Despite what any number of boat-life reality shows may have led you to believe, luxury yachting is no longer a pleasure reserved solely for the super rich. With a number of companies, vessels and options for everything from intimate charters to extravagant celebrations, there’s a bespoke on-board experience to meet any festive fancy.

Whether you’re charter curious or ready to set sail, here’s everything to know about turning your holiday event into a superyacht soirée to remember.

The better question might be – what kind of events can’t you have on a superyacht? From birthdays and bespoke fishing trips to hens parties and christenings, the possibilities are truly endless – just ask Christine Kotsis, founder of Sydney Harbour Bespoke Events.

“We get the opportunity to work on events that are extremely versatile and from one extreme to the other,” says Christine. “One day we could be planning a milestone birthday function, where we organise the yacht hire, styling and even fireworks in the middle of the ocean of a barge! Another day we could be planning a conference-style corporate event that requires live food stations and team bonding activities.”  

What Are Some Of The Services Available On A Superyacht?

If you’re looking to level-up your next nautical activity, then vessels from companies like Ghost Elite Charters offer a host of unique and memorable services.

“From arranging a private jet for our VIP clients to private beach picnics via our tender, yoga sessions, massages, and customised dining experiences, anything is possible,” says charter manager Ivana Dvorakova from Ghost Elite Yacht Charters.

Working with companies like Sydney Harbour Bespoke Events, Ivana and her team manage every element of the minutia so all that’s left for guests to do, is turn up and enjoy.

What’s It Like Organising Events On A Superyacht?

Whether you’re organising an intimate party or a huge event, it’s not as easy to implement as first-timers may think.

“When brining to life an event on a superyacht, there’s a lot to consider regarding the wharf locations, access times (sometimes only 15 minutes), facilities available on board for food storage or drinks, and even whether or not shoes can be worn!” says Christine.

“These are the details clients booking in yachts are unsure about, so we pride ourselves in having all the answers to make the process smooth sailing and stress free.”

There’s nothing quite like a celebration at sea to elevate any event, so why not take the pressure off this party season, and let the professionals take over.
