Whether under a crystal clear blue sky or during star-filled evening near the coast, there’s no better way to celebrate a wedding than on an exciting yacht excursion. With the right planning and attention to detail, the event can go off without a hitch. For 25 years, Compass Rose Yacht Charters in Berkeley, CA, has transformed traditional gatherings into fun-filled jaunts.

Here, they share a few helpful tips to make your celebration unforgettable:

• Pick a Departure Point: Make plans early to decide which port the yacht will depart from. This information is vital for guests who need to make flight plans and book a hotel room. Find out which departure times are available, too.
• Check Weather Reports: While the weather can’t be controlled, you can plan for any changes. Data that provides information on previous years’ weather patterns is a good guide. Choose a yacht with enclosed levels just in case dark clouds move in.
• Prep for Sea Sickness: Unfortunately, some guests may experience seasickness. Encourage people to take appropriate over-the-counter nausea relief before departure and have medication on hand just in case.
• Make Hair Adjustments: To keep your hair beautifully coiffed, consider using styling products that can stand up to wind and humidity. Use waterproof mascara and an oil absorption product to reduce facial shine.
• Keep the Fun Going: Having your wedding on a yacht is a great opportunity to get creative. Schedule dance contests and other fun activities at certain intervals. Incorporate waterway and yacht themes into the happenings to make the event extra special.
