Prepared aboard
Your own private chef
Two dining experiences are planned around your group and prepared aboard—not dropped off in catering trays or ordered from a marina restaurant.
The Signature Private Day Retreat
Eight hours reserved exclusively for one invited group. Your captain, chef, and crew host the complete experience—from a personal welcome and brunch through golden hour and a second chef-prepared meal.
Discuss This ExperienceNot simply eight hours of yacht time
The Signature Private Day Retreat is designed for guests who want more than access to a beautiful boat. Before you arrive, we learn who is attending, what you are celebrating, how you prefer to dine, and what would make the day meaningful.
When you step aboard, the yacht is ready, your menu has been prepared, your route has been considered, and every member of the crew knows the experience we are creating for your group. Nothing is shared, and nothing essential is added to the bill later.
What the price makes possible
The value is not hidden in a list of operating costs. It appears in the preparation before you arrive, the service throughout the day, and the freedom to enjoy your people without coordinating the details yourself.

Prepared aboard
Two dining experiences are planned around your group and prepared aboard—not dropped off in catering trays or ordered from a marina restaurant.

Reserved for your group
The table, menu, timing, and view belong to your invited party. Dine when the day feels right, with no restaurant schedule pushing you along.

Attentive, never crowded
Finish the day with dessert, beverages, and quiet service as the light changes over the Chesapeake—without unrelated passengers around you.

A personal greeting, signature beverage, and chef-prepared welcome bite begin the experience.

Enjoy dessert and private golden-hour service as the day draws to a close.
Return to the marina with no fuel charge, cleaning fee, or checkout invoice waiting.

Why this is different
Both experiences can provide time on the water. The difference is what you must arrange yourself and what is already waiting when you arrive.
| The difference | A conventional yacht charter | The Private Passage |
|---|---|---|
| What you are reserving | Primarily the vessel and cruising time | The yacht and the complete hosted experience |
| Dining | May be limited, delivered, or arranged separately | Two meals prepared aboard by your private chef |
| Planning | The customer coordinates food, timing, and special details | Our team plans the menu, route, pace, service, and thoughtful details |
| Pricing | Fuel, cleaning, taxes, and booking fees may be itemized separately and come as a surprise | One clearly stated $18,500 total package price |
| Service | Crew attention is often centered on operating the vessel | Captain, chef, and crew are prepared to give your group exceptionally attentive service |
| Privacy | Not always private—depending on the operator, other parties may be aboard | One invited group with the yacht, table, chef, and day entirely to itself |
You are not paying only to use a yacht. You are paying for gourmet food, exceptionally attentive service, and memories for a lifetime.
Optional overnight extension
After your evening or full-day experience, remain aboard for a private overnight stay at the marina. Five private staterooms, each with its own en suite bathroom, provide comfortable space for up to six guests. Enjoy the yacht's guest areas, evening turndown service, and a relaxed breakfast prepared aboard by your onboard chef the following morning.
This is a separate experience you choose in advance—never a fee added later. Your complete extension price is confirmed in writing before booking.
