Mon Tiki Largo publishes USCG certified to 75 guests on the operator's own site, first party. That makes it the largest sailing vessel available for a wedding on Long Island, and this is one of only two operators in our study that publish a certified number for each hull in the fleet. What the operator does not publish is a private charter rate.
sailingmontauk.com/fleet/largoMost Long Island sites blur the captain's credential and the vessel's inspection into one word. This one keeps them apart. The fleet page states that the vessel is USCG certified to 75 guests and separately that a USCG Master captain is included. Sister hulls carry their own figures, with the 40 foot Mon Tiki at 49 guests and Mon Tiki Mini at six. Booking two vessels in tandem is published at up to 124 passengers, the largest sail based capacity on the island. No certificate document is public for any of them, so 75 remains the operator's statement until you see it.
The only dollar figures on the site are ticket prices. Tiki Tuesday music sessions are $75 per ticket for a two hour outing, and the Family Sail and Swim is $150 for adults and $100 for children under 12 on a three hour outing, both first party. No private charter rate is published anywhere we looked, including the charters page and the Largo fleet page. Charter options are listed at two hours and three hours. For the number, you call.
The charters page names bachelorette, bachelor and wedding parties among ideal uses. Read that literally, because it points at pre wedding events. Nothing on the site says whether a ceremony may be performed aboard, or what happens to a booking in weather. The linked weather and cancellation policy and the terms and conditions pages could not be retrieved when we looked. All food and beverage is bring your own, with wine, beer and seltzers permitted in moderate quantities and local catering referrals available on request. The Tiki Tuesday page asks for no hard liquor.
Largo sails from Slip 501 at Montauk Yacht Club, a resort and marina at 32 Star Island Road. The yacht club itself sells land based weddings, so a ceremony ashore followed by a reception under sail is a pairing this dock makes physically possible. That is two contracts with two parties and two sets of rules. Treat it as a plan to build deliberately.
The 150 passenger figure attached to The Lauren Kristy comes from third party editorial, and from four independent write ups that agree with each other.
The Freeport Gem publishes $4,950 for up to 50 people, tax and gratuity included, and $55 per additional person plus tax.
Sapphire Princess publishes a capacity of up to 127 guests on its own site, and that figure is corroborated twice.
Captain Lou Fleet publishes 1 to 150 passengers for Captain Lou VII on its private charters page, first party, and the identical figure for two sister hulls at the same dock.
The Moon Chaser publishes a capacity of 200 people, first party, which is the largest of any vessel docked on Long Island.
Bay Princess II says it is licensed for 100 passengers, first party, which is the closest any Long Island operator comes to publishing a certificated number on its own site.
