day party on a yacht

How To Host The Most Memorable Yacht Party Ever

A yacht party is one of the most fun and extravagant ways to celebrate an occasion. Not only are they unique, but they can also be far more versatile than you might think. It's the ultimate venue for a glamorous party; think top-notch DJs, magically mixed drinks, and your favorite vape juice  here are a few tips for planning and throwing the ultimate yacht party.

Pick the Right Yacht

Firstly, you need to pick the right yacht. They come in all shapes and sizes, and some are better for parties than others. You need to pick one that is the right size but in terms of space for guests, not a boat that is big because it has an onboard gym, helipad, etc. You need one that can hold dozens of guests comfortably. 

One-Day vs. Multi-Day

The need for beds and extra facilities will also come into play if this is a multi-day event. If you are planning on guests staying on the yacht, you need one big enough to house them, not just one with enough space for a party.

Bedding Options

Many yachts will have multiple sleeping options, which would include couches that can be turned into beds. It is important to remember that there are limitations; therefore, you need to have a set guest list for those who will sleep on the yacht well before the party date. 

Considering this is a party, you need a yacht that is fitted with extra facilities, such as a kitchen, bathroom, possibly showers, etc. It would be difficult to have an easy-flowing party if guests had to constantly leave the boat to go to the bathroom, get food, etc. 

Docked vs. At Sea

Another decision you need to make is whether the yacht will be docked or if you will go out to sea. Docked is typically easier as you can have all your food and drinks on land, and there are more options for guests to move around, sit somewhere else, etc. 

Going out to sea is far more fun and exciting, but it does require more planning. You need to ensure that the yacht is fully stocked with everything you may need, from bottle openers to toilet paper, as well as all the food and drinks for all your guests.

When it comes to weather, it isn’t about safety at sea, as your captain will make that decision, but it is more about guest comfort and available undercover space. If you are out at sea and it begins to rain, and you all have to get below deck or under cover, it can be a very tight squeeze. 

Instead, choose a yacht that has ample cover or below-deck space, or ensure you have large umbrellas that can be set up in the event of a downpour. 

Pick a Theme

Once you have chosen your yacht, a theme is a great way to add a layer of fun to the entire event. When it comes to themes, the sky is the limit, as you can choose almost anything, and it can easily work in a yacht setting. 

A few themes that always work well are black-tie, James Bond, etc. To add an extra layer of excitement, consider a pirate-themed extravaganza where guests can don their finest pirate costumes  and embark on an unforgettable voyage of swashbuckling adventure and maritime merriment. The goal is to make the theme memorable, as an average theme can quickly turn the party into a forgettable event. 

Food & Drink

Food and drinks are two of the most important things for any party. The first decision you need to make is whether you will have buffet-style food  or canapes that can be handed out throughout the night. Depending on your budget and the amount of guests you have, you can hire a chef to cook lunch or dinner onboard, too. 

For drinks, many high-end yachts will have a bar; this means you can hire a bartended for the day/night that can serve drinks and also mix up a few cocktails for your guests. All of these things will cost more money, but it does add an extravagant touch that is hard to beat.

Music & Entertainment 

Another essential for any great party is music and entertainment. Once again, you have multiple options for both, depending on your budget. If you want it to be more budget-friendly, a laptop or phone with a few playlists  plugged into the sound system will do the job. 

If you want to go the extra mile, you can hire a DJ to come play at the party. There will be ample space for them to set up, and not only will it keep the party going all night long, but being able to do requests, sing-alongs, etc, make the event that much more fun. 

Finally, it is always important for you and your guests to understand the safety aspect of being on a yacht, especially if you go out to sea. Consulting with the captain beforehand will allow you to create a mini “safety briefing” that can be included with the invitations. 

It is also important to clearly tape off or lock areas or rooms that shouldn’t be accessed by guests. Once again, the captain can handle this, but making signs and informing your guests will ensure everyone is on the same page and stays safe throughout the party.

How to Plan a Yacht Party: Dos and Don’ts

Home » How to Plan a Yacht Party: Dos and Don’ts

Table of Contents

There’s something undeniably glamorous about a yacht party. It’s a unique blend of freedom, luxury, and natural beauty, creating an unforgettable experience. However charming and fun as it may sound, planning a yacht party requires meticulous attention to detail. This blog post aims to help you navigate the waves and devise the perfect plan to host a memorable yacht party.

Following this guide, avoid common pitfalls and ensure your yacht party is smooth sailing.

Understanding What a Yacht Party Entails

A yacht party is more than just a gathering at sea. It’s a chance to escape the ordinary and immerse yourself in a unique, luxurious setting. With the ocean as your backdrop and the sky as your ceiling, a yacht party offers unparalleled freedom and exclusivity. Whether it’s a birthday party, corporate event, or simply a gathering of friends, a yacht party can be a perfect setting for a memorable event.

There are many elements involved that differ from planning a regular party. For example , you must consider factors such as marine safety, yacht size and capacity, weather conditions, and, in some cases, maritime laws. Proper planning ensures a memorable experience for your guests and allows you to handle unforeseen circumstances.

The Planning Stage

The initial planning phase is crucial for a successful yacht party. This process involves several critical decisions that can shape your event.

A. Setting the Budget

Just like any event, a yacht party begins with setting a budget. Your budget will dictate the size of the yacht, the type of food and drinks, the decor, and the entertainment. Factors that come into play include the yacht rental cost, catering services, DJ or live music, decorations, and insurance coverage.

Once you have a clear idea of these costs, you can balance your budget, making necessary adjustments to ensure you spend your money wisely. Remember, a memorable yacht party doesn’t necessarily mean an extravagant one; it’s all about meticulous planning and intelligent spending.

B. Choosing the Right Yacht

The yacht is the centerpiece of your party. Factors such as the number of guests, event type, and budget will guide your choice. Do you want a sporty, fast yacht for a small gathering or a large, luxurious one for a bigger crowd?

Yacht rental companies usually have a wide variety of options. Consider involving professionals in your selection process to ensure the yacht meets your needs and complies with safety standards.

C. Setting the Date and Time

Choosing the date and time of your event involves more than just your personal preference. You’ll also need to consider the local weather and sea conditions. The time of day can also affect the atmosphere of your event.

A sunset cruise, for instance, could provide a stunning backdrop for a more romantic or laid-back party. Always have a backup plan in case of unexpected weather changes; your yacht rental company can often guide you on this.

The Invitation Essentials

There are a few “ must haves ” for a party like this including:

An Appealing Guest List

A yacht party is typically an intimate event due to the limited space, so consider who you’d like to invite. Curate a guest list that will create a harmonious and enjoyable atmosphere. A good mix of family, close friends, and colleagues works well.

Deciding on the Appropriate Number of Guests

The number of guests is equally as crucial to your yacht choice. Consider the yacht’s capacity when deciding on your guest list. An overcrowded boat can quickly become uncomfortable and could pose safety risks.

Designing and Sending out Invitations

Once you’ve settled on your guest list, it’s time to send out invitations. As this is a “event”, consider adding a touch of maritime flair to your invitations to build excitement. You can also use the invitation to inform your guests about the dress code, expected weather, and any activities you have planned.

RSVP follow-up process

It’s essential to have a precise count of who will be attending, so make sure you request RSVPs on your invitations and follow up with any guests you have yet to hear from as the date approaches.

Themes and Decorations

Choosing a theme adds a fun element and provides a guide for your decorations, food choices, and even the dress code. A well-chosen piece can tie everything together and make your party more memorable.

Some popular themes include tropical luau , nautical, white party, and old Hollywood glamour. When choosing a theme, consider what fits your style and would appeal to your guests.

Sourcing and Setting Up Decorations

Once you’ve chosen a theme, you can start sourcing decorations. While the yacht is already quite a spectacle, adding thoughtful decor can elevate the ambiance. Consider table decorations, lighting effects, and a focal point such as a decorated archway or photo backdrop. Check with your yacht rental company about any restrictions for setting up decorations.

Food and Drink

Food and drink are at the heart of any party. When planning your menu, consider the duration of the party, the time of day, and your guests’ dietary preferences and restrictions. For a yacht party, it’s typically best to serve dishes that can be enjoyed while mingling, such as finger foods or a buffet.

While hiring a caterer can ease a lot of stress, it might only fit into some budgets. If you decide to take care of the food yourself, plan dishes that can be prepared beforehand to minimize stress on the day of the party.

The Role of a Professional Caterer

A professional caterer can provide expert advice on menu choices, handle all prep work, and maintain food safety. Some caterers even offer serving staff to take care of your guests during the party.

Decide if you will offer an open bar, a cash bar, or a combination. An open bar, while more generous, will increase your costs. A cash bar, where guests pay for their drinks, can help keep your budget under control. Consider a combination approach, such as offering a selection of free drinks and charging for premium beverages.

Entertainment plays a crucial role in setting the tone of the event—options for entertainment range from live music and DJs to interactive games. You could also consider a dance floor if space permits. Creating a playlist of background music for a more relaxed event might be all you need.

If you’re considering hiring a DJ or a live band, consider the space available on the yacht and your guests’ musical preferences. You’ll also need to check with the yacht company regarding any sound restrictions or requirements for power sources.

Games can be a great icebreaker, especially if all your guests don’t know each other. Ensure any games you plan are suitable for the yacht environment and won’t pose any safety risks. You could also consider other interactive activities, like a photo booth with props, or even hiring a magician or other entertainer for some onboard amusement.

Safety Precautions: Be Safe Onboard

While a yacht party is all about fun, it’s vital to recognize safety. Ensure that the yacht is equipped with enough life vests for everyone and that the crew is prepared to handle emergencies. Sharing safety information with your guests before setting sail is also a good idea.

General Safety Guidelines

Some general safety guidelines include not overloading the yacht, avoiding risky behavior like pushing people into the water, and being cautious with alcohol consumption to prevent accidents. If children are present, consider having extra supervision to ensure they stay safe.

Dealing with Seasickness and Other Potential Health Concerns

Even if the weather looks calm, guests may still experience seasickness. It’s a good idea to have seasickness remedies available. Also, if your party lasts for several hours, ensure there’s a space where guests can rest if they’re feeling unwell. Keep a first aid kit handy, and remember to cater to any special dietary needs to prevent allergic reactions or other food-related issues.

A. Critical Dos to Ensure a Memorable Yacht Party

• Do communicate effectively with your guests about the event details, including the dress code, potential weather conditions, and any other relevant information.
• Ensure your guests know where the safety equipment is stored and understand the basic safety rules. Do have a backup plan in case of bad weather or other unforeseen circumstances.
• Ensure your guests have enough food, drinks, and amenities like clean restrooms and shaded areas.
• Remember to respect the maritime laws and regulations, and remind your guests to do the same.

B. Crucial Don’ts to Avoid Mishaps and Discomfort

• Don’t overcrowd the yacht; ensure you’re within the capacity limit for a comfortable and safe event.
• Don’t ignore the your guests needs and preferences, especially concerning food allergies or dietary restrictions. Their comfort is important.
• Don’t forget to clean up after the party. Leave the yacht as you found it out of respect for the company and the environment.

Get to Planning!

Planning a yacht party may require significant work and attention to detail, but the result is well worth it. With the sound of the waves as your soundtrack and the open sea as your backdrop, it can be a unique and unforgettable experience. Following these guidelines ensures a smooth and enjoyable time that your guests will remember for years.

So, take the helm and start planning your perfect yacht party!

Remember, a successful event is not just about impeccable planning but also about your ability to adapt and handle unforeseen circumstances gracefully. So keep a positive attitude, embrace any surprises along the way, and remember to enjoy the party too. You’ve earned it!

Happy sailing!

8 Ways to Make Your Yacht Party Unforgettable

The guest list is set. Invites are set. RSVPs are rolling in. The excitement is buzzing for your next great soiree – and this time, that #yachtlife is calling. 

Yup, that’s right. You’re upping your party planning game by hosting an unforgettable yacht party for your friends. 

But how do you make it an affair to remember? Our party planning experts know how to throw a yacht party . And our home base in Marina del Rey is just the place to do it.

What comes next? Read on to find out. 

 1 – Set Your Theme

Hawaiian luau or rockstar punk? Roaring 20s or fiesta fun? Or do you prefer to keep it simple and focus on certain colors and hues? 

Whatever you decide, your theme will set the tone for your event. And a theme will help build your accents, decor, and other creative touches. Once you set the course, the fun is in the details.

2 – Music, Please

Do your guests like to heat up the dance floor? Book a DJ that will get your crowd moving. Or is live music more your style? From large big bands to smaller trios, live entertainment can seamlessly take your event from dinner to dancing.

Also, consider your party’s theme when choosing music. A casual beach-themed party calls for laid-back surf jams while a black tie affair might prompt classic dance hits, 

If you’re building your own playlist, be sure to include crowd-pleasers and recommendations from your guests.

Music keeps the party moving – get grooving!

Whether you’re hosting a big bash or intimate affair, determining a headcount right from the beginning will help ease the headache of unaccounted space issues and expenses. This will also help determine the best yacht rental in Marina del Rey for your soiree — not to mention your budget!

Think cigar rolling, spirit tasting, poker tables, and lawn games like cornhole (we’ve held games on our FantaSea One skydeck!), all of which are popular ways to keep your guests smiling and buzzing with energy. 

Another extra special touch is to hire a performer like a comedian or a magician. The possibilities with a yacht party are endless.

5 – Say, Cheese! 

Having a professional photographer is one way to up the ante. Even better if they know how to photograph on a yacht. Capture that sunset magic and prepare for outdoor elements like a light wind from the ocean breeze

6 – Signature Cocktails

Personalize your yacht party with a signature cocktail. Is there an inside joke? A fun play on words that matches your theme? A preferred drink of choice by the host? Step it up, get creative and have fun with it. Specialty cocktails are a surefire way to get your guests buzzing.

7 – Get Social

It’s so fun to see your guests having a good time – and in this day and age, there is a 99.9% chance your yacht party will end up on social media. So why not join the fun? Designate a hashtag for your event, set up a selfie station , or host a photo booth to capture those memorable moments.

How do you throw a party on a yacht?

To throw a party on a yacht, here’s a short step-by-step guide:

Step 1: Choose the yacht: Select a suitable yacht for your party. Consider the size of your guest list, the amenities available on the yacht, and the duration of your event. Ensure the yacht meets all safety requirements and has the necessary licenses.

Step 2: Set a date and time: Determine the date and time for your yacht party, keeping in mind the availability of the yacht and the convenience of your guests. Plan to ensure you secure the desired date.

Step 3: Determine the guest list: Create a guest list and send out invitations well in advance. Consider the yacht’s capacity and ensure your guest list aligns with it. Provide clear RSVP instructions to manage attendance.

Step 4: Choose a theme: Select a theme for your yacht party to add an element of excitement. Consider the preferences and interests of your guests and tailor the theme accordingly. Themes for boat parties can range from elegant and formal to fun and casual, depending on the occasion.

Step 5: Plan the menu: Decide on the type of food and beverages you want to serve. Consider the logistics of catering on a yacht, such as limited kitchen space and the need for stable serving options. Opt for easy-to-eat and well-prepared dishes that cater to different dietary preferences.

Step 6: Decorate the yacht: Enhance the ambiance by decorating the yacht to match your chosen theme. Use appropriate decorations suitable for the yacht environment and securely fasten them to withstand movement. Consider the size of the yacht and ensure decorations do not obstruct any safety equipment.

Step 7: Coordinate entertainment: Plan entertainment options to keep guests engaged throughout the party. This can include live music, a DJ, games, or hiring a professional entertainer. Consider the available space on the yacht and the preferences of your guests.

Step 8: Ensure safety: Prioritize the security of your guests by having life jackets, first aid kits, and safety equipment readily available on the yacht. Familiarize yourself with emergency procedures and communicate them to your guests.

Step 9: Communicate details: Keep your guests informed about the logistics, such as the boarding location, parking options, and any specific instructions related to the yacht party. Provide clear directions to ensure a smooth boarding process.

Step 10: Enjoy the party: On the day of the party, double-check all arrangements, including food, beverages, decorations, and entertainment. Greet your guests, ensure their comfort, and enjoy the festivities on the yacht.

Incorporating a captivating yacht party theme can take your celebrations to extraordinary heights. With careful planning, strategic decorations, and attention to detail, you can create a memorable yacht party experience that will be discussed for years.

5-Star Boat Cruises in Washington, DC

I went on a beautiful sunset cruise for a fundraiser. Saw the National Mall from the Potomac at night, it was stunning! The crew members were polite and courteous. The boat docked with a large party group before our group and you would never have known there was another group on 5 minutes before because the boat was spotless.

Wondering what to do when you have friends in town? Boomerang Cruises! After a day of museums, and typical D.C. attractions, treat yourself! On the last trip, my friends had the best time enjoying cocktails, music, and an awesome view on the Potomac. Don't forget to ask the bartenders about the "Shot Ski!" It is a game-changer. Thank me later.

I love going on the Boomerang Party Yacht. The staff is always friendly and helpful! The drinks are amazing! I would highly recommend for any event, we have been on for birthdays, going away parties, celebrations and just for a fun night out. The sunset cruises are highly recommended. Perfect views of the city and fun all around. Great way to meet new people in the area or have a fun night out in DC if you are visiting.

My twin sister and I chose the Boomerang Party Yacht to celebrate our 25th birthday! We had so much fun with our friends. It wasn't too crowded, nice views and the drinks were great. The staff was nice and funny. We had fun doing the limbo. I highly recommend the sunset cruise. Great to see DC in the evening and night. Book ahead because they do sell out!

I have been on the Boomerang Yacht's day, night, sunset, and brunch cruises with friends and it never disappoints! Great crew, bartenders, atmosphere, and views of DC. I have been in DC for almost 5 years and I always re-appreciate how great it is on these cruises- especially in the springtime. Highly recommend for anyone visiting or who lives in the area!

South Beach's Favorite Party Boat Experience

"There were 9 of us that booked Southbeach Party Boats and we had such a blast! Captain Ryan was a ton of fun! Bobby did a nice job at service recovery!! They take you around the bay and then dock at a nearby island where you can swim, drink, dance , tan and eat food! They grilled some burgers and hot dogs that were delicious!! They provide wine and beer! The plus was that you can bring your own booze on Board!! I am definitely coming back to this booze cruise when I return to South Beach!!"

"South Beach Party Boats is the way to go if you are looking for a SUPER fun experience. They played the music we wanted, had all the beer, wine and water we could ask for, they even had a beer opener! These people were prepared and you could tell they just want everyone to be happy and have a good time. Also, it was a GORGEOUS boat ride and loved seeing different parts of Miami. Even the party bus was awesome and picked us up right on time! Seriously I dont have any complaints."

"We were the first boat trip of the day and the crew was late and needed a half hour to stock the boat, that was the only bummer of the experience, loosing a half hour. The boat was so much fun and provided enough food and booze to satisfy and played awesome music! They had rafts and paddle boards to add to it. Would definitely recommend and would do it again!"

"Amazing! It was more than I ever expected It to be. I went and celebrated my birthday with a couple of friends and its absolutely one for the books. The ride was great, they allowed us to connect our own aux, and although we had other people on the boat with us we all got together and had an amazing time. Thank You South Beach Party Boats for a birthday my friends and I will never forget. I'll be sure to recommend you all to anyone and everyone I know. Thanks Again!!"

7 New Dayboats That Bring Superyacht-Style Design to the High Seas

Think of them more as day yachts., kevin koenig, kevin koenig's most recent stories.

A dayboat is exactly what it sounds like—a vessel to spend the day on before retiring to somewhere else to spend the night. Traditionally it’s a European style of boating, relegated to boats in the 30- to 50-foot range. But in the last few years, thanks to a flood of new owners, the dayboat market has seen big design changes and enormous growth—literally. The boats keep getting larger to the point where many should be rightfully be called day yachts . The trend started with the HCB Custom 65 . The boat, Estrella , was a monster center-console design, powered by six outboards totaling more than 3000 hp. That 2018 launch set a new standard for dayboats.

But the new generation of maxi-sized dayboats aren’t limited to utilitarian center consoles. The 77-foot Wajer that former quarterback Tom Brady purchased last year is a good example of a more yacht-like design, while the 115-ft. Vanquish Veloce VQ115 is an even more dramatic case.

These new designs, all with large staterooms, show how much the definition of dayboat has changed from smaller open boats. The intent of the design is now as important as the form—to maximize exterior space, and with it, the number of guests who can come on board to enjoy a day on the water. There are the usual salons, galleys and heads, but the focus is the exterior, or in most cases, the blending of the interior and exterior through large glass doors that slide and conceal to connect inside and out.

Here are seven of the largest, newest dayboats on the water today.

Vanquish VQ115 Veloce

Vanquish’s VQ115 Veloce is the largest dayboat on this list. The 115 has an aluminum hull, and with triple 2,650-horsepower MTU Rolls-Royce V16s matched to surface drives, Vanquish says it can hit speeds of 50 mph. The VQ115 has two separate tender garages: one for a VQ16 and the other a VQ11, both bearing a resemblance to the mothership. A Jacuzzi on the boat’s foredeck is sure to be a popular at anchor, while the aft cockpit connects to an open-arrangement salon via sliding glass doors. That arrangement puts the day in day yacht. A boat this size will be able to accommodate four crew members.

Scout 670 LX

Currently under build in South Carolina, the Scout 670 LX will be the largest center console ever built when it debuts at the 2024 Miami International Boat Show. With five 600-horsepower Mercury outboards, this Scout should see top speeds close to 60 mph. Three different versions of this boat will be made available, including an LXF (luxury fish), LXC (luxury cruiser), and LXS (luxury sport). The boat was designed in conjunction with superyacht design studio Harrison Eidsgaard. It will be constructed in carbon-fiber epoxy. The forepeak master will have its own en suite—a design breakthrough for vessels of this type.

When you’re the greatest quarterback of all time, and also find yourself back on the singles scene in your early 40s, what better way to re-acclimate yourself than a hot boat? And that’s exactly what Tom Brady bought for himself. The Wajer 77 is a Dutch-built dayboat with one of the most beautiful sterns in yachting. It has a 40-mph top speed and cruising range of over 400 miles. Wajer’s trademark walkaround design opens up the alfresco entertainment options onboard, meaning the boat can ferry large numbers of guests comfortably to the sandbar and back. The boat also has three staterooms, plus crew accommodations for two, as you might expect from a dayboat this large.

With an axe bow and a reverse-rake windshield, mirrored by a reverse-rake windscreen on its flybridge, the Pardo Endurance 60 conjures up the profile of a stylish workboat. But it is built for play. Its walkaround design couples with foldout terraces in the cockpit to open up the deck space for entertaining. A hydraulic swim platform aft holds a tender for easier beach access, or it can double as a beach club. The Pardo has twin 600-horspower Volvo Penta D8s matched to IPS drives, making it easy to dock and maneuver at slow speeds. The boat runs the low-to-mid-20-mph range.

Bluegame 75

Unveiled last year at the Cannes Yachting Festival, the Bluegame 75 is the first edition in a line of multihulls the Italian builder plans to release. Bluegame is known for its innovative designs, and this boat was penned in conjunction with Bernardo Zuccon and Piero Lissoni with a hullform that mimics an America’s Cup chase boat. The 75 will also be able to carry up to 56 solar panels to minimize its carbon footprint. The interior layout is intended to maximize the boat’s natural beaminess. Open arrangements the norm particularly on the lower deck, where an unorthodox salon lies at sea level, and the upper deck is fully open for social events.

Zeelander 7

The 66-foot Zeelander 7 is this Dutch yard’s new flagship. Zeelanders all have similar lines as well as high levels of fit and finish. The boat has a foldout beach club from its transom, with a generous amount of tumblehome. A four-stool bar at the bulwark separating the cockpit and salon complements a dining settee in the aft section of the cockpit. The boat’s fully enclosed salon has nearly 360-degree worth of windows. This boat can reach 40 mph at top end.

From Brazil comes the Okean 80, a boat clearly built for a party. Like its smaller sisters, the builder’s flagship has foldout terraces to port and starboard on its main deck. Also on the main deck is a pane of smart glass between the helm and salon that can become see-through or opaque at the touch of a button. Up top, the 80’s flybridge features a wetbar and modular furniture. A beach club at the hydraulic swim platform is partially recessed into the transom for shade, a design trait which adds a sense of gravitas to the space.

What to Wear to a Yacht Party – Your Dress Code Guide!

Dressing for a boat party is different than any other kind of event. While you have good times, you need to look great and most importantly, feel comfortable in your clothing. Also, you need to take some safety precautions into consideration as boats have unpredictable movements. After all, you want to have an exceptional time! Most yacht events take place in the summer, so you need to dress accordingly to the weather. What will be your event about? A Day party? A night party? In this article, you will find out exactly what to wear to a yacht party.

Table of Contents

Most parties are held during the day. You will probably spend most of your time enjoying dancing on the deck with a cocktail in your hand or swimming in the water, so you need an attire comfortable to wear and easy to pull on/off!

• Choose a swimsuit or a bikini to wear under your clothes. Make sure to pick a color that suits your attire.
• A flowy dress, short skirt, airy beach pants, or a short over your swimsuit will be perfect for this kind of party. You can also match them with a summary layer or a loose blouse.
• As for the shoes, flat sandals with soft soles will get you out of trouble. High heels are an absolute no-no as they are not safe on a boat and can scratch the deck.

Accessories

• You should be wearing sunglasses during the day, but not just any, you need polarized sunglasses to protect 100% your eyes from the UV rays of the sun
• Try to store your stuff like sunglasses, makeup, and hair clips in a waterproof handbag. It could be useful if it gets wet!
• Makeup Use only waterproof makeup during the day
• Opt for a tight swimsuit if you plan to wear it under your cloth. Otherwise, there are stylish good looking swimwears that look more like dress shorts, which you can match with loose shirts and a light jacket
• The most appropriate clothes for men are loose pants, boating shorts , and jean shorts assorted with light shirts, or polo and a loose vest.
• Avoid flip-flops and opt for nonmarking boating shoes , like Sperry. These come in a wide variety of styles to choose from and will match any outfit. With these shoes, you can walk in complete tranquility without worrying about hurting your feet or slipping on the wet deck.
• Opt only for a waterproof watch if you intend to wear one. You don’t want to bother taking it off, and on each time you go for a swim.
• As mentioned for women above, the same concept applies to men. A good pair of polarized sunglasses is a must!

Night Party

In the evening, you can still wear casual clothes but a bit more dressy. The thin, soft, and flowy textile is more appropriate for night parties. Bring a light jacket with you. It gets cooler in the evening.

• Princess waist dresses, skirt with flounces, loose pants assorted with dressy tops are the perfect choices. A chic option will be to wear a color-coordinated wrap or a jacket. A long dress harmonized with a nice pair of chandelier earrings is a great option if you opt to dress chicly
• Here, again, avoid high heels. Flats and low-heeled sandals will be perfect and will suit any outfit.
• Men should wear comfortable pants with a dress shirt or even a polo, and a light jacket on top.
• I will say it again, the best shoes to wear on a boat is Sperry, but hey, this is your party, you can pick any other type of boat shoes as long as they are non-marking.
• Girls, even if high heels elongate your legs and make you more attractive. It is preferable to avoid wearing them on a boat. Opt for boating shoes !
• Mosquitoes love humidity, especially in the late afternoon. You should bring a repellent with you. You Never know.
• Try to use only waterproof accessories
• The sun beat down during the day, bring sunscreen and wear long sleeves to protect you from the sun
• You can wear long dresses but not too long to avoid tripping.
• If you are unsure about the type of party, ask the person that organizes the event on the yacht what is and not appropriate.
• It’s easy to get dehydrated on a yacht because you don’t feel the sun as you are most of the time in the water or on the deck and at sea, there are always winds. PS, wear a hat and drink a lot of water!

Final Words!

Now that you know how to dress for a day and night party on a yacht, all you need to do is have a good time!

8 thoughts on “What to Wear to a Yacht Party – Your Dress Code Guide!”

I have a yacht party to go to and I really needed this guide to make sure that I will take whatever I need. It is really easy to forget a few things and later regret once you reach the party. However, in the evening yacht parties, is it okay to wear heels?

Oh, that’s great, I am sure you’ll have fun!

Yes, I agree with you, it is easy to forget things. This is why it is important to write down what you need before you go:) Once you are on the boat, you cannot go back unless you live nearby.

You cannot wear high heels on a boat, there are few reasons to this. It is not comfortable, not safety and it can damage the deck:) You wouldn’t want this happen.

Thank you for the comment and wish you to have unforgettable moments on the yacht party!

Have a wonderful day!

Hi Daniella, I really like that you divided your article into parts like what to wear in the day or in night! And that you pay attention to both men and women is great, too! often, there are only guides for women. Keep going on as active as you are! Your website is catchy!

Thank you for the kind comment, I really appreciate:) Whats women without men and whats men without women? We can’t live without each other:), Have a wonderful day!

I have been on a yacht for a dinner party sailing in heels! It was a bit troublesome especially going up and down stairs.

Is this post geared toward Northeast US or somewhere else in the world? Here in Florida, it is absolutely okay to wear flip flops to a day yacht party as long as they aren’t cheap! Sperry’s or other boat shoes are acceptable at night for men if the rest of the outfit is semi-casual.

Thank you for the comment:)

Yes, this article concerns everyone. No matter the country. Of course, you can wear flip flops , you can even go barefoot if you wish to, but the risk of hurting your feet or slipping on the deck is much higher. Most charter companies require wearing boat shoes because if something happens and someone didn’t follow the guideline, then the company or the owner of the boat will not be covered by their assurance.

However, Sperry’ shoes are the most recommended on boats as they are comfortable and stylish.

But, again, as long as it is non-marking shoes, you are good to go!

I like how you said that the most appropriate clothes for men are loose pants. My wife and I are planning to go on a trip and we have no idea what to wear. I will definitely share this article with my wife to give her ideas of what to wear in case we go to a boat party.

Hi Dereck, This would be a great idea! I am sure your wife will find something nice to wear:) Thank you for the comment and wish you a lovely day!
