Getting married on a luxury yacht charter

Bespoke Yacht Charter have access to a large range of luxury charter yachts that are perfect for ensuring your yacht wedding is memorable for all the right reasons.

Benefits of hosting a wedding on a yacht:

  • Adaptability for guest numbers – we can provide wedding 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 tailored wedding menus 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.

*Most charter yachts are only legally allowed to cruise with a maximum of 12 guests on board but Bespoke Yacht Charter have 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

  1. The first step should be determining what constitutes a legal marriage in your country of residence.
  2. 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.

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

Consult your 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.

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 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 special day on a yacht

It goes without saying that Bespoke Yacht Charter would bend over backwards to fulfil your wedding yacht charter expectations – but we thought we’d ask a wedding expert for their opinion.

What makes a wedding on a luxury yacht so unique?

There are many advantages to getting married on board a luxury yacht, but one of the most unique is the sense of elite adventure that being on a yacht provides. It is a chance to make your wedding one that your wedding guests will be talking about for years.

Why is a destination wedding that incorporates a luxury yacht ideal for pre or post-ceremony use as well?

What can be better than getting married and then sailing or cruising off into the sunset with your guests to celebrate your wedding day? Luxury yachts provide such versatility for your wedding celebrations – they really are the perfect wedding venue!

What one piece of advice would you give a bride and groom on selecting a yacht for their wedding?

Approach choosing the yacht for your wedding just like you would a traditional wedding venue, make sure it can accommodate your needs and then let your heart lead you to fall in love with the dream location to hold your yacht wedding.
