Say yes

on the water.

A private yacht where ceremonies unfold against open water and the skyline becomes your backdrop. For couples who felt nothing in every ballroom they toured.

The Wedding Day

Hour by hour,
aboard Charter.

Rehearse the evening before you arrive. Every hour has been designed — not decorated.

4:00 PM
Elegant guests holding champagne flutes on the bow of a yacht, harbor and city skyline visible in warm afternoon light

Boarding & Bow Cocktails

Guests step aboard to chilled champagne, harbor breezes, and the gentle sway of the deck beneath their feet. The city recedes before the first glass is raised.

5:30 PM
Couple exchanging vows on a yacht upper deck with city skyline and golden hour light framing the ceremony

Ceremony on the Upper Deck

The officiant faces east. You face each other. Behind you both, the skyline holds its breath. The vows carry over open water — no echo, no walls, just wind.

7:00 PM
Intimate candlelit dinner table set on a yacht interior with mahogany wood, white linens, and warm amber lighting

Dinner Below Deck

Candlelight on mahogany. The hum of the engine a low note beneath conversation. Tables set for intimacy, not spectacle — this is the meal they will describe for years.

9:00 PM
Couple dancing on a yacht deck under warm string lights with city lights reflected on the water at night

Dancing Under String Lights

The city slides past the windows like a slow film. String lights overhead, the dance floor polished to mirror-shine. The night has no ending, only a horizon.

10:30 PM
Wedding guests holding sparklers forming an archway at a dock at night, couple walking through golden light

Sparkler Send-Off at the Dock

Two lines of raised hands. Gold sparks against harbor black. The gangway returns underfoot — and the only thing left to do is remember.

Investment

Three ways to say
yes aboard Charter.

No hidden fees. No minimum bar spend. Just the yacht, the water, and your evening.

Elopement

Just the two of you and the sea.

Open House

See the yacht
before you decide.

Walk the deck. Stand at the bow. Imagine the skyline behind your officiant. Most couples book within 48 hours of their tour — because the photographs don't fully prepare you.
