Taylar, November 2023

We got married on Yacht Starship IV out of Clearwater Beach and our wedding day was absolutely incredible. Everything went so perfect and smooth. Joey, our venue coordinator, was phenomenal down to every detail and keeping things running smoothly. We can’t thank him enough for taking care of us on our day. The other staff and Dj Pharaoh were also incredible. We have heard from family and friends that it was one of the best weddings they have ever been to! We cannot thank them enough for making it so special for us. 

Marczak Wedding, June 2023

We wanted a unique all in one ceremony and reception, we were exploring downtown when we came across yacht starship we looked at each other and thought “how cool would it be to get married on the water”. From the moment we contacted the boat for a meeting it was a amazing experience. We first met with Chris D to talk about the details, guest count, date and our vision once that was in place and contract was signed 3 month out we were contacted by Joey O (our day of coordinator). We scheduled an in person meeting to walk through the yacht and decide seating arrangements and table placements and talk time line. Every time I reached out with a question or concern I had an answer right away. Honestly this takes the stress out of wedding planning they were so helpful with everything. We were able to do a rehearsal the day before on our boat as well as bring on any décor that we would need to have set up & Joey made sure it was done and reflected our vision. Our wedding was Friday, June 16th and was flawless. We are still getting compliments on the amazing food and service by the waitstaff. A huge THANK YOU to Chris D and Joey O for helping us plan & pull off a flawless wedding. Mr. & Mrs. Marczak

Sleigher Wedding, May 2023

If you want a wedding venue, this is it! Our wedding couldn’t have been more perfect. Everyone on staff was incredible, the food is so good and everything was super efficient.

Kate, April 2023

This couldn’t have been better for our rehearsal dinner! The cruise was perfect for our out of state guests. They got to experience being out on the water, and getting to see Tampa. The staff was so wonderful, and Wendy was so prompt and helpful with all of our emails. Couldn’t recommend Yacht Starship enough!

Amanda, May 2023

We would definitely recommend The Yacht Starship for your wedding. The wedding coordinator Joey was absolutely fantastic! He made sure everyone was taken care of! Starship truly did everything for us and planning was a breeze. A lot of things we didn’t have to worry about and the things they weren’t able to provide like a photographer they had an amazing list of recommendations. We truly want to thank starship and we will definitely be back on their dinner cruises.

Sidney, March 2023

Yacht Starship IV was an absolute DREAM wedding! From the coordinator (Amelia – amazing), staff, food, timing, location… It was exactly what I had pictured for our wedding! The DJ, captain, coordinator, and staff were so accommodating to everything I asked and made sure we were taken care of. We got married in March with perfect weather. Ceremony, first dances, and all our reception dancing took place on the top deck – so fun!

Judy, March 2023

I can’t say enough amazing things about the Yacht Starship! Our gorgeous Yacht was Starship II. We worked with Wendy Odom & Eric Abril both were so accommodating, answered every question and concern with the utmost professionalism! Always helpful !! The wedding went smooth as silk, we were guided every step of the way. Talk about attentive, the entire staff was exceptional! Anything we needed wanted or desired was foreseen by a staff member and delivered before we even asked! We had a sit down dinner for the reception. We chose steak, chicken or salmon everyone said their food was delicious! The DJ was great. Highly recommend this venue!

Getting Married on a Luxury Yacht Charter

When combined with a full-service crew and exceptional cuisine, you can relax knowing that the attention to detail on board during your yacht wedding will be exceptional. Bespoke Yacht Charter has access to a large range of luxury charter yachts that are perfect for ensuring your luxurious yacht wedding is memorable for all the right reasons.

Benefits of hosting your wedding on a yacht:

• Adaptability for guest numbers – we can provide luxury yacht options from 25–100 metres to fit with your guest list.
• A complete yacht venue for the wedding ceremony and reception.
• Five-star cuisine and luxurious tailored wedding menus catered to your exact preferences.
• Yacht crew with impeccable service standards.
• Flexibility with location – cruise the coastline, quiet anchorages or vibrant ports.
• Pre or post-wedding accommodation on board the yacht for the wedding party.
• A luxurious wedding venue and truly memorable experience for your wedding guests.

Please note that most charter yachts are only legally allowed to cruise with a maximum of 12 guests on board. However, Bespoke Yacht Charter has a selection of yachts available to charter for weddings for groups of up to 100 people at sea.

The 3 most crucial steps for Wedding Planning on a Luxury Yacht

• The first step should be determining what constitutes a legal marriage in your country of residence.
• Secondly, it’s crucial to research the legalities of marriage in the country where you will charter the yacht (the country you choose to marry in), especially if one or both of the couple is non-resident. This includes paperwork required, time frames and the procedure for marrying.

For example, in France you must have a civil ceremony at the Mairie (Town Hall) first, after which you can have a religious or secular ceremony anywhere you choose. Paperwork must be translated for non-French issued documents.

• Finally, combine the rules from both steps above to ensure whatever you plan meets all legal requirements.

Consult Your Personal Yacht Charter Broker

Choosing a charter yacht that suits your needs for your wedding can be daunting and a challenge for the unexperienced, so we strongly recommend consulting a yacht charter broker who has unrivalled knowledge about the specifications of each yacht in the charter fleet, crew insight and availability. Your broker will know which yachts will work for your wedding.

It’s important you choose a yacht charter company who is as excited about your wedding yacht charter as you are – this is your big day! If the company – and broker – are enthusiastic then they will source the perfect yacht and crew that will make your yacht wedding a memorable occasion.

A luxury yacht charter for a wedding comprises many elements beyond just food, décor, crew and a venue. Don’t hesitate to ask your yacht charter broker any questions around fuel, ports, taxes, yacht delivery fees and cancellation policies.

Your Wedding Day on a Luxury Yacht

It goes without saying that Bespoke Yacht Charter will bend over backwards to fulfil your wedding yacht charter expectations.

Hosting your wedding on a luxury yacht has several advantages, including the unique sense of adventure and exclusivity that being on a yacht provides. It is an opportunity to make your special day unforgettable for your guests.

Imagine getting married and then sailing off into the sunset to celebrate your wedding day with your loved ones. Luxury yachts are extremely versatile and make for the perfect wedding venue. When choosing a yacht for your wedding, treat it like you would any traditional wedding venue by ensuring it can accommodate your needs. Then, let your heart guide you to the dream location to hold your yacht wedding.

Plan Your Perfect Wedding on a Boat

Getting married on land isn’t the only way to get hitched.

When we plan weddings, we are looking for absolute perfection. We are careful in choosing the destination, the venue, and the seating chart. Gardens and patios decorated with beautiful flower arrangements look amazing but if you want something more unique, you should have your wedding on a boat. Because as it turns out, getting married on the water is awesome! The overall impression of a wedding on a yacht charter is remarkable and at Boatsetter , we know you will cherish the memories forever. If you can have it all, why not set the date and have the most important event in your life on a yacht or a sailboat? So bring the reverend and don’t forget the rings, cause it’s time to get hitched!  

The Adventurous Wedding Destination 

Getting married on a boat can be far from regular and that’s the surprise element that everyone wants to achieve. People are used to regular weddings in great halls or gardens, but planning a wedding on a boat can bring excitement and adventure. Your guests will enjoy the breeze, beautiful sunset in the evening, and the magical moments under the starlight. You can even choose to say, “yes” at sunset on the deck, while orange sunlight covers you and your partner. 

The Wedding Ceremony and the Reception On the Boat

Some people choose to perform only a wedding reception on the boat. Apart from being very sophisticated, it can also be well received by the guests. They would all have to come at the marked time since the boat is set to raise sails. After the wedding ceremony family and friends are welcomed to enjoy the music since both the band and the DJ are allowed on a boat as your guests. Amongst the music, you can have an exquisite dinner, and enjoy the view over the subtle waves. 

Boats You can Rent for Your Wedding Reception

If you are worried that you won’t have enough space on your boat for your wedding, you don’t have to be when you hop aboard a Boatsetter boat . There are various types of wedding boat rentals, and you can choose between a yacht, a sailboat for an intimate wedding, or a catamaran which is a great option for larger receptions. If you prefer an intimate wedding or having just a couple of people onboard, you can choose either a small yacht or a sailboat. It will fulfill the scenario you wanted and you will keep the intimacy alive. Should you decide on a slightly bigger wedding, then a catamaran is spacious enough to host even large wedding parties. We guarantee that the impressions are strong, whatever your choice is.

The Perfect Wedding Photos on a Boat

Even if we don’t want to admit, we all want the perfect wedding photos. After all, you probably plan to show these to your kids and even grandchildren someday. Those will be lifelong memories, so imagine all the beautiful pictures you can take from a rented wedding boat. You will find the blue sky, warm sunlight, and the sunshine on the faces of happy guests during the day in your pictures. After all, when you get married on a boat, the atmosphere is genuinely incredible and it is definitely an option you have to consider when planning your wedding. So hop aboard, and get hitched on your Boatsetter boat rental !

Water You Waiting For?

You make the memories. We make the arrangements.

How to Get Married on the Water

Expert tips for setting sail to tie the knot.

If you and your partner love being on the water, then hosting your wedding on a boat may be your dream scenario. This is a unique option for those who love sailing or cruising, or simply want the ultimate venue to fit a nautical theme. Not to mention, the photos of open water views with cityscapes or tropical islands in the distance are sure to be stunning. But if you’re thinking of setting sail on open waters for a wedding ceremony, reception, or both, some additional, specific planning is required.

Planning for a wedding on the water not only means working within the restraints of the specific vessel you want, but it also means taking Mother Nature and changing weather conditions into consideration. Here, we consult expert planners to learn tips, tricks, and the most important things to consider before you set sail and tie the knot.

Consider Time, Location, and Weather

Whether you’re choosing to charter a boat, planning a yacht party, or hosting a wedding reception on a cruise ship, time, location, and weather are important factors to consider. “Weather can have a huge impact on a waterfront or boating event and can change the guest experience and comforts quickly,” says Nick and Aleah Valley, owners of Valley & Company Events .

In your planning, be sure to check on where you’ll be leaving from and what the weather may look like that day. “Many coastal areas have zones where gale force winds can appear quickly and unexpectedly. Having a backup plan for wind and chilly temperatures is imperative,” adds the Valleys. “If it's too windy, some boats or yachts can't sail, which could mean your event is docked or canceled completely until conditions improve.”

Meet the Expert

Nick and Aleah Valley are the founders of Valley & Company Events , an event and wedding planning company based in Seattle, Washington.

Boat Options for Getting Married on the Water

Getting married on a boat can come in a variety of different shapes and sizes. Depending on your guest list and wedding vision, one option may be better than the others. Pricing will vary greatly, depending on the size of the boat, the style, and the region where you’re booking. Yacht and charter boat weddings may only require a fee for use of the vessel, while a cruise ship wedding requires paying for the cruise , along with fees specific to your wedding.

Tips for Yacht Weddings

A wedding reception on a yacht provides the ultimate view for a great celebration! You can choose to either host your ceremony elsewhere and then board the boat, or plan for both your ceremony and reception on the water.

To find the ideal yacht for your wedding, think about guest list size first. “Keep in mind that many states have maritime regulations prohibiting the rental of yachts for events or guest counts past a certain number,” says Nick and Aleah Valley. “Contacting the local maritime office is a good place to start for suggestions on how to charter a yacht. They may have recommendations for finding a yacht unless you have your own or have a connection to one.”

Once you know that your guest list count is in line with area regulations for a yacht, it’s crucial to consider space to guest ratio as well. Are there enough restrooms to accommodate your group? Is there enough elbow room to allow for a great guest experience?

You’ll also want to check if the yacht has appropriate kitchen facilities for your culinary team to create the perfect menu for your reception, along with space for other necessary rentals.

Tips for Charter Boat Weddings

If you’re hoping to charter a boat for your wedding, keeping size in mind is crucial here, too. Be sure to choose a boat that can accommodate your guest list and your specific needs. It's also important to double-check that the boat you plan to charter will fit the aesthetic and type of reception you're hoping for.

If you’re chartering a boat, insurance will also be required. “Talk to your insurance carrier about your personal policy and what the needs are to cover the event, the boat owner, and your guests,” says Nick and Aleah Valley.

It’s also important to consider the timing when chartering a boat. “Most charter boats have a very specific timeframe for when they can depart a port or marina, whether it's based on tides, locks, or marina rules, so this can dictate your event timeline,” says Nick and Aleah Valley. They suggest building a buffer into your day-of timeline so guests arrive and board the boat at least 45 minutes before your scheduled departure time. This will give guests time to get settled on the boat, and you can welcome them with happy hour drinks and snacks to kick off the celebration.

Tips for Cruise Weddings

Planning a ceremony or a wedding reception on a cruise ship means you’re on a much bigger boat. Typically, that also means there may be other guests onboard that aren’t part of your wedding. If privacy is important to you, be sure to ask the cruise ship’s planning team what your ceremony or reception space will look like, and what your options are for keeping it private.

Depending on the cruise, you may not be able to get married on open water at all. Legally, you may be required to choose to either celebrate your nuptials before the ship departs, or you can choose to say “I do” at the port of one of the cruise’s destinations. Working with the right planner will ensure you’re following the proper legal guidance for a cruise wedding or cruise wedding reception.

“Keep in mind the guest experience and the logistics of what can take place on a cruise,” suggests Nick and Aleah Valley. It’s important to check if you can have events at your leisure, or if you will have to stick to the cruise ship’s strict timeline and events.

How to Keep Guests Comfortable on the Water

While a boat wedding may be dreamy for you and your partner, especially if you’re used to being on the water, it may be tricky for some of your guests.

“ Seasickness can happen quickly, especially when guests are drinking,” says Nick and Aleah Valley. “Have a solid plan, and if you have an opportunity, pass out seasickness patches to your guests the day before your event so they can be prepared for being on the boat.”

Consider putting together welcome bags that might include bug spray, water bottles, sunglasses, and sunscreen. Another helpful option? Put out a big basket of hats and fans, along with a well-stocked station of snacks and water. It’s important that guests stay hydrated to avoid heat exhaustion.  

Questions to Ask Before Booking a Boat for Your Wedding

• Will there be enough space for our guest list?
• Is there air conditioning on board?
• Is there a maintenance crew that can assist with potential mechanical issues?
• What is the galley kitchen’s capacity for creating a meal?
• Is there a refrigerated place to store our cake? Will it fit?
• Can we incorporate our own décor?
• How many life preservers are on board?
• Is there a specific timeline we need to follow?
• What insurance is required for use?

After ironing these questions out, you'll be ready to sail off into the sunset as a married couple!

Every detail, from the carefully chosen decor to the impeccable service, is designed to create a setting that is nothing short of extraordinary. So if you are ready to make your wedding day an affair to remember, join us as we explore the world of weddings on yachts – where luxury and love come together in perfect harmony.

Choosing the Perfect Yacht for Your Wedding

You’ll be amazed as you step onto the deck of your dream yacht, feeling the gentle sway of the ocean beneath you, while envisioning the perfect setting for your luxury wedding.

Choosing the perfect yacht for your wedding is a decision that requires careful consideration and attention to detail. The yacht selection process can be an exciting one, as you explore the various options available to you. From sleek and modern vessels to classic and elegant yachts, there is a wide range of choices to suit your taste and style.

When selecting a yacht for your wedding, it’s important to take budget considerations into account. Yachts come in all shapes and sizes, and their rental prices can vary greatly. Determine your budget early on and work with a reputable yacht charter company to find the best options within your price range. Consider the number of guests you plan to invite and the amenities you desire. Some yachts offer luxurious features such as onboard spas, gourmet catering, and even helipads. Balancing your budget with your desired level of luxury will ensure you find the perfect yacht for your dream wedding .

As you embark on the journey of choosing the perfect yacht for your wedding, remember to keep your vision in mind. Picture yourself exchanging vows against the backdrop of a stunning sunset, surrounded by the beauty of the open sea. Consider the atmosphere you want to create for your guests and how the yacht’s design and layout can enhance that experience.

With careful planning and consideration, you can find the ideal yacht that will make your luxury wedding a truly unforgettable experience.

Creating a Stunning Oceanic Atmosphere

Immerse yourself in a captivating oceanic ambiance that will transport you to another world. When it comes to creating a stunning atmosphere for your yacht wedding, ocean-inspired decor is the key.

Imagine stepping on board and being greeted by soft hues of blues and greens, evoking the calming presence of the sea. Adorn the tables with seashell centerpieces, coral accents, and elegant driftwood decorations. Hang white curtains that gently sway with the ocean breeze, creating a dreamy and ethereal feel. Every detail, from the table settings to the lighting, should reflect the beauty and tranquility of the ocean.

To truly enhance the oceanic atmosphere, consider incorporating nautical-themed entertainment into your wedding. Hire a live band or DJ that specializes in playing smooth jazz or soft acoustic tunes, reminiscent of the sound of the waves crashing on the shore. Arrange for a mesmerizing fire dance performance, where flames dance in sync with the rhythm of the music, creating a spectacle that will leave your guests in awe. You could even have a professional mermaid make an appearance, enchanting everyone with her graceful swimming and mystical presence. These unique and captivating entertainment choices will elevate your yacht wedding to a whole new level of elegance and sophistication.

As the sun sets and the stars begin to twinkle in the night sky, the oceanic atmosphere of your yacht wedding will truly come alive. Soft, ambient lighting will cast a warm glow on the deck, creating a romantic and intimate setting. Hang twinkling fairy lights overhead, creating a magical and enchanting ambiance. Provide cozy blankets and cushions for your guests to lounge on, allowing them to relax and enjoy the breathtaking view of the open sea.

With the perfect combination of ocean-inspired decor and nautical-themed entertainment, your yacht wedding will be a truly unforgettable experience that will transport you and your guests to a world of luxury and elegance.

Customizing Your Yacht Wedding Experience

Transforming your nuptials into an extraordinary event, customize every aspect of your yacht wedding experience.

Personalized decorations add a touch of elegance and uniqueness to your special day. From floral arrangements that match your color scheme to custom-designed table settings, every detail can be tailored to reflect your personal style.

Imagine walking down the aisle surrounded by a breathtaking display of flowers and decorations that are specifically chosen to create the ambiance you desire.

To make your yacht wedding experience truly unforgettable, consider incorporating unique entertainment options. A live band or DJ can provide an energetic atmosphere and keep your guests dancing all night long. For a more intimate setting, you could hire a solo musician or string quartet to serenade you and your loved ones. If you’re looking for something different, why not surprise your guests with a firework display or a performance by professional dancers? The possibilities are endless, and by customizing your entertainment, you can create an experience that’s tailored to your taste and preferences.

In addition to personalized decorations and unique entertainment, don’t forget to consider other aspects of your yacht wedding experience that can be customized. From the menu to the seating arrangement, every detail can be personalized to create a truly unique and memorable event. Work closely with your wedding planner or yacht charter company to ensure that every aspect of your wedding reflects your vision.

By customizing your yacht wedding experience, you can create a day that’s not only luxurious but also a true reflection of your love story.

Planning for Seamless Logistics and Coordination

To ensure a flawless and stress-free experience, it’s crucial to carefully plan and coordinate the logistics of your dream yacht celebration. When it comes to seating arrangements, it’s important to consider the comfort and preferences of your guests. Work closely with your wedding planner or event coordinator to create a seating plan that not only accommodates everyone but also allows for easy navigation and mingling.

Whether you opt for round tables or long banquet-style seating, make sure to communicate any special requests or dietary restrictions to the catering team in advance, ensuring a seamless dining experience for all.

Transportation logistics are another key aspect to consider when planning your yacht wedding. With the venue floating on the water, it’s essential to arrange for convenient and efficient transportation to and from the yacht. Coordinate with a reputable transportation company to provide shuttle services for your guests, ensuring everyone arrives and departs in a timely manner.

Additionally, for any vendors or staff involved in your wedding, make sure to plan their transportation as well, ensuring they have easy access to the yacht and can set up and dismantle their equipment without any disruptions.

By meticulously planning and coordinating the seating arrangements and transportation logistics, you can ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for both you and your guests. Pay attention to the small details and communicate your preferences clearly with your wedding planner or event coordinator. With everything in place, you can relax and fully immerse yourself in the luxury and elegance of your yacht wedding celebration.

Capturing Unforgettable Memories at Sea

Capture memories that will last a lifetime by hiring a professional photographer or videographer to document your unforgettable moments at sea.

A wedding on a yacht offers a unique and breathtaking backdrop for your special day, and it’s essential to have someone skilled in capturing the beauty of the ocean, the stunning views, and the joyous atmosphere.

A professional photographer or videographer will ensure that every precious moment is preserved, from the exchange of vows against the backdrop of the sparkling sea to the laughter and celebration shared with family and friends.

To add depth and complexity to your wedding memories, consider incorporating maritime decor. Imagine being surrounded by nautical elements that enhance the romantic ambiance of your special day.

You could have elegant seashell centerpieces, soft blue and white linens, and tasteful nods to the sea in your table settings. These maritime touches will not only create a sophisticated and elegant atmosphere but also provide unique opportunities for stunning photographs that will transport you back to the magic of your yacht wedding.

With a professional photographer or videographer and maritime decor, you can rest assured that your wedding memories will be nothing short of extraordinary.

From the breathtaking views captured in each photograph to the carefully curated maritime details, every aspect of your wedding on a yacht will be beautifully documented. These memories will serve as a reminder of your love and the incredible experience you shared with your loved ones. So, embrace the elegance of a yacht wedding and let these captured moments at sea become treasured mementos of your special day.

Ensuring Guest Comfort and Entertainment

Guarantee your guests a truly unforgettable experience by providing them with luxurious amenities and entertainment options that will leave them feeling pampered and delighted throughout the entire event.

When it comes to guest accommodations, a wedding on a yacht offers unparalleled luxury. Imagine your guests stepping on board to find elegantly appointed cabins, complete with plush bedding, exquisite furnishings, and stunning views of the sea. Each cabin is designed to provide the utmost comfort and privacy, ensuring that your guests have a peaceful and restful stay on the yacht.

Not only will your guests be treated to luxurious accommodations, but they will also have access to a wide range of onboard entertainment options.

The yacht’s entertainment facilities are equipped with state-of-the-art sound systems and lighting, creating a vibrant and energetic atmosphere that’s perfect for dancing the night away.

In addition to the music and dancing, your guests can also enjoy a variety of other entertainment options. They can take a dip in the onboard swimming pool, relax in the jacuzzi, or even try their luck at the yacht’s casino. For those who prefer a more laid-back experience, there are cozy lounges and bars where they can socialize and enjoy a refreshing cocktail.

EU slaps sanctions on Russian justice officials blamed for jailing Alexei Navalny

• Show more sharing options
• Copy Link URL Copied!

The European Union on Friday imposed sanctions on the Russian justice and prison officials responsible for imprisoning opposition leader Alexei Navalny before his death last month.

“Alexei Navalny’s slow killing by the Kremlin regime is a stark reminder of its utter disregard for human life,” EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said in a statement announcing the move.

Borrell said the sanctions, which target 33 officials and two prisons and involve asset freezes and travel bans, “demonstrate our determination to hold Russia’s political leadership and authorities to account for the continuing violation of the human rights in Russia.”

Navalny, the most persistent foe of President Vladimir Putin , was serving a 19-year sentence when he died. He had been behind bars since January 2021 after returning to Russia from Germany where he had been recovering from nerve-agent poisoning that he blamed on the Kremlin.

The cause of his Feb. 16 death has been described by officials only as due to natural causes.

The EU said that its measures would hit the IK-6 corrective colony and IK-3 maximum security corrective colony, including the official in charge Vadim Kalinin, where Navalny had been held before his death.

“Both colonies are known for exerting physical and psychological pressure, full isolation, torture and violence on prisoners. In both places Mr. Navalny suffered abuses, including through repeated solitary confinement in a punishment cell and cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment, leading to the severe deterioration of his health,” it said.

Justice officials targeted by the EU measures include Andrey Suvorov, who last year sentenced Navalny to 19 years in a special regime colony, and Kirill Nikiforov, who rejected Navalny’s lawsuit against IK-6 to appeal his transfer to a punishment cell for 12 days. It’s unclear whether the officials traveled to or through EU countries or had significant assets in Europe.
