Getting married on a yacht seems like an exclusive luxury reserved for only the rich and famous. In reality, it doesn?t have to be! Sure, yacht charters can be pricey but the benefits attached are well worth it, and a yacht doesn?t have to be worth millions to have said title. If you?ve ever walked by a harbor, you?ve probably seen plenty of (small) yachts in your life. Costs will vary depending on the location, type of boat, and services but there is a high likelihood that if you?re set on getting wed at sea, you?ll find something within your budget.

While this article will focus on getting married on yachts or similar large vessels, the same applies to any type of boat?even a picnic deck boat or a catamaran. So on that note, let?s look at the pros and cons of getting married on the water.

The Pros of Getting Married on a Yacht

If you?ve never given thought to getting married on any type of boat, the following points may convince you otherwise.

Convenience

take place within close proximity. This alone will not only make everything easier, but you won?t have to worry about the cost of transportation from point A to point B for your guests. In addition, if you?re willing to rent overnight, the boat can double as accommodation for your out-of-town guests, which can end up saving everyone money.
