IF YOU’RE OCEAN LOVERS, A YACHT WEDDING IS A UNIQUE WAY TO TIE THE KNOT

Imagine hosting your wedding onboard a private yacht, sailing around beautiful tropical islands, with your nearest and dearest. Sail away with the wind in your hair and the salty sea air for a truly carefree and romantic affair. Yacht weddings offer a great sense of adventure – and so much more!

“The Indian Ocean and East Coast of Africa is one of the increasingly popular charter regions of the world. It offers hundreds of secluded spots to explore, fantastic weather, consistent monsoon winds that rarely exceed 20 knots, amazing marine life and coral reefs, exotic cultures, vibrant nightlife – in short, everything you dream about for a destination wedding;” said Trevor Camille, Founder of Tanzania’s Premier Yacht Charter.

Freedom & flexibility to literally go where the wind takes you

Yacht weddings provide the ultimate venue for special celebrations. Host both your ceremony and reception onboard – or stop at a secluded beach for a barefoot wedding. You can even choose to host your ceremony elsewhere before boarding for your reception. Why not also charter the yacht for your honeymoon and quite literally sail off into the sunset?

Enjoy Mother Nature’s finest

As an ocean lover you’ll enjoy the great outdoors and the freedom of the ocean, while being in an entirely private setting. Plus, the ocean’s picturesque seascapes are the perfect natural backdrop for awesome wedding photos.

On board entertainment

You’ll be warmly welcomed by an amazing crew with drinks, cocktails and canapes throughout the day, while relaxing onboard. Once on board, and the Captain has given the safety briefing and familiarisation, you’ll set sail and cruise the coast. Your ceremony will take place onboard or on a secluded beach. Dinner will be lovingly prepared and served onboard by a private chef. Feel free to explore some nearby islands or even stop for a refreshing dip. If the sound of the ocean isn’t enough, you can incorporate a DJ or musicians into your day. It’s your big day and, so you can do as you wish!

Creating unforgettable memories

Sailing away on a private yacht is quite literally a dream. To some, it will be a once in a lifetime event, so it really is something special. It also makes for incredible wedding photos with stunning natural seascapes backdrops.

Zanzibar is perfect for offering you and your guests amazing experiences. Beyond your big day you can make memories by exploring its rich culture and history, beautiful islands, award winning beaches and diving, friendly folk, and Stone Town, which is a UNESCO World Heritage site. And for those wishing to explore just that little bit further afield while visiting Zanzibar, Mount Kilimanjaro, the Serengeti, Selous, Ngorongoro Crater and other famous national safari parks are just a stone’s throw away on the mainland!

Enjoy the comfort of onboard facilities

Our yachts are like a home from home, with everything you need onboard. There are private on suite bedrooms allocated for your wedding preparations, making it easy for you to change and touch up hair & make-up. There’s a kitchen, where our private chef will prepare your food & drinks. There is also a sound system so you can enjoy your own music or get a party vibe going later in the day – and even a TV for little ones who might want entertaining. There are also sheltered and indoor areas in the case of poor weather. A yacht offers all the comfort you’ll need for a wedding out at sea.

Privacy

Yacht weddings offer you the luxury of privacy. Whether it’s just the two of you or the full gang, you’ll be able to enjoy a day of privacy without curious other guests or passerby’s milling about. You’ll be hosted by a limited crew whose entire focus will be on ensuring you and your guests enjoy this once in a lifetime experience.

What to bring

We recommend bringing a soft carry bag, sunglasses, sunscreen, a hat or cap, fans, a towel and swimsuit, soft shoes or flip-flops and light clothes, mask, snorkel and fins (optional) and a camera and binoculars in case we spot some dolphins or whales. Guests prone to sea sickness may want to consider remedies that can be taken prior to boarding.
