and location for us. They found us a land alternative as well, but we had our hearts set on a yacht, so they made it work! They were fantastic coordinating with us and our vendors and they treated us and our guest so kindly. The yacht was gorgeous and we had a wonderful time even though we were unable to cruise and our wedding was held dockside. We appreciated their hard work and flexibility to ensure we were safe and still had as close to the wedding we planned for as possible.

It was the perfect venue!

I could not have asked for a better wedding aboard the Catherine Marie with the Watermark Crew. From the beginning, Kona was the absolute best with planning, communications, changes, walkthroughs, questions, and more. Our experience was entirely stress free and the crew made our day so special.

The yacht was PERFECT in every way and the sunsets were breathtaking. It was really fun to dance with the waves and have different dock floors to separate the wedding space. I want to get married all over again and can't recommend Watermark enough!
