Paradiso Charters

Excellent venue with such a beautiful summer day. Had a wonderful time at a private event last July. Professional and friendly staff. It was a very memorable visit to Newport Beach. My family all had a great day cruising the harbor.

So happy to have used Paradiso Yachts for the scattering of my mother’s ashes today!
Thank you so much to John, Fidel and Paul for making today such a great experience for my family. We had a total of 18 adults and children on board today and the ceremony was wonderful! Fidel explained everything prior to departure and we were ready to go! The ash scattering ceremony with the poem, flower petals and doves was outstanding! Loved the idea of tossing the long stem roses in after a memorable thought! Such a great attention to detail. My family raved about the boat and ceremony! Thank you for making this a perfect day of remembrance!

Took my family of 5 out on a 21′ pontoon in Newport Beach today. From start to finish, I couldn’t be happier. The booking process was easy, the staff was helpful and the boat was perfect!!! The staff took the time to walk through the boat and the harbor and recommended the perfect 2 hour route. I could have stayed out all day!!! Will definitely be back again!!!

The Crew of the Paradiso could not have been more accommodating and compassionate, during the beautiful services held on April 26, 2015. The ship is beautiful and the event will forever be fondly remembered, because of the overall experience with the company. Although, I hope not to need the services again in the near future, I would recommend this company to anyone in need of a charter! Paradiso Yacht Charters thank you for making the finality of the tragic loss, a treasured memory.

I can’t thank John and his team enough for hosting my wedding rehearsal dinner aboard the beautiful Paradiso Yacht. Even though I live on the East Coast, John was always quick to answer my questions via phone and email. He made time to give my wife and I a tour of the boat when we were out visiting wedding vendors in preparation for our big day. His pricing and services are fair and clear, and the actual event perfectly lived up to my expectations. Each of my guests were awestruck by how beautiful the yacht and cruise were. John’s responsiveness and flexibility really helped take care of any wedding week anxiety I had. I highly recommend the Paradiso Yacht for your next party. You will not be disappointed!

Great yacht to rent for a nice cruise around Newport harbor! The staff was great! Boat was clean and well cared for. Drink prices were fair. Overall a great experience.

We chartered Paradiso for my stepdad’s burial at sea. Had low expectations. These guys far exceeded. Very accommodated., professional staff. Very positive, inspirational, comforting staff. We hosted 40 plus. Plenty of room to spread out, lay out food. It has a full bar. Can’t go wrong.

Overall Outstanding! It was an excellent experience planning a formal with Paradiso. Everything was great from the start of planning. The yacht was beautiful and the staff was very professional and friendly. They genuinely want their guests to have a great event! This was my first time planning a winter formal for my sorority and the staff was very willing to work with our tight budget to give us an amazing experience. John gave us very good advice regarding details of our party! Everyone had an amazing time on the yacht! Captain Craig was very approachable and even conversed with some of the guests. A big big thanks to Paradiso for making this night so memorable night for so many people!

Had an amazing time! Only thing that was not good is there were some inconsistencies in the prices of alcohol and also they didn’t check their bottles before pouring and my boyfriend got a cup full of bugs! They replaced it with something else of course but it grossed us both out!

We had a memorial service for my grandparents today and the crew was great. The yacht was beautiful and I would highly recommend it for any event that may be coming up.

A big thanks to John and Vanessa and all the Paradiso crew who made my husband’s surprise 50^th birthday an unbelievable success.
Where do I start. Well Vanessa was amazing and dealt with my many questions so professionally and was available to me at anytime.
John was fabulous and totally helped me keep the secret until we saw the yacht, making the most unreliable memories for my husband.
The crew were fabulous and also helped to make the night run smoothly.
I would defiantly recommend Paradiso Yacht Charters to anyone that wants to throw a party with a twist…
I can’t wait to throw another one soon…
Thanks guys…

Exceptional venue, outstanding and professional staff, amazing time enjoyed by all! We were referred to Paradiso by a family friend and I am so grateful for their suggestion; so glad we looked into hosting a close group of family and friends to help us celebrate our dad’s surprise 70^th birthday party. With only 4 weeks to plan, everything went almost flawlessly! I reached out to Vanessa and within moments she returned my call and we exchanged several emails to detail and understand the event information. She was accommodating from the very first moment we spoke. I am so thankful to Paradiso’s staff for helping out with our day spent with our dad, and everything went so well! It was such an amazing experience to share with our family and friends. I am still overwhelmed with smiles by our day spent making some of the best memories, I am sure that even our dad would agree. I just can’t stop yammering about what an awesome day we had with everyone on board Paradiso.
Here is a list of suggestions if you are planning to host an event with Paradiso:
Park temporarily with the restaurant valet permission so as not to have to walk so far to load and unload supplies for the event on board Paradiso. Also, parking was probably the only issue we had, as Paradiso provides a parking permit it still did not help with the location’s limited parking spaces. Make sure you arrive in plenty of time to find parking! We catered our food from a nearby Mexican restaurant and it was really easy to pick up the catering platters and kept our food on board to simple, yet filling appetizers and sweet treats. Our guests really enjoyed the food. Paradiso gave us access to a fridge and kitchen amenities, and we had fruit trays and our catered food that was perfect for up to 55 guests. An on board bar and bar staff kept our guests content. I had over prepared on decorations but due to time, I omitted several decoration ideas during setup. One table for a photo tribute to the birthday guest of honor, a table area for cake and desserts, a side bar for plates and utensils, an area for the food platters is all I had. It was just enough space :) we did try to view a DVD movie I made to document our Dad’s life and were unable to do so as the connection would not work from our laptop or from the DVD directly. Fortunately, some photos accompanying the day was just fine. Tons of sitting areas to keep guests comfortable. Beautiful harbor views and the bow of the boat is so open and spacious! The kids had a blast exploring the yacht and enjoyed themselves probably even more than the adults; and we adults were enjoying the experience immensely! It was a day enjoyed by all who attended. Definitely suggest wearing small heels or flats! Be comfortable and enjoy the yacht without worrying of falling.
Grab your cocktail, be out on deck and enjoy the beautiful harbor cruise.
Thank you again, Paradiso!!! We have such amazing memories of our day and event. I hope to return again to celebrate another life moment sooner than later!

Several friends and I wanted to float around the harbor for a few hours and we were delighted to learn that Paradiso had a pontoon boat available for just such an adventure! The boat was exceptionally clean and a smooth ride. There was plenty of room for all of us. It even had a bathroom — a welcomed feature after enjoying a few cocktails on a sunny afternoon!

We chartered a pontoon boat from Paradiso for a couple of relaxing hours. The pontoon beats a Duffy any day! It is much more comfortable and roomy. Plus the pontoon has a head (bathroom) — need I say more!

I just celebrated a major birthday and wanted to do it in style. The Paradiso was so fabulous. It was not only a luxurious, upscale yacht but all the staff were so helpful and professional. I highly recommend using them for any special occasion or corporate function.

Thank you Paradiso for an awesome birthday party! A few weeks ago I celebrated my 30^th birthday aboard Paradiso. From start to finish Vanessa helped wit h all the details in planning. The crew did an amazing job during the charter making sure that I enjoyed myself and captain Bob commanded a safe voyage. I couldn’t have asked for a better party! I would definitely recommend Paradiso Yacht Charters.

We recently attended a family member’s burial at sea service aboard Paradiso. The staff and crew were very professional and the boat was very well maintained. The captain did an exceptional job in dealing with our family during this emotional time. The service was something that I will always cherish. Thank you Paradiso Yacht Charters for helping my family in time of need.

Had the privilege to celebrate a friend’s birthday on the Paridiso. Staff was very friendly and helpful! Highly recommend :)
We also had a chance to see dolphins on the way back which was a nice touch the end the trip.

Very unprofessional office staff!

awesome boat! I’m so excited to spend the next three hours on here: D
