“My wife and I desperately needed some down time from our hectic lives. We both love the ocean, so we decided to do something different and unique. We wanted it to be special but yet affordable, private and romantic. We checked many options on line and came across Stargazer Yacht Charters. We contacted them and impressively we got a return call almost immediately. (What are the odds of that!!). We were able to talk directly to the owner, Capt Richard Pagan. Together we customized a spectacular
charter cruise including Downtown Wilmington, South Port, Bald Head island, Wrightsville beach etc. An all day extravaganza. It was one of the best and most phenomenal trips we ever had. Thank you, we can not wait to do it again.”
