Setting Sail in Style
How to Pack for the Perfect Yacht Party
Ahoy, social butterflies! A yacht party creates memories that will last a lifetime thanks to the excitement of the wide sea, the yacht’s gentle sway, and the promise of a great time with friends. But let’s be honest, preparing for such an occasion might be a little difficult. It’s important to create a balance between being stylish, useful, and gorgeous. Do not worry; we have you covered. Here’s how to prepare for the ideal yacht party and make sure you’re the highlight of the seaside celebration.
follow the stars
dress to impress
- Channel your inner sailor or mermaid with nautical-themed outfits. Think classic navy stripes, crisp white shirts, and chic sailor dresses. Opt for breathable fabrics and comfy shoes, as you might be dancing the night away under the stars.
- Bring the vibrant tropics to the high seas by donning Hawaiian prints. Think bold, colourful shirts or dresses featuring palm trees, hibiscus flowers, or pineapples. Pair these with sunglasses and flower leis to complete the tropical island look.
- Capture the essence of beachside relaxation with a bohemian-inspired outfit. Flowy maxi dresses, wide-brimmed hats, and beachy waves in your hair exude an effortlessly chic vibe. Add some fun, oversized sunglasses and feather accessories for a playful touch.
- For an elegant and clean look, opt for an all-white ensemble. A white jumpsuit, dress, or tailored shorts paired with a stylish white blouse exude sophistication. Accessorize with gold or silver jewelry and oversized shades for a touch of glamour.
- Channel the timeless elegance of the Roaring Twenties. Don a flapper dress, add a feather boa, and accessorize with a headband or cloche hat. Complete the look with pearl necklaces and dramatic, vintage-inspired makeup.
- Unleash your inner sea siren with a mermaid-inspired look. Metallic or iridescent fabrics, sequins, and shimmering accessories create the illusion of shimmering scales. Choose oceanic colours like blues, greens, and purples, and add seashell or starfish jewelry for a whimsical touch.

swimsuits & coverups
A yacht party isn’t complete without some water-based fun. Pack your trendiest swimsuits, cover-ups, and beachwear for a dip in the ocean or lounging on the deck. Don’t forget a stylish sun hat, sunglasses, and plenty of sunscreen to protect yourself from the sun’s rays.
Don’t be afraid to bring a change of clothes – after all – a charter is the perfect backdrop for a few photos and perhaps a new Hinge profile photo?
Leave your high heels at home – the yacht life is all about those naked feet in the picts!
bring something cozy & versatile
prepare for all weather
Even on the warmest days, the sea breeze can be refreshing. Pack a light sweater or jacket to keep you cozy during the evening festivities. Bonus points for a jacket that complements your outfit!
On each of our yachts, we have plenty of fluffy blankets that will go with any outfit and keep you super cozy! Each yacht also has a spacious cabin – with a furnace so if you want to spend time indoor you absolutely may! The weather will be fantastic for your charter – no doubt – but it is always nice to know you have options.

staycation essentials
While you’re rocking that fabulous outfit, let’s not forget to keep your skin refreshed and glowing throughout the yacht party. A compact toiletry kit is your best friend here. Load it up with essentials like sunscreen to protect your skin from the sun’s embrace, moisturizer to keep your skin supple, and your favourite makeup to keep your look on point. Freshen up at any moment, and be ready to dazzle as you party from day to night. Be sure to include eyelash glue and eye makeup remove in case you want to go swimming.
Mastering Leadership

A yacht party is all about the good times, and what better way to set the mood than with some playful party props? If you’re hosting the event or celebrating a special occasion, consider bringing along fun party hats, vibrant balloons, and quirky props to get the celebration started. Let your imagination run wild—deck out the yacht with eye-catching decorations and watch the excitement unfold as your guests embrace the festivities.
In the past, our guests have loved playing mystery games, bringing balloons aboard, and light serving ware to make their food super photo ready! For our evening charters, guests have even brought aboard flickering led lights to set the mood!
eco friendly choices
sea friendly
As we embark on this nautical adventure, let’s keep our oceans in mind. Stay environmentally conscious by bringing along reusable water bottles to stay hydrated throughout the journey. The seas may be vast, but let’s make an effort to minimize single-use plastics. Carry eco-friendly bags to stash any souvenirs you might collect during the trip, ensuring we leave only footprints and take only memories from this fantastic yacht party.
With these practical tips and a dash of creativity, you’re all set to embark on an unforgettable yacht party. Pack your essentials, don those party hats, groove to your curated playlist, capture the memories, and leave a positive impact on our beautiful oceans.
