Finding the perfect space for your wedding reception can be a lot of work, especially when it feels like the typical ballroom, country club, or barn wedding has been played out. If you’ve been searching high and low for the right spot to celebrate your nuptials and feel like you’re running out of options, consider the following reasons for choosing to host your rehearsal dinner or wedding reception aboard a boat.

Boats Offer a Unique Venue that Guests Will Never Forget

Most people have never attended a wedding at sea. They’ll talk about it for years if you want to ultimately wow your guests with an experience. A boat reception is a perfect way to do that. The Vessels we provide for our boat cruises are exceptional. Between the Charles I, Henry Longfellow, Lexington, Carousel, & Valiant, you will have a one-of-a-kind experience amongst any of these yachts. 

Gorgeous Wedding Pictures

Many traditional venues are limited when it comes to ideal spots for wedding photos, with lackluster backdrops and unpredictable natural elements depending on the season. Pictures on the water, however, will never let you down. With incredible views and the opportunity to catch a beautiful sunset, your wedding photographer will be able to capture moments that would be impossible to get on land.

Boats are Ideal for Intimate Wedding Receptions

If you’re looking to celebrate your wedding with your closest family and friends, boats provide the perfect venue space to host the ones you love the most. Working through an entire banquet hall of folks you may or may not even know can be overwhelming. And with people constantly on the move, it can be tough to catch up with all of your guests before the night is over. By hosting your reception on a boat, you’ll be able to limit your guest list to the ones you honestly would like to have in attendance and celebrate such a memorable night in an open yet intimate space.

Boat Receptions are Surprisingly Affordable

Your first instinct might be that boat weddings are more expensive than traditional venues, but that’s not necessarily the case. Like land venues, boats typically offer several package options to meet your budget and expectations. Plus, boat packages are all-inclusive, a much more cost-effective option.
