A Few Words From Captain J.P....

I would like to take this opportunity to familiarize you with the luxurious, sleek, and modern dinner yacht, the Capt. JP II.  The Capt. JP II is by far, the largest and most lavish cruise vessel, in the Capital District.  It is a four deck cruise ship, certified by the US Coast Guard to accommodate 600 passengers, and seat in excess of 500 people comfortably.  The Capt. JP II has three completely enclosed decks, equipped with central air/heat, along with full service bars and dance floors on each deck.  Our summer dock is at the intersection of Front and State streets in downtown Troy.

Holding your wedding aboard the Capt. JP II would surely be a unique and
memorable experience for you, and your guests.  We offer a variety of entrée
selections and a la carte menus, all prepared by our chefs on-board, in our well-equipped galley. We also offer entertainment, open bar packages, and a wide selection of wedding cakes.  We offer afternoon, and evening cruises.

Below, you will find information regarding our different wedding package
options.  Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions, or if we can be of any assistance in planning your special day.  Our office hours in the winter are Monday-Friday from 10:30am-3:30pm, and in the summer from 9:00am-5:30pm.  We hope to be a part of  your special occasion, and look forward to hearing from you soon.


Sincerely,

James Pledger Jr.
