She departs from our dock at 100 O'Fallon Avenue in Dayton, Kentucky, minutes from downtown Cincinnati, and hosts weddings, corporate events, and private parties for up to 100 guests. - **Is The Destiny being renovated?** Yes. The Destiny gets a full interior renovation this winter: new flooring, new ceilings, a brand-new bar, and a dedicated below-deck bridal suite. She returns for the April 2027 season, so 2027 events book on the freshly renovated yacht. - **How much does a yacht charter cost in Cincinnati?** Private catered charters include the vessel rental, captain and crew, and a full buffet dinner. Bar packages are available as an add-on. Pricing varies by guest count, day of the week, and season. Contact us for a custom quote. - **Do you sell tickets for public cruises on The Destiny?** Ticketed public sailings aboard The Destiny, like the WEBN Riverfest fireworks cruise, are sold through our sister brand Queen City Riverboats at [queencityriverboats.com](https://queencityriverboats.com). Everything on this site is a private charter. - **How far in advance should I book a charter?** We recommend booking 6 to 12 months in advance for weddings and large events, especially during peak season from May through October. Smaller events and corporate outings can often be accommodated with 2–3 months' notice. Popular dates like fireworks cruises sell out quickly. - **What is the deposit and cancellation policy?** A non-refundable deposit is required to secure your date. The remaining balance is due 30 days prior to your event. Cancellations made more than 90 days before the event may receive a partial credit toward a future booking. Contact us for full details. - **What happens if there is bad weather?** We cruise rain or shine. The Destiny's climate-controlled decks keep everyone comfortable no matter the forecast. In the event of severe weather, including thunderstorms, high winds, or a Coast Guard river closure, we'll work with you to reschedule your event at no additional charge. - **Do you allow outside catering or BYOB?** Outside alcohol is never permitted; all drinks come from our Kentucky ABC licensed bar, with bar packages and bottle service available.
