We are loving this article published by uniquevenues.com.  It repeats exactly what we are always pointing out to our clients.  No need to spend a lot of money on decor when you rent a 100 foot private yacht.  The scenery is everything your guests want to see!

Here are some scenic shots from recent charters on board The Carolina Girl:

We always appreciate and encourage any feedback after events.  It is always refreshing especially to hear positive encouragement.  Here are some kind words we received from our April 27 bride and groom:

Camille, Ashley, Captain Bob & Carolina Girl Staff ~

We just wanted to thank you for making our wedding so amazing!

You have a wonderful crew who impressed us every step of the way. From the very beginning we could tell that the Carolina Girl employed the best of the best – very helpful, passionate, personable, and knowledgeable employees. We were a bit uncertain on how a destination wedding would turn out, but the Carolina Girl did an outstanding job. The communication between the follow up phone calls, emails, and meeting Camille and Captain Bob on board the Carolina Girl made us confident that the Carolina Girl was the perfect venue for our wedding. We are so amazed with the way everything turned out and we wouldn’t change a thing. The Carolina Girl is the perfect location for any event! We will definitely recommend the Carolina Girl to everyone in the Charleston area.

Thanks!

Cheryl & John

On Sunday, 80 children from the Epworth Home were treated to an afternoon cruise aboard The Carolina Girl!  Each year, they travel from Columbia to Charleston to experience first-hand what it takes to move such a large vessel.  The kids love sitting in the captain’s chair, navigating using the GPS and having their turn at sounding the horn!

Who knew an engine room could be so fascinating?  For those of you that are not lucky enough to see it in person, pictures will have to do.   We get comments all the time on how amazed people are when they peek inside the engine room and see how clean it is and what it is that really makes this 100 foot yacht move.  Just like the rest of the Carolina Girl, the engine room is spotless – just like the Coast Guard likes it!

Here are a few fun facts followed by some pictures.

-It takes 35 gallons of oil when changing the oil

-At top speed, the 2 engines burn 60 gallons of fuel an hour

-There are 2 generators that run separately, so we always have a full back up

-The engines have less than 500 hours on them (Practically new in the boating world)

-The engine room is equipped with cameras that the captain can watch in the pilot house

Emily and Adam had their ceremony and reception on board the Carolina Girl in September.  Emily’s mom is very crafty and made all of the decor for the dining room and upstairs for the ceremony!  Everyone danced the night away!  Thank you to Spencer’s Photography for the great pictures!
