An Insider’s Guide to Yacht Party Rentals

Yacht party rentals are fun territory to charter. Whether you’re looking to plan an epic corporate yacht party , host a birthday party on a yacht , rent a boat for a wedding , or throw a retirement party on a yacht , yachts are unique and exciting event venues. 

With more than 43 years in the yacht party business, our experienced team of event professionals is ready to walk you through the process every step of the way.

Party planning has never been so easy – especially with our insider tips and an expert team to help ensure yacht party success. 

Set your budget (and stick to it)

Whether a grand soiree or an intimate celebration, your budget is at the core of your master plan. Establishing a budget early on will help you decide what you want to prioritize – and that will help guide your decision-making. Need help planning? Contact our team . 

Budgeting is not a sexy topic, but evaluating what matters most to you can be fun. Are you more focused on food? Music? Decor? An exclusive guest experience?

Budgeting helps you stay on track. For example, when tempted to splurge for a ten-piece band or a five-tiered cake, you can always reference your budget and see if that’s in the cards. If it falls outside your allocated costs, there’s your answer (and scapegoat!). 

Evaluate entertainment

One of the best parts of hosting an event is delighting your guests. Thanks to Pinterest, Instagram, TikTok and a plethora of event publications, the possibilities to entertain your guests are endless.

–  A DJ or band will keep your guests moving. – A magician or comedian will offer laughter. – Signature tastings create an exclusive experience – Games like cornhole and life-size Jenga keep the mood light and fun.  – Photo booths with props act as social stations. 

Whatever you decide, consider the demographic of your guests and the vibe you want to evoke. You’ll want to be sure it hits all the right notes. 

Theme, decor, and rentals

Consider whether you want a theme for your event. It’s not necessary but can be a fun attribute. And when it comes to choosing a theme , there are so many to choose from!

If not opting for a theme, decide on the tone of your event. Formal? Casual? Cocktail? Your dress code will set the tone and help temper your guests’ expectations. Theme or no theme, you’ll need to decide on event decor (e.g., centerpieces, balloons, floral arrangements, color scheme) and determine what rentals you might need to fill your needs. Consider this a reminder that your yacht rental might not come equipped with furniture, linens, dinnerware, and other necessities. To make it easy, we have a list of trusted vendors and partners that we’ve worked with over the years for no-muss no-fuss logistical (and creative) planning.

Show your guests how much you appreciate them with creative party favors! 

From yummy treats to personalized elements, the possibilities are endless – why not explore Pinterest for inspirational ideas and make sure all of your special touches reflect the colors, theme and atmosphere of your celebration.

Hosting a company party? Favors in the form of corporate swag are an opportunity to make a lasting impression with guests.

It’s no secret that food plays a crucial role in any event and can greatly impact your guests’ overall experience. 

At FantaSea Yachts, we understand the importance of a well-crafted menu that caters to a variety of preferences and dietary restrictions. Our in-house culinary team is famous for creating delicious and visually appealing dishes for all types of events, from intimate gatherings to grand celebrations.

We offer a wide range of menu options, including buffet, sit-down, brunch, appetizers, desserts, and late-night fare. Additionally, we can accommodate dietary restrictions such as kosher, gluten-free, vegan, and vegetarian.

Our team works closely with clients to create a custom menu that fits within your budget while satisfying the diverse palates of your guests. 

We take pride in delivering exceptional customer service and creating one-of-a-kind dining experiences. Trust us to elevate your event with delicious and memorable food.

Know your fleet

We take great pride in showcasing our luxury yacht fleet to prospective clients. Touring the fleet gives you a true sense of a yacht’s look and feel and seeing it first-hand. It’s also a terrific way to envision how the space can accommodate your needs.

During your tour, consider what you need for your event and how that stacks up to what each yacht offers. Not all yachts are built the same, so it’s important to step aboard and explore. A few of our popular features include…

How to Rent A Yacht for Party: 101 Guide

Are you looking for an exciting and unique way to celebrate a special occasion? If so, consider renting a yacht! A yacht can accommodate large groups of people and provides a luxurious setting for any event. However, before you rent a yacht, there are several things you should keep in mind. In this blog, we will discuss seven questions you should ask yourself before renting a yacht for a party.

Question #01: How many people will be attending the party?

The first question you need to ask yourself is how many people will be attending the party. Yachts come in all shapes and sizes, so it’s important to choose one that can accommodate your guests comfortably. If you have a large group of people, you may want to consider renting a yacht with multiple decks. This will give your guests plenty of space to relax and enjoy themselves.

Question #02: What type of event is it?

Next, you need to decide what type of event it is. Is it a birthday party, wedding reception, or corporate event? Each type of event requires a different type of yacht. For example, if you are hosting a wedding reception, you will need a yacht with a dance floor and catering facilities. If it’s a corporate event, you may want to consider  renting a yacht for a day .

Question #03: What is your budget?

It’s important to set a budget before you rent a yacht for a party. Yachts can be expensive, so make sure you have enough money to cover the cost of the rental plus any additional expenses such as food, drinks, and fuel.

Question #04: What type of boat is best for your needs?

Not all yachts are created equal. There are several different types of yachts available for rent, so make sure you choose one that meets your specific needs. For example, you may need to rent a powerboat or sailing yacht as one choice and on the other hand, you may just want to relax and take in the views, on the  catamaran yacht charter .

Question #05: What is the length of your trip?

Before renting a yacht, you also need to consider how long your trip will be. Most yachts have a rental period of 24 hours. If you plan on using the yacht for a longer period of time, you will need to make special arrangements with the rental company. Contact Nautical Trips today to get the best last-minute yacht charter deals.!

Question #06: What is your sailing destination area?

When you’re looking for the perfect sailing vacation destination, it’s important to know what kind of yacht will be best suited. If your plans include exploring different areas on land or sea then make sure that any vessel has adequate navigation equipment like sonars (snorkel) and GPS units so they can get where want to go without getting lost!

Question #07: What is your experience level?

If you have never sailed before, it’s important to rent a  crewed yacht charter  that is suitable for beginners. Yachts come with different levels of difficulty, so make sure you choose one that matches your experience level. 

If you’re not sure what type of yacht is right for your party, consult with a sailing expert at Nautical Trips today. We will be able to help you choose the perfect boat for your needs.

Testimonials.

Chartering the PowerPlay made our trip from Sandusky to Put-in-Bay a major highlight of my bachelor party weekend. No worries traveling with an experienced captain and yacht loaded with everything you need for fun!”

— Mike/Bachelor party to Put-in-Bay

I thought my birthday during COVID was going to be so lame, but then all of my friends surprised me with a Party on the PowerPlay! We took a beautiful sunset cruise to the border of Canada and had an amazing party afterward on the yacht! Best. Night. Ever.

— Helen/Birthday party at Put-in-Bay

Captain conveniently picked up me and my future wife in his Zodiac Deluxe Dinghy at Catawba State Park and shuttled us out to the PowerPlay. We cruised over to South Bass Island where we spent the afternoon swimming at anchor in the sun. Thanks, Captain Jim!

— John/Pre-engagement trip to Put-in-Bay

 My bachelorette crew came down from Michigan for a four-day bachelorette extravaganza. By far the highlight of the weekend was Friday’s PowerPlay charter. The dinghy ride was amazing. Having so much fun we extended the charter a couple of more hours. We’ll definitely be back this summer.

I may be biased because I got the BEST PROPOSAL, EVER, while on this boat... regardless, I think it's a super fun time! We rented the boat for about two hours after going over a map and signing a bunch of docs in the offices (you get validated parking in the Four Seasons garage, FYI, for half off!), and then we were off! It's easier to drive than a car, and you can explore ALL of Baltimore, from Harbor East where you start to Federal Hill, Fells Point, Canton, and Fort McHenry. It's really quite the experience, and it'd be great to take visiting friends and family on such an all-encompassing "tour." Luckily for us, the weather was perfect, and the waters were great. The boat is more spacious than it appears on first glance -- it comes complete with a funny little toilet, a sink (with non-potable water), a table, fridge, drawers (corkscrew inside!), and a speaker system compatible with your iPhones et al. All in all... a wonderful, magical, perfect time!

Great experience! Quality instruction, quality equipment. Most reviews here think they can abuse and get a free pass. That's not how it works.

I had a wonderful Labor Day experience two years in a row with Baltimore Electric Boat Rental! It's easy to find right at Harbor East marina. Karen was easy to get a hold of and accommodating. We chose the option of having her as our captain (with gratuity of course!). She let us pick where we'd like to go first in our harbor ride. It was the perfect spot to bring out of towners so they could see the inner harbor, Fells Point, Under Armor, Fort McHenry, Canton and beyond. The boat was very comfortable with a large table in the center. We played music on the iPhone jack and had cold drinks that we kept in the boat fridge. It was especially nice to have the little bathroom on the covered boat too.

Buyer Beware! Be sure to get clear information from Karen upfront about any details of the boat rental as well as a receipt. Merchant charged us, without permission or proof provided, for damage and hours not used for our rental and inspected the boat hours after we left claiming there was damage. She was not willing to check us out appropriately when we docked. Poor communication and business skills. She's great about offering you a deal upfront, just watch out for hundreds of dollars in extra charges for things you didn't do. Super shady be careful and don't let this happen to you!

Sorry you feel that way after returning the boat 1/2 hour late with a damage on it after docking somewhere it was not permitted. I also received complaints about your party negligent driving near a boat under sail. You were charged for the additional 1/2 hour you used and a repair kit of $50. People who have done business with me in the past know I am honest.

Found a deal on groupon and decided to rent for me and some friends. The scheduling was easy which I appreciated. Parking offers a 50% discount however we couldn't receive it because the hotel clerk had already left before our departure ( bummer) the boat is smaller than pictured on the website but still enjoyable. We got a 90 min tour of the harbor, fells point & Canton. Karen the Captain was great. A plus.. we were able to eat on crabs while sailing.

Boat pic from their website but the others are from our evening. Sailed into the night while eating on crabs.

Fam was in town for the weekend and wanted to do something fun and unique...this definitely fit the bill! I rented a boat for a few hours from their Baltimore City (Harbor East) location and the whole process was pretty painless. Hourly rates posted on their website are a bit steep but definitely try to look for deals and/or negotiate, as I'm sure these boats are sitting idle for most of the time. Boats are pretty good size (16-20ish feet I think) with enough room for 10 adults to fit comfortably. They have ice chests, fridge (although it only works when boat is plugged in, so best bet is to pack a cooler), stereo with Ipod hookup, and an "emergency" head for your guests with small bladders. Even if you've never boated before, don't fret - they can issue you a temporary license waiver and all you have to do is read through a few pages of boating guidelines. Plus, they drive the boat in/out of the little pier area, so you don't need to worry about parking skills. Once you're out on the water, these boats really are idiot-proof. Overall, we all had a really nice time out on in the harbor. The boats are electric, so you're not gonna be doing any drag racing (they max out at like 6-7mph), but they're a great way to spend a lazy day out on the water with friends and family. In our 3+ hours on the boat, we basically made two big circuits around the perimeter Harbor and down to Ft. McHenry, passing Fells, Canton, the Fort, Fed Hill, Inner Harbor and Harbor East.

This was a great experience for myself and my family. Captain Cody was friendly and helpful, and took us on a great ride. We learned a lot about the harbor area, and saw a beautiful sunset over the Baltimore skyline. Highly recommended!

So happy you enjoyed your experience! Thank you for your business and positive review!

This was an amazing experience! Our captain, Mike, was a wonderful tour guide. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and definitely showed us a great time! My mother-in-law, who is a stickler for customer service mentioned how personable he was. We enjoyed ourselves thoroughly on the quaint electric boat. Lovely experience. We will absolutely be renting from them again!

My husband rented the Duffy electric boat for my birthday. It was amazing. We brought along friends and food and had a blast. Karen was the best and answered all of my questions during our countless telephone conversations. She gave my husband (the captain) a brief overview of the boat on arrival and issued him a 10 day boating license. The boat looks pretty easy to operate. We will be doing this again soon.

I would HIGHLY not recommend renting from this company and if you do, BE CAREFUL!!! Be sure you know upfront what your charges are, how damages are assessed, and what fees you could incur. Its a little shady how they calculate the time departing time and the return time. Somehow we were 10 minutes late and were charged an excessive late fee. We don't typically drive boats so we did our best to come back but there is no grace period and had to pay a lot more. Also, find a way to inspect the boat and take photos!!! Wait at the end of your return to checkout and confirm there are no damages. I took really good care of the boat, made no contact with any other structure on the water and somehow got accused of damages. She confirmed with my group that we are all set and we come to find out extra charges and fees were added to the credit card. I am 110% certain that no damages were incurred while we had the boat. Its a shame.... I have wanted to rent this again for family and out of town guests and will look for another company to rent from.

More often than not, positive experiences do not send reviews. Here, I get 2 negative reviews from the same party that was negligent on the waterfront. You were not the renter, nor the designated driver of the boat that day. One of your party said you all docked the boat somewhere to relieve yourselves which is why the boat was returned 1/2 hour late with a damage on it. If you really were concerned about my time keeping, there are cameras at the marina that can show when the boat left and when it returned. A sailboat also informed me that your party came too close to them while they were under sail and it was an intentional manuever. The renter was charged for the additional 1/2 hour the boat was out and a $50 damage fee. Your party is an example of what merchants need to watch out for.....

This New 95-Foot Yacht Pairs the Agility of a Runabout With the Luxury of a Superyacht

Holterman’s x-95 was designed for both cruising and chartering., rachel cormack.

The world’s largest carbon-fiber sailing catamaran could be yours for $19 million, this new 164-foot superyacht is like a floating night club, the ritz-carlton’s luxe 794-foot cruise ship is voyaging to asia starting next year.

“The Xtreme range may be very new—and the X-95 the newest of those—but Holterman is not,” CEO Robbert Holterman said in a statement . “The X-95 really is the culmination of everything we have done and everything we have learned over six decades of building exceptional yachts .”

Designed in collaboration with Dutch studio Bernd Weel , the widebody yacht features a sleek, all-aluminum exterior and a reliable, twin-shaft drivetrain that enables a top speed of 24 knots and a range of 1,800 nautical miles at 15 knots. It is also fitted with a modern exhaust treatment system that meets the latest IMO Tier III emission standards.

Onboard, a stunning raised pilothouse creates what Holterman describes as “acres” of exterior and interior living space. On the main deck, a huge salon leads to a forward owner’s suite with a luxurious private terrace. Below, the lower deck is outfitted with four generous guest cabins and large crew quarters.

“We believe the X-95 is something really special,” adds designer Bernd Weel. “One of the main focuses right from the start was to create a lot of exterior space for outdoor living, but at the same time maximizing interior space for a full five-cabin layout—we also really wanted to design the yacht to be optimized for potential charter, so the integration of captain and crew has been paramount in the design.”

Election latest: Farage responds after Reform campaigner filmed making 'very prejudiced' comments

Nigel Farage has responded to footage from a Channel 4 report showing Reform campaigners using racist and homophobic language in Clacton - the constituency where the former UKIP leader hopes to be elected.

We'll be back at 6am with all the latest from the final week of the general election campaign.

There are just six days of campaigning left until the polls open on 4 July, and political parties from across the House of Commons are busy trying to win your votes.

Join us from the morning for more live updates.

Until then - read all the latest from Sky News below:

The Metropolitan Police has been dragged - reluctantly, as I understand it - into investigating candidates a week out from the election. 

Even 24 hours ago this was not the case - Scotland Yard wanted to take care of their own - the officers probed by the Gambling Commission - and no more.

But as the days have dragged on, it's clear the issue has become more complex, and now gone beyond the scope of the Gambling Commission.

What has changed is a realisation by investigating authorities that they need to look into whether some candidates may have broken the law on misconduct in public office.

This is beyond the remit of the Gambling Commission, which began the initial probe, and now falls to the police.

This means the prospect of mainly Conservative candidates, including the prime minister's closest aide, potentially being interviewed under caution, maybe even this side of election day.

You could see how tetchy the subject made Rishi Sunak in the interview with the broadcast pool earlier today.

Read Sam's full analysis here:

With our coverage here on the Politics Hub drawing to a close, here's everything you need to know as the election campaign entered its final week - and a sneak preview of what we have coming up tomorrow. 

• Sir Keir Starmer  has told Sky News there is "no evidence" private schools will be forced to close due to  Labour's plans to impose VAT on them ;
• Speaking to  Sky's Sophy Ridge,  the Labour leader defended his party's education policy to use the money to support state schools;
• He also vowed to "hit the ground running" should he become prime minister, saying cutting NHS waiting lists would be Labour's first priority in government.
• A Reform UK campaigner has been filmed saying migrants crossing the Channel should be used as "target practice";
• In   footage recorded by a Channel 4 undercover reporter , the same campaigner used a racial slur against Rishi Sunak;
• Another Reform figure was filmed making homophobic remarks ;
• Party leader Nigel Farage has described comments in the footage as "very wrong".
• Rishi Sunak  has refused to say if he told one of his closest parliamentary aides the date of the election  before he placed a bet on it ;
• Craig Williams , who has now been suspended as the Conservative candidate in Montgomeryshire and Glyndwr,  admitted  he "committed a serious error of judgment" but "not an offence";
• The  Metropolitan Police  have issued an update on their investigation into bets being placed on the date of the election - there are now  seven officers under investigation;
• Meanwhile, Mr Sunak's most senior adviser in Downing Street has been interviewed in the investigation. Sources have emphasised to Sky News that he is not a suspect.

Join us tomorrow morning for a new episode of Sky's  Electoral Dysfunction   podcast - and this time we've got someone very much outside the Westminster bubble.

The next government is being urged to tackle an "appalling" rough sleeping crisis as new figures show a record high in London. 

A total of 11,993 people were seen rough sleeping in the capital in the year to March, according to the latest Combined Homelessness and Information Network (Chain) statistics.

That is the highest figure ever recorded on the database, and marks a 58% increase compared to 10 years ago.

The "appalling" increase reflects a "crisis, both in the capital and across the country", said Rick Henderson, chief executive of Homeless Link, the membership body for frontline homelessness services in England, which manages the Chain database.

He said the next government "must create a cross-government plan to prevent rough sleeping and homelessness through delivering genuinely affordable and secure homes quickly, whilst making sure there are a diverse range of properly-funded homelessness services to help people address the root causes of their destitution and move on from rough sleeping for good".

The St Mungo's homeless charity said the next government must "treat homelessness as an emergency and prioritise it in their first 100 days".

According to the latest available figures for England, published in February, the estimated number of people sleeping rough on a single night in autumn in 2023 was 3,898 - more than twice that of the figure in 2010.

Racist and homophobic remarks filmed as part of a Channel 4 investigation   during the Reform UK campaign were "inappropriate," chairman of the party Richard Tice has said. 

Speaking at a Reform UK event in Boston with party leader Nigel Farage, Mr Tice said: "We put a statement out and it's all self-explanatory in the statement.

"The reality is that we're a fast-growing movement, and when you've got unpaid volunteers, some people behave inappropriately. And they're gone."

In footage recorded by a Channel 4 undercover reporter, a Reform UK campaigner has been filmed saying migrants crossing the Channel should be used as "target practice".  He also used a racist slur against Rishi Sunak (see previous post).

Another Reform figure was filmed making homophobic remarks.

Mr Farage has described remarks in the footage as "very wrong".

A Reform UK campaigner has been filmed saying migrants crossing the Channel should be used as "target practice". 

In footage recorded by a Channel 4 undercover reporter , the same campaigner used a racial slur against Rishi Sunak. 

The clips were recorded in Clacton, where Reform leader Nigel Farage is a candidate. 

Responding to the footage, Mr Farage has said the comments were "very wrong".

"There was an activist that said some pretty unpleasant things," he said.

"Very very prejudiced, very wrong.

"He's somebody who turned up to help ... all political parties encourage volunteers."

He added that the campaigner in question would "not be welcome back" and that the two other figures featured in the footage would also no longer be working with the campaign. 

In the footage, the undercover reporter captured canvasser Andrew Parker talking about people coming ashore at Deal in Kent.

Mr Parker said: "Army recruitment - get the young recruits there, with guns, on the f****** beach, target practice. F****** just shoot them."

Mr Parker said in a statement, sent to Channel 4 News: "I would like to make it clear that neither Nigel Farage personally or the Reform Party are aware of my personal views on immigration."

He added: "I have never discussed immigration with either Nigel Farage or the Reform Party and that any comments made by me during those recordings are my own personal views on any subject I commented on. At no time before I was sent out to canvass did I discuss my personal views with any representative of the Reform Party UK or Nigel Farage."

Another Reform figure was filmed reacting to a Pride symbol on a passing police car.  

He says: "You see that f****** degenerate flag on the front bonnet? What are the old bill doing promoting that crap?"

The other candidates for the Clacton constituency are:

• Jovan Owusu-Nepaul, Labour;
• Matthew Bensilum, Lib Dems;
• Craig Jamieson, Climate Party;
• Tony Mack, independent;
• Natasha Osben, Greens;
• Tasos Papanastasiou, Heritage Party;
• Andrew Pemberton, UKIP;
• Giles Watling, Conservatives.

Our live poll tracker collates the results of opinion surveys carried out by all the main polling organisations - and allows you to see how the political parties are performing in the run-up to the general election.

With just a week to go, the Tories and Labour have taken a drop, while support for Reform UK and the Liberal Democrats is on the rise.

Read more about the tracker  here .

The panel discussion is now turning to the Conservative Party's election campaign. 

Sky's  election commentator  Adam Boulton   says it has been "dreadful", adding Rishi Sunak "hasn't brought anything to this campaign". 

A series of missteps have dominated the headlines from the outset when Mr Sunak announced the election in the pouring rain.

But as the campaign enters its final week there may now be a moment of respite for the Conservatives, Adam says. 

"Almost the best thing about this campaign is the most irritating for a lot of people," Adam says.

"He's timed it to coincide with the Euros, with Wimbledon, with Glastonbury, which actually means the last week, it'll have to be a pretty big gaffe for anyone to notice."

That brings tonight's Politics Hub With Sophy Ridge to an end - the show will return tomorrow with Ali Fortescue . In the meantime, stick with us here for more news and analysis through the evening.

The battle for Scottish votes is all to play for.

An exclusive YouGov poll for Sky News has Labour on 35% in Scotland and the SNP on 29%.

The latter are closing the gap, but if all goes this way on the night, such a result would mean big gains for Labour.

But the biggest gutter punch is dealt to the Conservatives who YouGov has on 11% and level with the Lib Dems.

But attitudes change when voters consider where to cast their ballot in the 2026 Holyrood elections.

As of the 18 June, voter intentions shifted to 28% for the SNP, 24% Labour, 10% Conservatives and 7% for the Lib Dems.

This tells us Scots treat UK and Scottish elections differently. 

It also suggests the former creating an opportunity for a protest vote - a cry of frustration at 14 years of Tory governments at Westminster, or the firing of a warning shot at the SNP’s record after 17 years at Holyrood.

But so many are still undecided.

1,059 people over 16 were surveyed by YouGov between the 20 and 25 June, exclusively for Sky News, and 14% of people surveyed have changed how they plan to vote over the past four weeks.

Of those, 37% say it was down to how the parties and their leaders have conducted themselves.

The NHS and health care are the key issues, followed by the cost of living next, the economy in general, immigration, and Scottish independence.

Rishi Sunak's most senior adviser in Downing Street has been interviewed in the investigation into bets by Conservatives on the date of the general election.

Liam Booth-Smith, Downing Street chief of staff, was interviewed last week by senior Gambling Commission officials and questioned about who knew about the timing of the election.

Sources have emphasised to Sky News that Mr Booth-Smith is not a suspect in the gambling investigation and was interviewed as a witness and was "asked for help".

Described as the prime minister's most trusted ally, Mr Booth-Smith has worked for Mr Sunak since he was chancellor, when his fondness for leather jackets earned him the nickname "the Treasury Travolta".

According to a Gambling Commission insider, Mr Booth-Smith was interviewed by "senior officials within the Gambling Commission, more senior than investigators".

Sky News has also been told there are currently no plans to interview the prime minister as part of the investigation into bets on the election date.

Got your party hat on? Let’s dive right in.

Boatsetter’s happy to help—Throw your party on a boat rental!

1. Nautical extravaganza

Lean into the magic of being on the water with a Nautical Extravaganza boat party theme. Think navy and white decorations, ropes, and sailor hats. Your guests can dress the part in sailor and captain costumes, or keep it simple with white attire and navy accents.

Whether you’re catering or cooking yourself, fish and chips is a simple classic, as timeless as the nautical theme! And you can spice things up with a signature Captain’s Punch or Blue Lagoon Cocktails.

2. Tropical paradise

Transform your boat into a slice of serenity with a Tropical Paradise boat party. Illuminate your decks with tiki torches, hang vibrant palm leaves, and drape colorful fabrics to recreate the lush allure of a tropical oasis.

Bring this boat party theme to life with Piña Coladas and Mai Tais, served alongside coconut shrimp, Hawaiian BBQ skewers, and a tropical fruit platter!

3. Pirate adventure

Plan a boat party with an adventurous twist when you set sail on a Pirate Adventure. Decorate with treasure chests, rustic maps, and skull-and-crossbones. Your crew can look the part with pirate hats, bandanas, and eye patches. For a fun activity, organize a ship-wide treasure hunt.

We recommend a themed menu with dishes like Buccaneer’s BBQ ribs and “Shiver Me Timbers” Seafood Gumbo. As for drinks, offer Dark ‘n’ Stormy cocktails, made with rum and ginger beer, or mix your own Pirate’s Punch.

4. Under the sea

Dive into the depths with an Under the Sea Fantasy theme. Use shades of blue and green, with shimmering decorations to mimic the ocean’s allure. If your guests want to go all in, encourage them to wear mermaid costumes, pirate costumes, or fish-inspired looks.

Serve up “sea-themed sips”, like an Ocean Breeze, made with blue curaçao and vodka, or a Seashell Spritzer (add edible glitter for an unforgettable sparkle).

5. Gatsby glamor

Gatsby Glamor is a gateway boat party theme idea. You can step back into the roaring twenties with a Gatsby theme, or pick whatever era excites you the most (60s, 70s, 80s, and so on!)

Sticking with Gatsby: infuse your boat with the opulence of the era. We recommend gold accents, Art Deco glamor, feather centerpieces, and a champagne tower. A live jazz band can set the tone of your luxurious affair.

Taste the twenties with a menu of Oysters Rockefeller, cocktail shrimp, and Gatsby-style canapés, complimented with Champagne Cocktails and Sidecars.

6. Neon glow

If you’re hosting a boat party after dark, a Neon Glow theme is the perfect way to light up the night. Illuminate your boat with black lights and fluorescent decorations. Enhance the atmosphere with neon-colored cocktails, glow-in-the-dark games, and upbeat music .

We recommend taking your boat party to the next level with a professional DJ and laser light show!

7. Hawaiian luau

A Hawaiian Luau is another classic boat party theme idea. Your guests can kick back in Hawaiian shirts, grass skirts, and flower leis. Colorful flowers, tiki torches, and bamboo décor will transform your boat into an island escape.

A Tropical Breeze Cooler is the perfect signature cocktail for your Luau. Mix coconut rum (or coconut water for a non-alcoholic option) with pineapple juice, orange juice, cranberry juice, and a splash of grenadine for a swirl of tropical flavors.

8. Mardi Gras madness

Capture the vivacious energy of New Orleans with the Mardi Gras Madness boat party theme. Bedeck your boat with traditional Mardi Gras colors (purple, green, and gold) and encourage your guests to wear masks, beads, and feathers to bring this theme alive. You can curate a festive ambiance by hiring a jazz band and serving traditional Cajun cuisine.

9. All-white party

For our last boat party theme idea, we recommend throwing a White Party. White parties are the perfect way to create casual elegance. Decorate your vessel with whites, creams, and soft ambient lighting. Guests should wear all white to fit the theme and create a fully immersive experience.

Top it off with a menu of white-themed drinks and dishes, like White Russians, Peach Bellinis, lobster rolls, and caprese skewers.
