Your calendar already has the date marked. Your RSVP has been confirmed. And since it makes sense, you probably told people that you’ll soon be attending yacht party in Marina del Rey.
But the issue still stands: What are you wearing?
This is something that our clients who are organizing an event on one of our luxury boats frequently tell us at Happiest Ours Yacht Rental. It depends on the party and the time of day, is our succinct response.
Here are a few ideas to get your boat party inspiration board rolling.
What should I wear to a daytime yacht event?
It’s a terrific time to go out on the ocean when the sun is shining. Throughout the day, we’ve scheduled many parties – brunches, lunchtime events, and informal cruises – for various groups.
The dress of all guests is typically uniform. Breezy. Light. Consider linen pants or jackets, flowing dresses, polo or oxford shirts, relaxed but stylish.
This is your opportunity to dress up; leave the jeans, t-shirts, leggings, and board shorts at home and dazzle your fellow partygoers with a well-put-together ensemble.
It never hurts to wear a nautical-themed outfit (with navy stripes and gold accents) to give attention to the setting. Don’t dismiss it as gimmicky; it’s all part of the pleasure! Check out this article for 12 Ultra Cute Ways to Wear Nautical-Inspired Clothes for more nautical ideas.
We recommend flat shoes, strappy sandals, low wedges for the ladies, and traditional loafers for the males for midday yacht parties.
What should I wear to a night time yacht party?
Nighttime yacht parties are always magical, whether it’s a boat wedding, a milestone event, or a work party. From glittering lights to starry skies, prepare to be wowed the instant you step onto one of our rooftop sky decks. And that is more than enough cause to go above and beyond.
Cocktail dresses and semi-formal outfits are ideal for evening parties. Ladies, avoid wearing anything too long in case someone steps on your dress or your shoe gets snagged on the fabric. Opt for relaxed glam.
If you choose a cocktail dress, make sure it is the suitable length. Play around with statement jewelry and your favorite handbag or little shoulder bag (avoid a large tote or purse for an ultra-chic look).
Men value simplicity beyond all else. Avoid wearing a tuxedo unless the occasion calls for it.
A classic suit, dress slacks with a beautiful blazer and tie, or dress slacks with a sports coat and tie are all excellent choices. Do you know the distinction between a suit jacket, blazer, and sports coat? This Jos A Bank article explains it in detail.
Of course, if your event is a yacht wedding, you’ll need to adhere to a different set of dos and don’ts. Formal clothes is usually the norm, but you should always check with your friends who are hosting their wedding on a boat to determine if the ceremony and reception are formal or casual.
Similarly, if the event is a birthday yacht charter, inquire with the hosts to see if they are preparing a special theme that will necessitate a certain fashion statement.
What should I always bring to a yacht party?
This inquiry has two obvious answers: a light sweater or jacket (it’s usually cooler on the water) and your favorite pair of sunglasses.
Sunscreen, a stylish hat, hair ties (in case it gets too windy), and lip balm or chapstick are all good ideas.
People frequently inquire whether motion sickness medication is required. No, we don’t think so.
Our cruises are unique in that we stay in the Marina del Rey harbor and do not venture beyond the breakwater. This removes any wave activity (there are no waves), resulting in a comfortable, calm ride. Cruising these tranquil waters poses almost little risk of seasickness or motion sickness.
What should'nt you wear to a yacht party?
High heels or stilettos are perhaps the least popular item on ANY boat sail, day or night. We also advised against wearing overly casual flip-flops because the style can appear sloppy.
