Wedding Party Sunset Cruise in Palm Beach: Rehearsals, Welcome Nights, and Send-Offs

A wedding party sunset cruise in Palm Beach gives your guests one evening together before or after the big day, on a private yacht with no venue to decorate and nothing to clean up. We host rehearsal dinners, welcome cruises for out-of-town guests, and morning-after send-offs. Every cruise has a USCG-licensed captain, with fuel in the price.

Palm Beach groups board at Riviera Beach City Marina, a short drive from hotels on Palm Beach island and in downtown West Palm Beach. Call or text (561) 945-8527 to plan your date. We answer 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM, seven days a week.

 

Three Ways Wedding Groups Use the Water

  1. Rehearsal dinner cruise. The wedding party and families on one yacht, with dinner served on board and the sunset as the backdrop. Ask about boat catering.
  2. Welcome cruise. Guests fly in on Thursday or Friday, and the first night is on the water. It's an easy way for two families to meet.
  3. Send-off. A morning or midday trip the day after, with a swim stop at Peanut Island before everyone heads to the airport.

Weekend sunset cruises run 5:00 to 8:00 PM. For the exact sunset time on your date, see our sunset cruise.

A Romantic Adventure

Can the Captain Marry Us?

Here's a question most charter pages dodge. In Florida, a boat captain can't legally perform a wedding just by being the captain. State law lists who can, and that includes clergy, judges, court clerks, and notaries public.

If you want to say your vows on board, bring your own officiant and a Florida marriage license. The ceremony needs to happen in Florida waters, and the captain will plan the route to stay in them. Tell us when you book so we can talk through the boat and the guest count. Vow renewals need no license.

Which Boat Fits Your Group

  • Bridal party only, 10 to 13 guests: most of the fleet, from the 29-foot Rand to the 88-foot Warren
  • Up to 18 guests: the 26-foot party boat
  • Up to 49 guests: the 55-foot catamaran, for a full welcome night

Yachts 44 feet and up have an indoor salon. That matters for a dinner, a dress, and a breezy night. See photos on our boats.

Why Wedding Planners Book With Us

Wedding weeks run on a tight clock. A boat that leaves late or a fee that shows up at the dock causes problems for everyone. Some charters only refund weather cancellations if you bought weather protection up front. If we cancel for weather, you get a credit good for 28 months.

We've run charters in South Florida since 2001, on company-owned, insured boats. Your quote includes the captain and fuel, and gratuity is the only extra. Alcohol is welcome on board, and decorations are welcome too. Our captains and crew speak English and Spanish, which helps when both families are on the boat. We can also work with your planner or hotel concierge.

Customizeable

Wedding Cruise Pricing
