The Ultimate Guide To Yacht Charters For Special Occasions
While any time spent on a luxury yacht charter is unique and memorable, celebrating those all-important special occasions onboard is when you can create truly unforgettable memories.
A superyacht charter elevates any celebration from ordinary to exceptional, whether for pleasure or business. It provides a private, luxurious setting completely tailored to your specific needs and preferences. A yacht offers a unique private venue, the flexibility to visit multiple destinations, personalized seven-star service and intimacy for your guests.
Planning Your Special Occasion
Planning in advance for a special occasion onboard is key; our expert charter consultants can work with you to ensure you have the best options available. Many popular yachts get booked up quickly, especially during peak seasons, so you must plan to secure the yacht and dates you wish. There are various factors to consider, such as the destination and season, the type of yacht, the size and layout, how many guests, desired amenities and facilities, and whether you want to cruise or have a static charter.
Once you have chosen the yacht, there are plenty of ways to ensure an unforgettable experience. From gourmet dining experiences, themed decor, watersports and fun activities, fireworks displays, and unique live entertainment to wellness and beauty teams onboard helping you get ready for the event, the opportunities are endless for your special occasion onboard.
Here are some examples of special occasions that are perfect to have onboard a superyacht charter:
Special Milestones
For a truly unique birthday celebration, a yacht charter offers the best way to celebrate with friends and family. Whether you know about it or a loved one has organized a special surprise onboard, there is nothing better than waking up onboard a superyacht to mark another year. Celebrating birthdays onboard is for all ages, whether a milestone 60th or sweet 16th birthday.
The professional crew can ensure you have everything you need for a birthday celebration and put together fun themes. Only imagination is holding you back from having an incredible birthday celebration. Some yachts even have areas that transform into nightclub spaces, such as the 146’3” (44.58m) BIG EASY with its party-perfect sundeck complete with a foam machine and disco lights.
Romantic Rendezvous
A yacht charter's intimacy and privacy are ideal for celebrating love. You have the freedom to be wherever and with whoever you want onboard. Our charter consultants and the crew onboard can help plan multiple special romantic occasions, such as intimate proposals, engagement celebrations, the wedding itself, or even renewing vows.
It doesn't end there; there are also ideal opportunities to charter a yacht for your honeymoon, making it the trip of a lifetime, or to commemorate special wedding anniversaries. No matter your guest size, we have various options within the fleet.
Lifetime Achievements
In life, there are various events that you always want to remember, and what better way to do so than onboard a superyacht? A yacht's versatility means you can create a charter to reflect the significance of each special moment, no matter what it is. You may want to mark the beginning of your working life with a graduation onboard or the end, celebrating a retirement. A yacht charter is the best platform to toast to new beginnings and well-earned achievements, no matter the occasion.
KING BENJI, the 154’ (45m) new build yacht has a highly versatile aft deck space that can cater to any event, from formal dinner parties to casual gatherings; it is the perfect canvas to curate your area for celebrating.
Corporate Events
Yacht charters aren't just for events in your private life; they are also the ideal host for a corporate occasion. It can be a challenge to find innovative ways to impress clients or to motivate and inspire staff, but yacht charters offer a great setting to do so. Yachts are flexible venues facilitating team building and networking opportunities, allowing colleagues to interact and bond in a unique destination.
As well as working hard, superyachts can also enable you to play hard, with plenty of watersports opportunities and the option of hosting company cocktail parties and dinners. The 163’10” (49.94m) BON VIVANT is well suited to hosting various corporate groups thanks to the varied socializing areas and large toy inventory.
Holiday Fun
There are also plenty of opportunities throughout the year where special occasions call out for different ways to celebrate. You can make spending the holidays with family and friends onboard a yacht charter extra special, from chasing the winter sun over Christmas and New Year to having a family adventure over Easter or Thanksgiving.
Consider even treating the parents in your life next Mother's or Father's Day. For something a little different to make the holidays truly special, the 182’9” (55.7m) GALILEO charters in incredible destinations such as the Indian Ocean and the Maldives, and is perfect for family scuba diving and surfing expeditions.
Larger Events
If you want to host many guests for the special occasion, opt for a static charter, where the yacht is berthed in a marina for the entire event. This can be ideal for corporate charters wanting to host various larger functions and conferences or larger parties for birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, etc. For example, ELENI, the 164’1” (50m) yacht is capable of hosting static charters of up to 100 guests.
