”Knot” YOUR ordinary day at the office!
“Fabulous day aboard the Gaslight! We did a business event and took clients with us. The Gaslight crew were top notch before, during and after the event. Super helpful, super professional and lots of fun! They helped us execute the event perfectly and our guests had an amazing time. The boat itself is gorgeous, clean, spacious and bright. Sail was super smooth and loads of fun. Thank you to everyone that helped make our day so great. We'll definitely be using this charter again in the future.”
