Beautiful luxury Yacht with 4 floors of party space! Staff is amazing as they run a "tight ship"! Food service is quick with some delicious choices! It was a pleasure to DJ a Wedding Reception with perfect weather, AMAZING!!

Dorit made our dreams come true, she helped us from the first day we contacted her and guided us through the entire process from start to finish. The process was so easy with the help of Dorit, she is excellent with communication whether it's text, email, or calls she answers quickly. The yacht had more to offer than we could have ever imagined. The elegance, the view, the decorations, the food, and her amazing staff are excellent. One of the best surprises was the elevator because no one was able to see me until I walked down the aisle with my father. We ran into a last-minute problem when we couldn't find my flowers girls' basket and pedals and Dorit saved the day because she had exactly what we needed in reach, AMAZING! Everyone loved it and had never experienced a wedding like ours, it was truly one of a kind. We couldn’t have asked for it to be any better, it was PERFECT!

We recently had our wedding ceremony and reception on the Aqua Azul. We had seen a couple of yachts docked in Manhattan, but we knew the Aqua Azul was the best one as soon as we saw it. The yacht is in immaculate shape and very well-maintained. We wanted to have our wedding ceremony near the Little Red Lighthouse under the George Washington Bridge. Dorit and the crew was able to accommodate this request and travel north along the Hudson River. I appreciate Dorit's attention to detail. There is a great selection of hors d'oeuvres to accommodate each person's preferences. The dinner itself was of high quality, and all our guests commented on the quality of the food. The baker Dorit uses (Home Style Desserts in Peekskill) is excellent, and I highly recommend taking a ride (also accessible by Metro North) and tasting the various options. The wine and alcohol Dorit uses is carefully chosen and of good quality (again part of Dorit's attention to detail). We chose vendors (DJ, Florist, and photographer) that she recommended. Setting up on a yacht requires some expertise, and I would suggest using the vendors that Dorit recommends since they have experience with the yacht. Finally, our wedding was planned during the pandemic. We were thankful that vaccines allowed us to celebrate as normal as possible. Either way, we knew we were in good hands with Dorit and her staff. We also cannot say enough about the staff and crew of the Aqua Azul. We had an amazing wedding. Many of our guests commented that this was the best wedding they ever attended. The views of the lighthouse, the bridge, the NYC skyline, and the Statue of Liberty were spectacular. The Aqua Azul is a special venue, and Dorit made our wedding day one that we will always remember and cherish. Thank you!

Celebrated my son’s Bar Mitzvah on the aqua azul yesterday. It was an incredible experience and everyone had a blast, especially my son and his friends which was the best part. The food was delicious - both the kids and the adults foods, from the appetizers to the main courses to the delicious desserts. The staff were lovely, courteous and unobtrusive. And working with Dorit was wonderful - she was easy to work with, very responsive during the planning stages and made sure every detail was perfectly done. Our guests loved the ambiance, the food and the joy of being on the water on a beautiful day. It was a blast - if you’re considering a party, you will love this venue!

Aqua Azul does a great job of engaging with guests and does all they can to make our wedding event "Sangeet" (eat, drink & dance) the best it can be! The staff in the dining room was exceptional. Dorit has a standard of quality and she has experience to know how to manage big gathering on a occasion. WE'LL BE BACK!! WHAT MORE TO SAY?

We couldn't have had a better September 2019 "boat wedding"! My husband and I wanted more of a party rather than traditional wedding and Dorit worked with us seamlessly to create an easy going, perfect day.

The wedding package made all the decision making so simple but we really enjoyed picking out our delicious menu. The food was outstanding. The Aqua Azul is a beautiful, well laid out yacht. Our 170 guests were easily directed between decks for our ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner and dancing. We lucked out with weather and had a warm and sunny late September cruise out of Jersey City. We left Liberty Landing Marina and went up the Hudson near the GWB and ended the cruise with a spectacular Statue of Liberty toast. Even our NYC guests were so impressed by the beautiful skyline and Statue of Liberty cruise and our out of town guests were blown away.

Our evening flew by and our only regret was not booking more time aboard! Dorit and her crew/team were such professionals with obvious experience. We loved the wedding and our guests had a blast. Such a unique and memorable wedding experience! Over a year later I'm smiling remembering the beautiful day. Thank you, Dorit!!

Dorit and her staff were amazing. We chartered the Aqua Azul for a Rehearsal dinner of 152 people. Dorit’s service to detail made our planning process painless. If you are looking for full service delivered with excellence on food and service with amazing backdrop of the City and the Statue of Liberty, then this is your venue your guest will talk about for months! I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dorit/staff and the Aqua Azul!
