If this is your first time party boat charter, we offer you a charter guide to walk you through the steps. it\u2019s usually advisable to establish an overall budget of how much you would like to spend on your very special event. It is not uncommon to pay between $100 to $200 or even more per person for a yacht and a fully catered dinner or party with an open bar. The type of menu you select will have a determining effect on the cost and clearly the more guests you invite, the more expensive it becomes but the per person rate comes down.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a>The next thing to determine, when you are looking for a boat, is to make sure that the boat that you select is US Coast Guard Inspected and certified for the number of guests<\/strong> you will be placing on board for your special event. You must always think: \u201cWhat is the maximum number of guests that we could possibly have?\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>

Buffets are most popular on yachts so that there is more time for dancing, meeting in groups or being outside and by the bar. It is also a well known fact that there is more food for the guests on a buffet. The crew keep the buffet dishes full until they can see that guests are slowing down. If a formal dinner is requested, or you need all guests to be seated at the same time even for a buffet, it is very important to make sure the yacht dining salon can accommodate everyone. The yachts in our party fleet<\/a> the maximum that can be seated at the same time, on the largest yachts, is 240. With more guests than that then it is best to do more casual arrangements.<\/p>

It is also important to remember that what the Coast Guard give as the certified number of guests allowed does not take comfort into consideration. We have yachts that the Coast Guard have certified for up to 149 but for space restrictions may be best suited for up to 80 guests. We will guide you into choosing the right yacht for your event based on your requirements.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
