What People Are Saying
“The party went really well and everyone had a fantastic time. The captain and bartenders were great, and the caterer was fantastic. Thank you again for your attention to our engagement celebration and I will highly recommend the Charles River Boat company to family and friends!”
“Had daughter’s engagement party here and it was ridiculously great and here’s why: the manager is truly an excellent listener and thinker. She hears what you want and makes sure it happens. She’s listening to hear the details that seem important to you and ensures they happen to make the night a success. The venue was perfect for the 20 person cocktail hour and dinner at one long wonderful table. It was literally PERFECT.”
“We could not have been more pleased with the wedding venue and the services that your staff provided. The cruise was amazing and your staff is amazing. They accommodated our every request and addressed every concern with professionalism, cheerfulness and efficiency. Thanks for making one of the most special days in our families life so memorable.”
“We did our ceremony/cocktail hour on the Valiant and our reception at the Multicultural Arts Center. We saw the Valiant on our first day looking at wedding venues and nothing quite measured up after that. We loved having the first half of the wedding on the Valiant – you get beautiful views of the Boston skyline and the boat itself is the most beautiful boat you can charter in Boston at its size. The idea of the boat itself also felt very unique, special and very reflective of us/our relationship – since we really love the water/boats and wanted a nautical wedding in Boston. Melissa at Charles Riverboat Company helped organize things. She was really great: responsive, easy to work with, very nice. One of our best vendors!”
“My husband and I were married on the Lexington Riverboat; Melissa Otis was at the helm the entire time. She helped with everything from planning the menu, seating, handing tokens out to guests, and more that I’m unaware of. She was patient, timely with responses and the ultimate professional throughout the whole process…..about 1 year. The staff on the boat were equally amazing, as was the food from Jules Catering. We left almost wanting to get a divorce just so we could get remarried again…best experience and day ever!! A million thanks!”
