When it comes to settings for a memorable party, they don’t come much more glamorous than a yacht. Whether you’re looking to celebrate a birthday, host a corporate event or toast a wedding reception, taking the proceedings out onto the water can give them that little something extra.
But what’s the best approach to hosting a party of this kind? Let’s take a look at a few important considerations.
Choose the right yacht for your event
When choosing a party venue, you’ll want to match the size of the space with the number of guests you’ll be hosting and the activities you want to do. The same applies when you’re choosing a yacht. If you want to have dozens of people dancing on deck at the same time, then you’ll probably need a large vessel. It might be that your budget extends to that. But if it doesn’t, then you’ll want to pick out the yacht that matches your financial resources and design your party accordingly. Fortunately, there are plenty of yachts for charter available.
Timing and itinerary: Plan around the perfect moment
A memorable party is about more than spending a few hours in the same place with the same people. To keep things interesting, a sense of structure might be worthwhile. It might be that you can move the party to a secluded beach at a certain time of day or serve dinner beneath the stars or cocktails at sunset.
Of course, when you’re doing this on a yacht, you’ll have to contend with external factors like the weather and the conditions at sea. Make sure that your schedule is flexible enough so that it can be adapted to whatever nature may throw at you.
Food, drinks and a personal chef experience
If you’re going to the trouble of chartering a yacht, then why not ensure that the food and drink you serve are in keeping with the venue? The vessel, after all, will seem a lot less glamorous if the dining options are subpar. Hire a personal chef (or pick a chartered vessel that comes with one) and craft a menu that factors in the tastes and dietary needs of your guests, as well as the produce available in whatever area you’re going to be dropping anchor in.
Dress code and guest etiquette
The clothes that your guests wear should match the occasion and the vessel. It’s worth being specific about what’s allowed and what’s not allowed so that your guests don’t fall on the wrong side of them. Non-marking shoes might be considered mandatory, with a ban on high heels. You should also be specific about which areas of the yacht your guests are allowed to wander into.
