Founded by Captain Gerry K. Robertson, (formerly Bay and Delta Charters), Empress Events has remained a family-owned and operated luxury yacht charter group. Captain Gerry noticed the strong demand for yacht charters in the famous San Francisco Bay and knew following his passion by starting this fleet would be a great way to spend time on the water with family, friends and friends-to-be. To this day, Empress Events has many loyal customers and with their consistently stellar service, make more “Friends of Empress Events” with each cruise.
We have an extraordinary team made up of family and friends and it shows in the way we take care of our clientele. Meet the Staff!
