Can you get married on a yacht charter?

Yes, you can get married on a yacht charter, with the legal paperwork handled ashore and the ceremony held on deck, on a beach, or at anchor in a quiet bay. A charter captain cannot usually perform a legally binding wedding, so most couples obtain the licence on land first; the BVI processes one in about three days. Because international rules cap most charter yachts at 12 guests, yacht weddings stay intimate: the couple, an officiant, and a handful of family, with larger receptions held dockside. The yacht then rolls straight into the honeymoon, which is the real appeal. Booking a charter around the ceremony date starts with a single inquiry.
