Are you planning on holding an event or a celebration? Holding it in a yacht is probably a good idea, because who doesn’t want to party on a yacht? But, the planning and procedure you need to do for a yacht party are easier said than done.
It would be best if you considered a lot of things for a yacht party. Moreover, as an organizer, you will be responsible for everything that will happen on the yacht, such as your guests’ safety. No matter what the event is, you can enjoy it while riding a luxury yacht, especially if you’re celebrating with friends and family.
This makes it a better option if you don’t want to celebrate on a grand scale, and you want to limit your guest list. If you want your yacht party to be more exciting and lively, here are a few tips you can follow to make this yacht party one of the best parties you ever had.
Selecting the Right Yacht
Many banks and alternative lenders out there have loan products tailored specifically for boats, which makes it more convenient if you’re looking to apply for a boat loan. However, finding the right yacht that will suit your needs is complicated, especially if you don’t know the specifics of your party yet.
If you already have a fleet to choose from, you have to pick the right one for the party. You can choose to be modern in your yacht of choice by using the newer models that are more stylish and have many features than old ones. However, if you feel a little bit classy, you can always choose a restored vintage yacht to be used again.
However, many people who feel like going for vintage yachts sometimes pick yachts that are already dry-docked for several years. Never go for yachts that are already dry docked for a long time since they’re dangerous for you and your guests. They will also fail to create the right atmosphere for your party.
Theme
You can decide what theme your party would be before choosing the right yacht. But sometimes, you’ll struggle to find what theme you would want for your party. If you have this problem, the internet can help you decide on a theme.
The party’s theme can be anything you want, as long as your guests will not have a hard time fitting into it. Once you have decided on the theme, you can inform the guests via invitations. Not only that, but you can also choose what kind of designs and decorations you will have on your yacht.
One thing you can do about enhancing the theme of your party is music. Most yacht parties typically have this bohemian feel, like it’s centered around Coachella. If you want to have a Coachella theme on your yacht party, what music is more appropriate than yacht rock?
Now, yacht rock has been around for decades and has been a staple music genre whenever you’re in a boat. Thus, it is also best to let it play in the background for your party to enhance that relaxing vibe. Many yacht rock songs are famous during its reign, but what makes a song a yacht rock song? Easy! Just ask yourself, “can I sail to this?”
Yes, it’s kind of ridiculous, I know. But that is actually how fans of the genre know if a certain song can be called yacht rock.
Pick the Location
Probably the most exciting aspect of holding a party on a yacht is the ability to go anywhere you like. You, together with your guests, can get to a lot of scenic routes and beautiful ports near you. You can also use the yacht to pick up your guests and sail off into the sunset for a more dramatic effect.
The choice of destination is yours. However, you should always consider if your guests are willing and comfortable to sail off long distances for the party. Moreover, you should also have enough provisions and entertainment onboard so they won’t be bored during the trip.
Also, take note of when you’re going to hold the party. If you have decided on the party’s date, you should check if the weather on that date will be fine. This is especially true to the destination where you’re going. It might be sunny on the date of the party, but if you’re planning to travel together with your guests, you better check the weather of your destination.
Food
Food is an essential thing an organizer should focus on at a party. The food you will be serving the guests will leave a significant mark on their memories, so creating the best menu is the key for them not to forget your party any time sooner. However, don’t be too extravagant on your food choices, especially if you’re on a budget. You can make it simple yet delicious, as long as you think the guests will like it.
Remember that creating the tastiest but healthiest menu is the craze, not only in restaurants but also in parties. Make sure that the food is enough for you and your guests. Running out of food in the middle of the party is one of the most embarrassing moments you can have as an organizer. Make sure that there is always a steady supply of food at any time of the day.
Find Reliable Staff
Without staff to support you with your decorations, especially with serving the food, you will have difficulty making the guests happy because of the things you need to do onboard. That said, finding reliable staff is vital if you want your party to be afloat (pun not intended).
Takeaway
Planning a yacht party is no easy task. There are a lot of things that you should consider before sailing out for a celebration. Unlike a typical party inland, the party will always be on the move and away from land, so provisions should always be checked. But if you manage all these things correctly, you’ll surely have a successful yacht party that everyone will never forget.
