Just a taste of what our clients have said about their experience with us.

“I met Marti some fifteen years ago as one of her bankers. I have utilized her yachts for educational seminars, networking events, team member awards and for cruising the Bay during special events. Marti knows how to run a ship. Her crew has always exemplified the best in customer service, and her food presentations are amongst the very best! I am so excited that Marti is back in the market. I plan on utilizing her services and hope that you will too. I can personally guarantee you will not be disappointed!”

"I wanted to take this opportunity to commend you and your staff for making my Mother's recent surprise 75th birthday party a tremendous success.  It was a once-in-a-lifetime event that she and all of our guests will forever treasure.  

We would unconditionally recommend your services to anyone seeking an exceptional event encompassing five-star cuisine, impeccable yet unobtrusive wait staff and attention to detail, down to the sauces on the desserts and the centerpieces on the tables.  All of the above could only be made better by the fact that it is all presented on board a luxury yacht.

The elegantly appointed California Spirit cruising effortlessly around the San Francisco Bay was the perfect venue.  The autumn sunset framed by the Golden Gate as the backdrop made for a truly world-class experience, held right in our own "backyard."

Our guests ranged from seasoned travelers who flew in from all over for the weekend festivities to "locals," who have experienced much of what the San Francisco Bay Area has to offer.  The common and recurring feedback we received from my Mother and all of the guests after the party was "Wow!"  

That you and your staff exceeded the expectations of this sophisticated group is a testament to the outstanding event you provided.  We are all eagerly awaiting another big birthday in the family so we can all relive the experience once again.

Bravo and thank you again for a job well done." ~ Jon Lewis

“Our company plans many head-of-state visits and welcomes world dignitaries to the Bay Area. It is my privilege to recommend the services of Yacht Connections International.

Our high-end clientele expect perfection and Marti McMahon and her crew have always exceeded our expectations. I have had the pleasure of planning many events over the years on all of Marti's yachts, ranging from a group of Latin American Ambassadors, Presidents of Universities, The Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia, to the Presidents of many countries.

Every detail was capably and graciously managed. Viewing the sometimes fog-laden Golden Gate Bridge and the marvelous San Francisco skyline from the water provides an unforgettable experience.

I hope you will have the pleasure of entertaining your guests on one of Marti's luxurious yachts and creating memories that will last a life time! ”

“The moment I stepped off the dock and onto the stern of Yacht Lady I was transported. I felt like I was living a dream come true as Marti took me from the gorgeous living room to the captains deck then down to state rooms. I was surprised to see that they’re appointed with furnishings I associate with 5-star hotels. Ever since my first excursion on Yacht Lady, I’ve been busy figuring out how I can gather my friends and colleagues together to spend more time on the waters of the Bay aboard Yacht Lady.”
