We couldn't have asked for a better venue than the Schooner Liberty Clipper. From start to finish, the team was helpful, responsive, and genuinely kind—they made us feel taken care of every step of the way. They went out of their way to accommodate our older guests, helped us create a special cocktail, and even provided a quiet space for us to get ready before the big moment. The boat itself was absolutely gorgeous and looked exactly as described online. Our guests couldn't stop taking photos because the backdrop was just phenomenal, and honestly, it's such a unique experience being out on the water that everyone was talking about it for weeks after. We'd recommend the Schooner Liberty Clipper to any couple looking for something truly special.
