The Carolina Moon is a 37-foot sailing catamaran USCG-certified for up to 24 passengers plus 2 crew, so you can charter it privately for an intimate elopement or a celebration of up to 24 guests.

Do you host sunset weddings and vow renewals on the water?

Yes. We host private sunset boat weddings, elopements, vow renewals and proposals on the calm water of Florida Bay, timed to the sunset, with a champagne toast and the traditional conch blow.
