Why We Like This Place
If you are a lover of ocean liners, cruise ships, yachts, and all the grandeur and pampering they imply, why not charter one of CommodoreEvents.com’s six luxury yachts for your special day? Their fleet serves 15 ports around San Francisco Bay, including San Francisco, Alameda, and Sausalito, and its founders have been maintaining the fine tradition of elegant entertaining at sea for over 30 years. The white glove treatment is no empty promise on these yachts: Their expert staff—from the uniformed U.S. Merchant Marine Officer captains to the waiters—really do wear them! And the service, whether the event is a wedding, black-tie gala, themed ball, corporate mixer or any other kind of celebration, is impeccable.
The glamorous $6 million Cabernet Sauvignon Commodore is the flagship. It boasts five enormous decks: a luxurious lounge deck outfitted with ultra leather couches and tables; a dining deck for grand sit-down dinners or buffets; a large dance floor deck equipped with an excellent sound system; and an open-air sky deck that will make you feel like you’re on top of the world. Carpeting is plush with an understated nautical theme, and four handsome staterooms on a deck of their own provide a private space for brides and bridesmaids. There’s even an elevator to take guests from one level to the next.
Their fleet also features a trio of finely appointed Mega Yachts: the Pinot Noir, Merlot, and Chardonnay. The Pinot Noir, with its long white bar and mirrored ceilings, looks like the chic set for a James Bond movie. Its sister yacht, the Chardonnay Commodore, is equally stunning. Couples who desire an intimate outdoor ceremony framed by sunlight-spangled waters and blue skies might want to consider the Merlot Commodore. Popular because it serves large groups and small, it has a roomy dance floor on the second deck that spills out onto the open-air deck. The Zinfandel Commodore, a true trimaran, boasts fabulous views from a dining deck with floor-to-ceiling glass. Then there’s the magnificent Fumé Blanc Commodore, a three-deck replica of a New York State Hudson River steamboat. It has a 30-foot dance floor, roomy viewing platforms on the bow, and accommodates up to 468 guests and crew.
All vessels offer: well-appointed settings for dining, relaxing and entertaining; decks outdoors on bow, stern and topside; gorgeous wraparound views of the bay; and multiple options for a wide variety of social and corporate functions. CommodoreEvents.com has all-inclusive packages for every budget and makes it easy to put together the wedding of your dreams. Before booking any other venue, make reservations for one of their open houses where you may “Meet the Fleet.” Bon Voyage!
