Booking a Yacht in South Florida
When looking for a stress-free holiday party on a yacht, it’s vital to book a yacht charter that offers the ideal vessel for the gathering. Our classic yacht, The Summer Wind, is perfect for a holiday yacht party. Our 91-foot-long vessel can accommodate up to 50 guests on board, making it ideal for family gatherings, friend celebrations, or work events. It has multiple locations to make the party an intimate or festive celebration. The covered aft deck features a beautiful teak dining table, perfect for outdoor dining. This area is enclosed to shield the dinner from the wind and provide shade, allowing guests to relax and enjoy the meal comfortably outdoors.
The Summer Wind yacht also boasts a large, partially covered upper deck, known as the Sky Deck, offering breathtaking 360-degree views of the South Florida Intracostal Waterway. A custom granite bar allows guests to dine, drink, and savor the amazing experience a yacht rental offers. The Summer Wind also has a climate-controlled main salon, which offers a cool, air-conditioned interior. The yacht also features a full-service galley for cooking and preparing food, as well as a master stateroom and a guest room, both equipped with ensuite bathrooms.
Plan the Yacht Itinerary
The itinerary of the yacht cruise is essential for an enjoyable party. The tri-county area in South Florida offers great locations to experience so guests can enjoy a route that showcases the best of South Florida. Some of the popular options include cruising along downtown Miami or exploring the Fort Lauderdale Intracoastal Waterway. Guests can also choose a sunset cruise to catch a breathtaking sunset.
Arrange for Catering
Good food and drinks are essential to any successful party. Booking a yacht charter in South Florida with Charter One Yachts ensures access to our in-house catering services, which can simplify your planning process. We can help plan a menu that’s easy to serve and eat on a moving vessel. We also provide a variety of options to accommodate different dietary restrictions. Our staff takes care of serving all the food, and our bartenders can easily mix festive holiday cocktails to enhance the guest experience.

Decorate the Yacht With a Nautical Theme
A holiday yacht party won’t be complete without the festive decorations and atmosphere. We can provide decor to suit any holiday celebration. Some inspirational ideas include:
- String lights or battery-operated LED candles for a warm ambiance.
- Wreaths made of shells, starfish, and other marine elements.
- Centerpieces featuring sand, sea glass, and holiday ornaments.
- Festive throw pillows and blankets for comfort and color.
- A small, artificial Christmas tree secured to the deck.
There is no need to worry about the safety of the decorations as we set up the yacht to ensure the decorations are secure and comply with safety regulations.
Booking Entertainment and Activities
Having a party on a yacht is fun in itself, but it can always be enhanced. We can keep guests engaged with a mix of entertainment and activities suited to the yacht setting. Our party planners can arrange for live music, such as an acoustic guitarist or small band, to add a more lively environment.
