Testimonials Featuring Captain Bill.
“The boat is just beautiful…the food was delicious and it was wonderful to be able to have everyone seated downstairs comfortably together. Your crew could not have been more helpful throughout our trip. Captain Bill even honored my request to go by AT&T Park which our guests really loved…a unique experience.” Leticia Avalos Hathaway Dinwiddie Construction Company
“My husband and I had our wedding aboard the California Spirit and had an AMAZING experience from beginning to end. They also worked within our budget without any hassle at all. The yacht was absolutely beautiful and clean and perfect for an intimate wedding and super-fun celebration afterwards (we fit 70 people total for the cruise with dinner/dancing and it wasn’t overcrowded at all).
Captain Bill married my husband and me in a short sweet ceremony. The staff was so nice and hospitable and were able to keep our celebration ON SCHEDULE which I’m so grateful for.
I highly highly highly recommend using YCI for any special occasion- I guarantee it will be a worry free experience.” – Candice
“Spectacular views, fabulous food and wonderful, friendly, engaging service were the words used by the guests who attended our wedding aboard the California Spirit. Mardi, Keith, Captain Bill and the YCI staff created an elegant atmosphere for our wedding which we will never forget. It was more than what we could have envisioned. Everyone said that they had a great time and thought the yacht was spacious and beautiful. Captain Bill performed the ceremony making it very special to us. If you want a five star experience with every detail attended to, call on YCI.
Peter and I had been widows for nine years and when we decided to marry again, we wanted our celebration to be elegant, memorable and fun. Thank you YCI for exceeding our expectations.” – JoAnn

Bill Nadauld, Captain
Captain William “Bill” Nadauld is the perfect poster Captain. His life-long interest in boats began at the tender age of ten with the construction of his first motorized vessel. He has been operating cruise vessels on the San Francisco Bay for many years and has been Port Captain for Yacht Connections for several years. His professional sea time includes commercial fishing in Alaska, charter vessels off the Washington coast, and as a riverboat Captain on several U.S. inland bay, sound and river waters.
He brings nearly 45 years of direct, hands on experience with marine engine, navigation, electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic, and emergency fire and life saving systems. Guests are awed by his nautical experience and his knowledge of historical facts of the Bay and beyond. Brides request for him to officiate their on board wedding. Knowing that maintenance is second only to proper crew training, Captain Bill shares a large dose of common sense and real world experience essential in extracting the best possible performance from all of us at Yacht Connections.
