With a heartfelt appreciation for the significance of your day, we offer a simple yet meaningful way to exchange vows in the serene beauty of Key West's waters.

    As the sun begins to set, casting a golden glow over the horizon, your ceremony will take place on the bow of our vessel, framed by the natural splendor of the ocean. Whether you're planning a quiet elopement, a small micro wedding with your closest friends and family, or a vow renewal to celebrate another year together, this setting creates the perfect backdrop for your love story.

    After the ceremony, we'll embark on a tranquil cruise past Key West's iconic landmarks, adding a touch of adventure to your day. Our crew is dedicated to ensuring every detail reflects the special connection you share, creating a stress-free experience that lets you focus on what matters most—each other.

    Elopements, Micro Weddings & Vow Renewals

    However you say "I do", the boat is private to your party for the full two hours. These are the celebrations couples book most.

    Elopements

    Just the two of you, or the two of you and a photographer. A Key West elopement on the water is a private charter with a captain officiant and a sunset ceremony — no reception hall, no seating chart, no headcount to manage.

    Micro Weddings

    A micro wedding keeps the full ceremony and trims the guest list. Bring your closest friends and family — up to 25 people — and the vessel is yours for a two-hour sunset cruise past Key West's landmarks.

    Vow Renewals

    Marking an anniversary, or marrying again after a first marriage? Renew your vows on the bow as the sun goes down, with the same private charter and scenic cruise as a wedding ceremony.

    Destination Weddings

    Couples planning a destination wedding in Key West often bring their people in for the week and pair the ceremony with a fishing trip or their own private charter. Tell us your date and we'll hold the boat.

    We handle the vows and the cruise. For the pictures, ask about Abigail Salazar Photography.

    Catering & Flowers

    Two Key West businesses we trust for the rest of the day — the food and the flowers.

    The Concierge Girl

    609 Margaret Street, Key West, Florida 33040

    Kelly runs a Key West concierge service that takes the planning off your plate: event and party planning, personal shopping and provisioning, picnics, decorating before you arrive, and balloon garlands or event decor. Tell her what you and your guests want to eat and drink, and she builds it around your charter.

    Planning, food and decor are arranged and paid directly with Kelly.

    Kutchey's Flowers in Key West

    A White Street florist with fresh bouquets and designer arrangements, delivering around Key West. Ask about ceremony flowers, bouquets and table arrangements for your sailing, and give them your date and start time.

    Flowers are ordered and paid directly with Kutchey's — 1223 White St, Key West.

    Wedding Questions

    Elopements, micro weddings, vow renewals and the paperwork — the things couples ask us most.

    An elopement is a small, no-fuss wedding — usually just the couple, sometimes with a photographer or a witness along. Aboard the Gulfstream IV it's a private two-hour charter: a captain officiant, a ceremony on the bow at sunset, then a cruise past Key West landmarks. No reception hall, no seating chart.→ Read our Key West elopement guide

    A micro wedding is a full ceremony with a short guest list — everyone at the vows is someone you actually want there. Our private ceremony takes up to 25 guests, so a micro wedding fits comfortably with room for a small wedding party, and the boat stays private to your group for the whole two hours.

    Yes. Vow renewals are popular for anniversaries and second marriages — couples marking a milestone year, or marrying again after a first marriage. The vessel is private to your party, the captain officiates, and the sunset does the rest.

    Many couples plan a destination wedding in Key West and bring their people in for the week. Guests who aren't sailing can book the shared 10 AM trip or their own private charter, and gift certificates work well for the ones who want to choose later.→ See private charter options

    The $700 private ceremony is priced for up to 25 guests. If your list runs longer than that, text or call us before you book and we'll talk through what the boat can carry.

    Yes — what you need is a Florida marriage license. Get it from any county clerk; couples marrying in Key West usually pick theirs up at the Monroe County Clerk's office at 530 Whitehead Street (305-292-3458). The license is valid for 60 days, and there's a three-day waiting period unless you've completed a premarital preparation course, which the clerk can waive for out-of-state couples. Bring the license to your sailing and the ceremony our captain officiates is legally binding.→ Monroe County Clerk — marriage license
