Wedding cruises require a bit more coordination than your typical charter, and Captain Doug walks you through every detail beforehand. You'll want to connect with him well before your wedding date to discuss timing, guest boarding, ceremony setup, and any special requests you might have. The Bayliner's layout works perfectly for wedding ceremonies - there's enough deck space for guests to gather comfortably while giving the couple a focal point for their vows. The twin engines provide excellent maneuverability, so the captain can adjust positioning throughout the ceremony if needed, whether that's for better lighting, calmer waters, or optimal photo angles.

The 4-hour window gives you time for boarding, cruising to your ceremony spot, the actual ceremony, celebration time, and a leisurely cruise back to the dock.
East Bay offers something special for waterfront weddings that you won't find in more crowded coastal areas.

Wildlife sightings add an extra magical element to wedding cruises in these waters.

The area's bird life is impressive too, with pelicans, ospreys, and various wading birds that create picture-perfect moments throughout your cruise. The bay's geography provides natural windbreaks, which means more comfortable conditions for your guests and better hair and dress situations for photos. Captain Doug knows the sweet spots where the scenery is most dramatic and the waters are calmest, positioning your wedding ceremony for both beauty and comfort.
