Incredible service! My wife and I had our wedding reception here and this business is proof that customer service isn't dead. They were very accommodating to all of our requests and exceeded expectations. From setting up our decorations exactly how we wanted, to minute to minute service during the reception, and creating a welcoming environment that helped us take a breath and enjoy our time. Christine was our event manager and she went above and beyond! She even gave us a wedding gift and offered a free dinner for our one year anniversary! Very personalized experience! My only regret is not having my ceremony here as well!

Joel, we're beyond thrilled to hear that your wedding reception was everything you hoped for and more. Christine and our team take pride in making every celebration as personal and seamless as possible, and it’s heartwarming to know their efforts helped you relax and enjoy your special day. Your kind words mean the world to us—and we’ll be ready to welcome you back for that one-year anniversary dinner. May you & your wife's love be as endless as the sea! The Yacht StarShip Crew

Food was very good. Service top notch. Nice ship. Air conditioned interior. Sunday brunch is a steal. Great way to spend a relaxing time on the bay.

We celebrated our friend's 50th birthday on this ship tonight and had a very good time. Seating: it was a bit tight fitting 50 to 60 guests and you have to be mindful you are not hitting the person behind you. Food: I would give it 2/5 stars. The fish was horrible. The herbed baby potatoes were delicious, as were the veggies and caesar salad. They ran out of the cordon bleu chicken quickly and they were quick to bring more out, but I didn't feel like getting out of my tight seating to get some, but I did have a little taste of my fiancé's chicken. It was okay. Upstairs: Small, but more appropriate for groups less than 15. Overall experience on the water: Very safe Staff: VERY attentive and concerned about our safety entering and departing from the vessel. Great customer service. Would I host a wedding or birthday on this particular Starship... probably not given the cost.

What better way to celebrate than on the Yacht Starship. The Starship is perfect for any occasion and celebration, and none better than my graduation from Leadership Hillsborough-Class of 2024. The evening included a scenic cruise while enjoying dinner and drinks with friends and family.

Fun little trip with pretty good buffet food selection and great music. Our waitress was super nice and was getting us really delicious non alcoholic mojitos per our request.

Why not do something a lot of visitors do when coming to Tampa; a local cruise with food. In this case a Sunday Brunch Cruise. So a few things that a different from just going to a regular on shore restaurant. You get the tickets and then you board, while getting your picture taking in front of the ship (just like a real cruise on a big ship). Except, that part wasn't really that friendly. Got pushed away quickly even though not many people were ready to board. Once on board you get some instructions and your table is shown to you. Here is the highlight; the server (Joy) was really lovely and helpful, made sure we had everything we wanted. The food is a buffet with a bit of everything. Your fruit and salad, pastries, eggs and bacon, French toast and even some stroganoff (which isn't really brunch to me but it was good). The warm food is ok, a little blend (they claimed award winning, which doesn't say much). There was also shrimp and salmon and both were tasty. The ship is ok. Most areas were closed. On the top Deck is a bar and some live music with some Jamaican drums. It was ok but nothing too capturing. The cruise gets you around the Tampa channels and a little bit into the Bay and around Davis Island. I have now done it and would not do it again. But did have fun and that is what it is all about.

I just had the most fantastic time on the Yacht Starship specialty cruise! The Taylor Swift Era-themed cruise was an absolute blast! The ship was buzzing with Swifties of all ages, and the service was top-notch as always. Even with the summer rain storms, the yacht is so spacious that there are plenty of covered outdoor and indoor areas to enjoy. The views of Downtown Tampa were breathtaking as always. Can't wait to relive the experience all over again!

A brunch on the sea with StarShip was the perfect way to celebrate Galentines with my friends. As expected, we had an amazing experience, unlimited mimosa, great brunch, beautiful view, and music. The DJ did an awesome job and kept us entertained with a great selection of songs. Regardless, it's brunch or dinner cruise, it's always a 5-star experience with StarShip.

We're happy to hear you had such a great experience with us, Marjie! Thank you for this lovely review.

First timer for me. Group of 8. Boat was clean and we were seated next to window view. So you could see out. The food was better than expected. Drinks were good also and I would suggest if you want more than 2 alcohol or non alcohol drinks to just keep ordering if in a large group. Server was attentive and friendly. No rough water. They have 2 menus to pre pay that have variety of appetizers and food choices to choose. There is not enough time to enjoy your food and the boat unless you scarf it down quickly. By the time you get your food and eat, there is no time to explore the other levels. (Wish the time was longer) an addition 30 -45 minutes. We ordered appetizers, dinner, drinks, coffee and dessert and by the time we received, and finished, we were back at the dock and was told we had to leave and rushed off. There was couple next to us that was still eating and told they had to get off. They had another group to coming aboard. I would suggest looking at your watch while eating if you want to explore the other levels. I have no idea what the other levels look like and only seen the stairs to go in and out, my table and window to look out to the water. We could have just ate on land and had the same experience.

Andrea - Thank you for the feedback. Typically there's enough time to enjoy the views and meal as the boat departs then still have time for the top deck afterward. We apologize if there was a delay but hope you cruise with us again and mention this so we can ensure it does not happen again! -Yacht StarShip Crew

Everything about this experience was phenomenal!! Every person who worked there was amazing. I'd like to give a shout out to our server, Gary, who definitely added to our great experience. The food was amazing and in a buffet!! Wow!! And on a large yacht in Tampa Bay? Couldn't be any better!! The weather also cooperated. All in all, 5 stars to everything and everyone!! Thank you for making my wife's birthday so memorable!!
