Organizing an event on the water sounds fun, doesn't it? From an elegant wedding to a party with friends, any event that takes place on a ship or yacht can become unique. However, one of the most common questions is how to choose the right boat or yacht for you.
For that, at SpacePal we bring you a guide to ensure your event is a successful one. Take a look!
How to choose the ideal yacht for your event: step by step
Determine the type of event:
The type of event you choose to celebrate will influence the type of vessel you will need to select. Some points to help you make this decision are:
- Formal or informal? A formal event like a wedding or business party will require a more luxurious boat with high amenities. On the other hand, if your desire is to keep it informal, you can choose a simpler and therefore less expensive one.
- Day or night? Nighttime events on a yacht give an elegant touch, especially if accompanied by good lighting. Daytime events might mean outdoor parties using the water as a great backdrop.
Number of guests:
The size of the boat or yacht you choose will depend exclusively on the number of people you want for your event. To ensure everything goes perfectly, don't forget to make a guest list to keep track of the number and ensure everyone can enjoy comfortably.

- Catering: make sure the vessel has a kitchen or facilities to place the catering both inside and outside.
- Entertainment: for events that include music, consider places that have sound systems and dance floors.
Location and routes:
The location of the boat can impact your event. Make sure there is parking available for your guests, as well as an accessible route for everyone, whether they are driving or using public transportation.
