What Our Guests are Saying

On behalf of the Virginia Yacht Club, I want to say THANK YOU for a great experience aboard the FREEDOM ELITE. Everything was done to a high level from the food, the service, the boat itself and the staff from the Captain to everyone who took such great care of us. It was a magical night, and everyone was so pleased. I would highly recommend others to consider chartering with you for any special occasion. JOB WELL DONE!
