Our top recommendations to plan the perfect yacht party, whether it is a corporate or private yacht charter.

Yacht parties are the ultimate fun experience. Whether it is for a corporate or private event, launching a yacht party is a guaranteed way to amaze your guests. Careful planning and timing on your side are key elements to your yacht event's success. So, the question comes easy, how to plan the perfect yacht party?

1. The guest list - for the perfect yacht to charter.

Making an accurate guest list before searching for the most suitable yacht for your private event onboard is key. Yachts have a limited number of guests they allow on board, generally 12 guests is the maximum number allowed on most charter yachts if the yacht is navigating. However, these same yachts have a much larger number of guests allowed onboard if the event is a quay-side event. Meaning that the yacht won't leave the port during the whole duration of your event. 


The guest list is also important to help you define whether your targeted guests are more of a daytime party lovers or nighttime ones. The general rule, from what we have seen in recent years planning exclusive events on board, is that daytime parties on a yacht luxury charter are for informal parties among friends mostly or employees incentive trips. While nighttime parties on a yacht are generally for more exclusive corporate and business events.

2. Technology for entertainment - speakers & lights.

What is a party without the perfect quality sound system and turning on the right lights at the right time. Technology is a key element to entertain your guests. While each yacht has its own set of amenities, sometimes it might be necessary to rent additional equipment or competent staff to deal with installing additional speakers or even VR on board. Some useful tips are: 


  • Use the pool as a space to gather guests and maybe set the DJ booth there, if the space on board allows it.


  • Ask for the amenities list of the yacht. 


  • Has the yacht you are looking to charter ever hosted a party on board before? Depending on your budget, some famous charter super yachts have hosted parties multiple times, so it would be a good idea to charter one that has already created this unique experience for their charterers.

3. Space to dance, move and have fun.

Once you have made up your mind to throw a yacht party, you will have to select the right type of yacht for your number of guests, destination and kind of party you expect. If you have a large number of guests, an alternative solution to choosing one single yacht for charter is chartering multiple yachts and anchoring them close-by. Our recommendation for this option is to consider how fit are the guests taking part to the yacht party, because in most cases guests start to jump from one yacht to the other there may be a risk of ending up in the sea :) 


If you prefer to have a more intimate party, you might prefer to have all of your guests on one deck only. In this case, a large catamaran or super yacht party would be the best option.


Special occasions such as a particular birthday or celebrating a milestone in your start-up or scale-up definitely deserve a unique celebration on a yacht.
