There is no better way
to impress your friends than throwing a legendary party over the sea on a
luxury yacht. With scenic views, great weather, an upbeat ambiance and positive
vibes, it is bound to be the best party ever. Throwing a yacht party does not
have to be challenging; as long as you follow specific tips, your party will be
as awesome as you hope. Check out what to do and what not to do while
organizing your upcoming yacht party.
Choose the perfect charter route
Picking a scenic charter
route is a good idea for two reasons. Firstly, it will give your guests great
views as they party. Secondly, the party photos will likely turn out fabulous.
Thankfully, there is no shortage of fantastic views while hosting a yacht party Dubai. From Dubai Creek and its old-time city charm to Dubai Marina and
its superior skyscraper views, the charter route options you can check out are
abundant.
Moreover, it is
essential to avoid areas where the water is choppier and stick to calmer spots.
Plus, staying close to residential and business areas along the coastline is a
bad idea as you must reduce the volume. To avoid sticky situations and keep the
good party mood up, choose locations farther from the Dubai coastline that
provide good views.
Provide clear and detailed instructions to guests
As the party host, you
might have specific rules you want your guests to follow. Instead of worrying
whether it might seem weird, communicate your guidelines in advance. Be
friendly and positive about it, and people are likely to listen. Plus, some
rules are necessary to ensure everyone has a safe time. What’s more, you get to
stay worry-free and enjoy your party to the fullest.
Based on your
convenience, figure out a way to let everyone know the regulations. You can
create a chat group and provide them via text or host a fun pre-party
conference call to fine-tune the details.
Fix a theme for the party
A party theme is not
mandatory but can add to the overall fun and excitement. Moreover, it helps
guests decide whether to keep their outfits casual and what to pack. For
instance, if Halloween is around the corner, you can plan the entertainment
accordingly and throw a delightfully horrific costume party over the sea. Or,
ask your guests to glam up for a flashy New Year’s Eve bash. It is all up to
you!
Book experienced crew members
A yacht party can go out
of hand quickly if it is not under control. It is the last thing you want to
deal with as the party host in the middle of the sea. Therefore, it is
important to hire a captain and crew members who are well-trained to handle all
tricky situations professionally. Plus, they will take care of the guests and
ensure everyone’s well-being. Request your guests to listen to the crew’s
guidelines and behave accordingly for their safety. By doing so, you can
guarantee everyone’s safety and have a good experience. If necessary, hire a
bouncer and stewardess to keep an eye on the party activities; it is
particularly recommended for events with many guests.
Create a guest list far in advance
You must develop a
complete guest list far in advance before the party to make plans accordingly.
Luxury yachts usually have specific passenger capacities. If the capacity is
exceeded, the crew will not authorize sailing. The limit is strictly imposed to
ensure the safety of all passengers.
If more people show up
than you expected and there is not enough space on the yacht, it will be
awkward and ruin the whole experience. Take RSVP responses seriously while
creating your guest list. If you are concerned about extra people showing up at
the last minute, you can request a bigger yacht per your budget.
Note that a yacht's
passenger and overnight guest capacities are often different. Therefore, get
the relevant information beforehand from the rental company to prevent hurdles
later on.
Plan out the food and beverages
Poorly catered food and
beverages can dampen the party vibes and put everyone in a bad mood. After all,
no one wants to party while hungry. Therefore, book food and beverages from a
catering service with good reviews. You can ask the rental company to take care
of it as well. Ask your guests to provide allergy and dietary information early
on so you can plan accordingly.
Choose food that does
not spill easily, as it might cause a huge mess on a rocky yacht. Pick party
snacks, finger food, and delicious main course options like tacos, pizza and
burgers. Handing out popsicles is a fun idea for daytime parties.
Pick music that matches the vibes
Music can make or break
a yacht party. A few bad songs play in a row, and your guests lose the
excitement to dance. You can create a Spotify playlist and ask your guests to add their recommendations. Or
else, book a DJ whose tunes your guests are bound to enjoy.
Keep the party theme in
mind before fixing the playlist. For instance, a heavy metal playlist may not
be the best option for a romantic, low-key valentine’s day party. Even a few
slow tracks can kill the vibe of a raging party with your old college friends.
Choose each track carefully to guarantee a great time.
Add something extra to make it memorable
Leave a lasting
impression on your guests by providing something extra, which can be a
surprise. For instance, you can plan a surprise jet ski session for all the
guests. Or else, hand out cute party favors as everyone disembarks, such as a
quirky keychain, personalized candy bars or polaroid photos of the party. The
gesture does not have to be over the top or expensive.
Now that you know how to
throw an amazing yacht party, why wait? Start planning!
