Planning Timeline and Logistics
Start planning 6-12 months before your date. Secure your vessel and date first, as the best yachts book quickly in summer. Three months out, finalize catering, decorations, and entertainment. In France, civil ceremonies must be at a town hall — couples typically hold a symbolic ceremony on the boat.
- ●6-12 months: choose vessel and date
- ●4-5 months: select caterer and florist
- ●2-3 months: finalize entertainment and photographer
- ●1 month: send boarding instructions to guests
Costs and Budgeting
A boat wedding on the Riviera ranges from €5,000 for an intimate half-day ceremony to over €50,000 for a full-day superyacht celebration. The yacht charter accounts for about 40% of the total budget, with catering, decorations, and entertainment making up the rest. Weekday weddings and June or September dates offer the best value.
Making It Perfect: Tips from Our Team
Work with vendors experienced in maritime events — not all caterers and florists are comfortable working on boats. Consider the boarding process for guests in formal attire. Plan a backup anchorage in case of weather changes. And most importantly, trust your professional skipper and coordinator to handle the details so you can enjoy every moment.
