Why choose a wedding on a boat?

Are you looking for a unique and unconventional wedding venue? Or have you always wanted to get married on a boat, the sea all around you, with a fresh breeze blowing and your best mate by your side? Having your wedding ceremony at sea is a romantic and spectacular way to tie the knot. Here are some of the best reasons to charter a wedding cruise for your special day.

A completely unique wedding day

No two wedding cruises are the same – the weather, constantly changing views and myriad of different route options mean your wedding cruise will be absolutely original. You might have been searching for unique wedding venues or wedding venues by the sea - well, how about one that can cruise the ocean waves?

You choose the location of your ceremony. Get married on board at a peaceful and scenic spot, or choose to step ashore for a beach wedding ceremony. Always wanted to get married on an island? Book your wedding charter and we can make it happen.

It’s undeniably romantic

There’s something special about the sea. As you cruise around the Hauraki Gulf, breathing in the fresh sea air, you’ll be bewitched by the sense of freedom and adventure. From out on the water you’ll have uninterrupted views of the beautiful islands that dot the gulf, and as night falls, watch the sunset and drink it all in with your beloved by your side.

Enjoy the privacy

Charter a boat for your wedding and get away from it all. Hold your wedding ceremony in a secluded island cove or in the wide open sea – either way you’ll enjoy the feeling of splendid isolation and intimacy as you celebrate your wedding day with just your closest loved ones.

It’s a destination wedding without the hassle

An overnight wedding cruise has all the romance and excitement of a destination wedding, but without the extra travel fees! As soon as you step on board your wedding charter you’ll feel like you’re escaping the cares and stresses of daily life. Swim, kayak and snorkel with your guests, dance the night away with only the ocean to hear you and enjoy the comfort of your onboard accommodation. And after your unforgettable cruise experience, our friendly crew will return you to port in the morning – no airport delays, passport issues or luggage woes.

Your wedding photos will be stunning

As you cruise around the Waitemata Harbour and Hauraki Gulf, your photographer will be spoilt for choice with the ever-changing natural beauty around you. Have your bridal party photo shoot on board, or slip away in our run-about boat to have your pictures taken on a quiet beach – either way your photos will be absolutely unique and a wonderful reminder of your wedding day. And yes, you’re free to do the ‘Titanic pose’ if you like... but there are so many more possibilities!
