Event planning is an exciting challenge that presents you with the opportunity to create a fun and memorable experience. One way of doing that is to host your event on a boat, but that’s not something you can just throw together at the last minute. Use these tips to help plan an event aboard a charter yacht.

3 Tips for Planning Your Event Aboard a Boat

1. Make Sure the Vessel Can Accommodate Your Events

Before chartering a boat, plan the events that will take place during your excursion so you can estimate the amount of space and type of accommodations required. For instance, if you’re providing a meal and musical entertainment, you’ll need space for the dining setup and instruments while leaving enough room for guests to mingle. If you plan to present a video or slideshow, ask your charter service about available audio/visual equipment, which will be much more convenient than bringing a rental.

2. Ask About Safety 

BoatEven if you ask about the vessel’s last inspection and it received a glowing report, you should be prepared for an emergency on board your charter boat. Ensure there will be enough life jackets for the guests as well as fire extinguishers and alarms. Also, familiarize yourself with the crew’s safety protocols.

3. Discuss the Course

Sailing along a coast littered with shipping containers and industrial yards won’t give your guests the best experience. Find a charter service that offers a better selection, so you can choose a course that will present a charming view. If possible, drive along the coast to take an in-person look at the route ahead of time to gauge its scenic value.
