4 Occasions Perfect for a Private Boat Charter

A private boat charter is a great option for all kinds of occasions, like birthdays, anniversaries, small group celebrations, family get-togethers, casual work outings, and even fishing-focused trips. In other words, it can be the perfect venue when you want to spend time together without turning it into a whole thing. 

In this blog post, we’ll walk through each one and explain why a private boat charter fits so naturally.

1. Birthdays

A birthday on a boat isn’t really that different from one on land. You can still bring decorations, food, and cake, and make it feel like a proper party.

Take a kids' party, for example. If you have a kid who’s into boats, maybe you throw up a few nautical-themed decorations and plan a few activities that work for the occasion, like water-themed charades or something.

At the same time, though, you don’t really have to be into boats to go with a floating birthday venue. Maybe you’re just looking for something a little unique, or something that gets you out of the busy city and into a more intimate setting with a few of your favorite friends and family. 

Either way, having a party on a boat is sure to be a birthday that stands out.

2. Anniversaries and Engagements

One of the best things about having an anniversary or engagement party on a boat is that it provides the perfect setting for a romantic occasion. A private space, a sunset, a good meal…what else do you need?

If you really wanted to make the most of the setting on an anniversary, for example, you could even bring an official on board to renew your vows. Maybe even a photographer — you certainly won’t regret taking some couple photos at the golden hour.

Whether you choose to share your special day with friends or just want to keep the celebration between you and your partner, a private boat charter has everything you need for an intimate, romantic time.

3. Work Events

It may not be the most personal occasion on our list, but even work events need a venue. And a boat can deliver here too.

No one says corporate events have to feel corporate, and if you want people to relax a bit and enjoy themselves, it can help to get out of a stuffy banquet hall. When you take it to the water, you have fresh air, a beautiful setting, and a place where people can just take it all in and mingle. 

You can even do team-building activities on the water, provided they are boat-friendly (maybe save the obstacle courses for your next land-based event). A private fishing charter may be an excellent fit here.

4. Family Reunions or Other Get-Togethers

Family reunions are typically about spending time together and catching up. And what better place to do that than a boat in the middle of the water?

You have everyone in the same place at the same time, and you certainly don’t have to worry about the kids running off (really, they can only get so far). It’s just dedicated family time, without distractions.

And, of course, if you run out of things to talk about, you can always just take in your surroundings, or turn your private charter. It’s likely not every day you get out on the water together.
