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 Yacht’ 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 company’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 décor 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 DJ’s to jazz bands to karaoke to your own Caribbean-style Junkanoo, it all depends on you. Charter One’s event planners will work with you so you can entertain in style.

I organized a short 3h charter for a corporate group with the help of Isabella from Charter One. Everything was smooth and easy - from selecting options to ensuring we were prepped before the trip. Day of, everything was great - service was perfect, the yacht was even better than expected. I would definitely recommend using Charter One.

If you are looking for a one stop shop- this is the cruise to take! Isabella is great and has a great attention to detail and very responsive in her communication. This was a corporate lunch cruise that we took on Charter One Yachts. We had 35 people and the space on the yacht was spacious and you never felt crowded at all. The crew had excellent hospitality service and was really attentive to detail. The food was so fresh and delicious. You will not be disappointed booking a trip on Charter One Yachts.

I recently had a corporate event with customers and got a chance to work with the Charter One Yachts team. I've had the pleasure of working with the front office to crew members onboard the yacht.Pre-event, with the little time I had to put together the event, the COY team promptly responded to my inquiries and checked in with me for the items I owed them. I've had some substitution requests for the menu and they were very accommodating to our needs.During the event, first, we were greeted by the friendly crew, then the evening continued with excellent service. The guests commented how accommodating the crew members are, not just during the dinner service, but throughout the entire experience.I would definitely work with them again!

Beautiful ship! We hosted our company party this year on Charter One yachts and I was blown away to say the least! The ship was beautiful and the crew members were all highly trained professionals who are passionate about their work and are dedicated to making your experience unforgettable. They are knowledgeable about the local area and can provide valuable insights into the best places to visit and the most scenic routes to take. Charter One Yachts is also very accommodating to special requests, whether it's a specific type of cuisine, custom decorations, or even a special itinerary. They work closely with their clients to ensure that every detail is taken care of and that their expectations are exceeded.

Just had a birthday party for 41 people on Saturday on the Yacht Summerwind. Isabella was very a accommodating and easy to work with. . I was more than delighted at the condition of the boat, the appetizers and delicious food served and most of all the attentive personnel/ servers. It was a first class experience from start to finish. I would not hesitate to use them again in the future.

We hosted our 2022 Holiday party with Charter One Yachts, which included a wonderful buffet, a DJ and dancing. The crew was amazing at delivering excellence in service, timing everything with such precision a well as meeting the needs of all the passengers. The DJ provided the perfect balance to end the night with so much fun, laughter and dancing. A good time was had by all. Thank you, Charter One for delivering!

Beautiful Yachts! Great service! Will definitely book with them again.

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 – or all of it! Anything you want can be served – 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: “If you can’t afford a full bar, have red and white wines and a novelty cocktail.”

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 “gussy 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.”

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, there’s no clean-up!
