Wedding Yacht Charters 

Wedding yacht charters are one of the most romantic and beautiful locations for your special day.  With sunsets and the sound of the sea as a backdrop aboard a luxury yacht you will create a memory that will last a lifetime.  Your ceremony could be small and intimate with just the two of you on a small yacht or you could host up to 500 guests on a large one.  Most of these yachts employ some of the finest chefs in the world and you can be assured of gourmet quality food for your guests.

Location, Location, Location

There are many parts of the world where wedding yacht charters are available.  From the East coast to the West coast of the U.S. to a far off tropical island the choices are literally endless.  It depends on how much time you have and what your budget is.  There are wedding yacht charters on the San Francisco Bay and off the coast of Miami. 

Time is of the Essence

Wedding yacht charters can be hired for 2 to 3 hours or for one or more weeks at a time.  You could get married by the captain of the yacht, have your ceremony and reception onboard, then, after a couple of hours, fly off to some other location for your honeymoon.  Another option would be to step aboard a custom built and beautifully appointed yacht with your family and a few close friends and sail off to a secluded island. You could go ashore and have your marriage ceremony performed on the sand then return to the ship to enjoy your wedding reception.  Your guests could stay aboard as you sail around the island and possibly visit other nearby islands for your honeymoon.
