1. Figure out how many guests you plan on inviting.

Mix as many people as you can from family, friends and work associates. The number of people you invite will help you in choosing the right Miami yacht rental. Charter One Yachtā€™Ā The Summer Wind, formerly owned by the Bacardi Family
for private retreats, is perfect for small- to medium-sized parties, as she accommodates up to Miami Dinner Cruise Party for 50 guests. Also, by knowing how many guests you are having you can work with the charter companyā€™s team to figure out space configuration.

2. Know your budget.

Throwing a Miami yacht party offers endless possibilities in food, drink and entertainment. But with that comes cost. Charter One offers various packages and amenities that fit every budget. Request a Yacht Charter Package Proposal

3. Come up with a theme.

Private Dinner Cruise Miami companies like Charter One Yachts can create amazing themed parties aboard their fleet. Need some ideas? Las Vegas casino night, murder mystery, masquerade ball, Mardi Gras and magic shows are just some of the more popular ideas. For a bridal shower, consider a chabby chic theme complete with a dessert and champagne bar. Amenities and dƩcor ideas onboard are endless.

4. Send out invites and allow plenty of time for people to RSVP.

Remember, the invite sets the tone of the party. If you are hosting a birthday bash and are having a casino night theme, go for a casino-themed invitation. Hosting a Mardi Gras party? Get the Fat Tuesday Mardis Gras celebration started with fun party invites embellished with party beads, streamers and confetti.

5. The music [and dancing] matters.

From DJā€™s to jazz bands to karaoke to your own Caribbean-style Junkanoo, it all depends on you. Charter Oneā€™s event planners will work with you so you can entertain in style.

6. The food matters, too.

Hosting a Miami yacht party charter allows you to have your own personal chef who will work with you in creating the perfect party menu aboard a Miami Yacht, be it a sit down brunch, dinner or buffet ā€“ or all of it! Anything you want can be served ā€“ seafood, sushi boats, platters, sweet tables and so much more. Talk with the chef about setting up food and dessert stations. The only holding you back is your imagine.

7. Lots of drinks, lots of ice and lots of garnishes are key for any party.

On a Miami Yacht Charter you have many options when it comes to liquor, including a premium bar, beer/wine open bar, premium brunch bar and after dinner cordial service. In addition you can also choose a soda/juice bar and coffee/espresso stations. Event planner Elizabeth Allen offers this tip: ā€œIf you canā€™t afford a full bar, have red and white wines and a novelty cocktail.ā€

8. Plan your bar stations:

Katie Brown of The Style Network suggests setting up three self-serve bars: a wine bar, a vodka bar and a Cosmopolitan bar, for example. Alexandra and Eliot Angle, event designers and the authors of Cocktail Parties with a Twist told O Magazine they like to ā€œgussy up a novelty cocktail bar by setting a little table with a pitcher of, say, Green Tea Collins mix, vintage glasses, garnishes and instructions on how to put the thing together properly.ā€

9. Parting Gift Bags.

Thank your guests for coming by sending them off with a special gift bag. Carry the theme of your party into your gift bag or personalize with a special Thank You.

10. Have fun!

Hosting a party onboard a Miami yacht charter allows you to relax, mix and mingle with your guests while the party staff and crew take care of everything. And just think, thereā€™s no clean-up!
