Why Blu Notte

An Event Venue
Unlike Any Other

Banquet halls are interchangeable. A private yacht on the Puget Sound is not. Here's what sets a Blu Notte event apart from anything on land.

The entire 54-foot yacht is yours alone. No strangers, no shared spaces — just your group and our crew.

Experienced Crew

Our professional crew knows Puget Sound intimately — and they know how to make guests feel exceptional.

Custom Itineraries

Your route, your pace, your destinations. We build every charter around what matters to you.

Full Catering Service

Hors d'oeuvres included on every charter, with gourmet menus and champagne service available as upgrades.
