Partying on board has been one of the industry’s biggest taboos
Partying on a yacht has always been a bit of a no-go in our industry. As yacht managers, we always prioritize the event’s quality, ensuring everyone knows the rules and avoiding any unexpected damage. But you know what? I’ve always loved organizing themed and corporate charters or events onboard. One event that really stood out was that daring “Shoes Only” party. Of course, our crew couldn’t resist sneaking a peek through binoculars…
For many people, the ultimate dream is kicking back on a superyacht. Soaking up the sun, listening to the waves gently lapping against the boat, and just letting the gentle sway lull you into absolute bliss. But yachts aren’t just about relaxation; they’re incredible for socializing and bringing people together. That’s why the demand for yacht parties and events has skyrocketed lately.
Whether the yacht is out at sea or docked at a marina, with the right people and planning, anyone can throw an unforgettable party. A good party organizer and a reputable broker can team up with top brands to showcase rare jewelry, art, or host one-of-a-kind events. Once you’ve thrown a yacht party, trust me, it becomes a habit and a lifestyle.
Yacht parties are always a hit with owners and guests alike, thanks to the stunning views, the sea breeze, and the spectacular nighttime displays like fireworks. The view changes depending on where the yacht is, the weather, and the lighting, but whether you’re in a marina or out at sea, the vistas are bound to be stunning, giving you plenty to talk about and fantastic selfie opportunities.
When it comes to relaxation, there’s nothing better than being on a superyacht. Ideally under the warm sun, surrounded by calm turquoise waters, or under the stars; with the underwater lights of the yacht setting the scene. Throw in some delicious cocktails, and your guests will be more relaxed than ever. Yacht parties create such a peaceful and relaxed atmosphere that everyone’s in a great mood and completely at ease! There’s no awkwardness among guests who don’t know each other, no uncomfortable silences, and no negative vibes. As every one of your guests kicks back and enjoys themselves, the party just keeps getting better. And you’d be surprised—some pretty significant deals and agreements have been made onboard during these parties.
And, believe it or not, yacht parties are actually, pretty cost-effective compared to renting a villa or a hotel. That’s probably why they’ve stayed so popular over the years.
How many gentlemen’s deals have been sealed following a great party on board?
Catering companies and party-planning organizations that specialize in yacht parties can provide food, drinks, and hospitality packages to suit all budgets. If you want a luxurious yacht party experience with no expenses spared, then, they can constantly serve: champagne cocktails and canapés, treating guests like royalty. Alternatively, if you prefer to keep costs down while still ensuring plenty of food and drink for your guests, that’s also possible. After all, the essence of a party is about enjoyment, and selecting the right theme ensures a great time.
And you know, one of the great aspects of a superyacht party is the variety of themes available. You could opt for a nautical theme, to decorate with blue and white accessories, anchors, ship wheels, and bells. During the day, you can choose a swashbuckling pirate theme, while an elegant black-tie cocktail party with champagne, and caviar nibbles. And a glamorous attire is perfect for the evening. The choice of theme is ultimately yours, as a superyacht offers numerous appealing options. Partying onboard embodies a lifestyle, and you, as an Owner or Charterer, should embrace the enjoyment your yacht can facilitate.
