Frequently Asked Questions

  • A yacht party offers a truly unique and private experience compared to a restaurant booking. Instead of being stuck in a crowded, noisy venue with fixed seating, guests can relax, mingle freely, and enjoy stunning water views while celebrating.

    Is it easier to socialise on a yacht compared to a restaurant?

    Yes. Restaurants can be loud, busy and make conversations difficult—especially for larger groups.
    On a yacht, it’s just you and your guests. The environment is quieter and more social, making it easier to talk, laugh, and actually connect with each other.

    Can guests move around freely, or are they seated like in a restaurant?

    One of the biggest advantages of a yacht party is the freedom to mingle. Unlike restaurants where guests are often stuck in awkward or tight seating arrangements for long periods, a yacht allows guests to:

    • Walk around comfortably between indoor lounges and outdoor decks

    • Stand, sit, mingle or dance without restriction

    • Interact more naturally—perfect for corporate functions, team-building events, and celebrations where networking and interaction matter

    This creates a more social and engaging atmosphere compared to sitting at a dining table for hours.

    Is a yacht party more affordable than a restaurant event?

    Often, yes. Yacht events can actually be more budget-friendly because:

    • You can BYO food and drinks, saving on restaurant bar prices and per-head costs

    • No expensive venue hire or set menu requirements

    • Flexible catering—choose our options or bring your own platters, grazing boards or private chef

    Is it suitable for company events and corporate functions?

    Absolutely. Yacht functions are perfect for businesses wanting a more memorable and interactive setting.
    Benefits for corporate events include:

    • Open space for staff to mingle and build relationships

    • No loud restaurant distractions or cramped seating

    • Private venue with branding and customisation options

    • Ability to play corporate presentations, music or speeches over the sound system

    • A premium and exclusive experience that reflects positively on the company

    What makes a yacht party more exclusive than a restaurant?

    A yacht is a fully private venue—no other diners, no waiting staff serving other tables. It’s just your group, your music, your food, and the ocean. This sense of exclusivity makes it feel more special and personal.

    What experiences do you get on a yacht that restaurants don’t offer?

    • Sea and skyline views while cruising

    • Fresh air, sunsets and water reflections

    • Indoor lounge, open deck, dance area and viewing spots

    • Play your own music or Spotify playlist
