“I would like to take this opportunity to familiarize you with the luxurious dinner boat, the Capt. JP III. The Capt. JP III is by far the largest cruise vessel in the Capital District. It is certified by the US Coast Guard to accommodate 600 passengers, and seat in excess of 400 people comfortably. The Capt. JP III has two completely enclosed decks, each equipped with central air and heat, along with full service bars and dance floors on each deck. Our summer dock is at the intersection of State St and Front St in downtown Troy.
Holding your wedding aboard the Capt. JP III 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, Wednesday, and Friday from 10:00am-3:00pm, and in the summer Monday-Friday from 9:00am-5:00pm. We hope to be a part of your special occasion, and look forward to hearing from you soon.”
Sincerely,
James Pledger Jr.
President,
Capt. JP Cruise Line
