An intimate setting for a day that belongs to you.
Plan a private wedding celebration on the water with the practical details settled first. Whether you are considering a ceremony, photographs after your vows or time with close friends, the guest count, layout and schedule should guide your yacht shortlist.
A longer yacht is not automatically a venue for a larger wedding. Compare each vessel’s published day-guest limit and include children in the count. Discuss the people working at your event as well as invited guests; the operator must confirm the permitted total before you commit to suppliers.
02
Coordinate the ceremony and suppliers
Explain whether you want a ceremony aboard, a reception or a post-wedding cruise. Ask about access for an officiant, photographer or caterer, setup time, power requirements and approved decorations. Confirm each service separately. A charter inquiry does not establish that catering, flowers, entertainment or ceremony arrangements are included.
03
Leave breathing room in the schedule
Allow time for boarding, photographs and returning to the marina. Share any fixed dinner or transport reservations. The captain confirms the route and weather-dependent activities; ask how a change of conditions affects your plans. Before paying, get the departure location, supplier arrangements, complete price and applicable cancellation terms in writing.

Your day aboard
Follow the confirmed boarding instructions once your charter is booked.
Plan the wedding schedule around the yacht, not the other way around
A yacht wedding in Miami can mean a small celebration aboard, photographs around the wedding day or time on the water with close guests. Explain which occasion you have in mind before selecting a yacht. The guest count, boarding needs and time available at the marina should guide the shortlist; a photograph of a spacious deck does not establish the permitted arrangement for your event.
What should the charter request include?
Share the preferred date, guest count and expected sequence of boarding, photographs, refreshments and return. Mention catering, decorations, music and any outside vendors before confirming them independently. Ask the charter team to verify what is permitted, the departure marina, crew arrangements, weather-related terms and the complete quote. A charter enquiry alone does not reserve the yacht or include an event package.
