Charter a Yacht for a Private Party

A fun way to pamper the special guest is to charter a private yacht and customize the experience for the party. Want to hire a private chef? Or do you prefer to bring your own food and drinks? Want to look for dolphins when you're out at sea? Or, are you looking to pop the big question and propose during sunset on the water? The possibilities are endless when it comes to your own private boat party!

Oftentimes, you can charter a sailboat or powerboat for a couple of hours, half-day or full-day and hire a captain so you and the guests can enjoy the festivities and take in the views.
