Your Celebration, Designed Beyond the Itinerary
Aboard Knotty Celebrations, the journey is only the beginning. The true magic unfolds in the moments you choose to add — a private chef dinner beneath the stars, a vineyard afternoon overlooking the harbor, a shoreline picnic styled just for two.
Every enhancement is optional. Every detail is intentional. Every experience is crafted around your celebration.
On-Board Enhancements
Private Chef Experience
Dinner at Sea — Reimagined
Dinner at sea becomes one of the highlights of the journey. Whether for a single evening or throughout your voyage, a private chef can prepare a customized menu designed around your tastes and celebration.
From candlelit dinners on deck to curated Pacific Northwest wine pairings, the experience is both intimate and memorable.
Romantic Picnic Setup
A Private Moment on Shore
A beautifully styled picnic awaits on a secluded beach or scenic island clearing. Champagne, coastal air, and a private setting create a moment designed entirely for the two of you.
From a simple sunset spread to a fully styled luxury shoreline setup, each picnic is curated to match the tone of your celebration.
Champagne. Coastal air. No one else in sight.
Spa & Wellness
Unwind at Island Resorts
Enhance your journey with spa treatments at select resort destinations along your route.
Whether you choose one indulgent afternoon or multiple treatments throughout your voyage, these restorative experiences add a layer of calm and renewal to your celebration.
Available at resorts including Rosario, Roche Harbor, Poets Cove, Sonora, Brentwood Bay, and others depending on your itinerary.
Wine Experiences
Island Wine Routes
The San Juan and Gulf Islands are home to boutique vineyards and relaxed tasting rooms. Select a single winery visit or weave a curated wine route into your journey.
Select one winery stop, two curated tastings, or an extended wine route woven into your itinerary.
From San Juan Island to Salt Spring, Galiano, Orcas, and Cowichan Valley, each stop blends coastal scenery with exceptional local wine.
Anniversary, Elopement or Honeymoon Photography
Capture the Celebration
Whether you prefer a short sunset session or a full-day storytelling experience, professional photography ensures your honeymoon or anniversary is documented with intention.
Quiet moments. Candid laughter. Golden-hour portraits at anchor.
Memories preserved long after the voyage ends.
Golf
Island Fairways
For couples who enjoy the game, select island courses can be incorporated into your route — including San Juan, Lopez, and Galiano.
A scenic round surrounded by coastal beauty adds a relaxed, active element to your itinerary.
Charter Fishing (Off-Vessel)
A Day on the Water
Half-day and full-day guided fishing charters can be arranged during your voyage.
Expert local guides lead the experience while Knot Tide remains your private retreat.
(Fishing is not conducted from the yacht itself.)
Premium Pre-Stocked Bar
Curate Your Bar

Enhance your experience with premium upgrades or a fully customized pre-stock list tailored to your preferences.
Every detail prepared before you step aboard.
Wildlife Encounters
The waters surrounding the San Juan Islands and British Columbia’s coastal routes are known for their extraordinary marine life. From the deck of Knot Tide, couples may witness orca pods moving through the straits, humpback whales surfacing in the distance, bald eagles soaring overhead, and harbor seals and sea lions resting along the shoreline.
While sightings can never be guaranteed, these waters are celebrated for their rich ecosystem and unforgettable wildlife moments that naturally become part of the journey.
