Boat and yacht charters offer a unique and fabulous setting for weddings, anniversaries, photo shoots, or other events surrounding a big day. Boats and yachts provide the allure of the open water with the intimacy of a private venue.
Whether cruising along an iconic coastline or anchored near a scenic harbor, these floating venues provide great backdrops that you just can't have in a traditional venue. From stunning sunsets to panoramic ocean views. The luxurious atmosphere cultivated by yachts makes them ideal for creating romantic celebrations. Perfect for both small, intimate gatherings and grand occasions, boat and yacht charters deliver a one-of-a-kind experience that guests and couples will treasure forever.
Getmyboat has thousands of incredible boats and yachts in top destinations for weddings. By coordinating with a professional captain, you can plan the perfect setting for a welcome party, an anniversary celebration, or the big day if you want to spend it on the water. With vessels for every size group, you’ll have the perfect space to host your closest family and friends.
Here are some of our favorite stories from Getmyboat guests who planned their special days on the water:
Lake Lanier Newlyweds
"I got married in the afternoon at Lake Lanier and rented Will's boat to make a grand entrance to my wedding reception, held on a pier at Lake Lanier. The boat description is accurate. It's nice and clean. Will decorated his boat with a sign that said "just married" and provided a bottle of champagne for us. Will was very understanding and worked with me to find an alternative spot to board his boat. I'd definitely rent from him again. And my guests loved seeing my husband and I arrive to the reception on Will's boat. It was quite the spectacle."

Wedding Photos on the Water
"We had so much fun sailing with Captain Peter. We booked with Peter for our wedding photoshoot and we had the best time sailing at sunset. Peter was very good at communicating with us prior to the booking to make sure everything went smoothly. Peter is very knowledgeable and kind and we would definitely recommend booking with him!"

Celebrating weddings and anniversaries on a boat or yacht offers a unique experience that combines elegance and adventure. The stunning backdrop of open water, coupled with panoramic views of natural scenery or city skylines, creates a romantic and picturesque setting perfect for special moments and photos.
Yacht charters also provide privacy, intimacy, and a sense of exclusivity, making each celebration feel personalized and unique. Guests can enjoy onboard amenities like fine dining, music, and other entertainment. A boat is a venue that stands out from traditional land-based options and can make for a more intimate setting as well. For couples, something magical about saying “I do” or renewing vows while sailing into the sunset adds a movie-worthy element to any celebration.
This was my second trip with Dan and it was just wonderful. We booked him for our wedding and now again for our 1-year anniversary. He is very punctual, kind, fun to talk to, and has a fantastic boat. He really is an amazing host. I 100% recommend it!
Captain Devon was absolutely the Best! I had a wedding party of 25, and we all had a blast! on our cruise with Captain Devon, He was very professional, with great attention to safety! and very patient with our group, He took us to a great snorkeling spot and the kids and older folks had a great time, I highly recommend him for your boat cruising adventures in Hawaii!
We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to Captain Peter for his professionalism, knowledge, and kindness during our wedding. His warm welcome aboard his beautiful sailing boat made our special day truly unforgettable. The experience was unique and extraordinary for us and our friends, and it will forever hold a cherished place in our memories and hearts. We highly recommend this experience and encourage everyone to sail with Peter, a truly trustworthy captain. Thank you once again for making our wedding day so remarkable!
Ibrahim was fantastic! I booked him for my wedding after my original boat cancelled 5 days before my wedding. Ibrahim was very communicative, responsive, accommodating, and overall a wonderful person. I highly recommend him for your boating needs!
