Style guide - what to wear on a yacht.

Published 11 July 2023

Ditch the excess baggage on your next superyacht holiday with this simple how-to guide to pack an elegant and practical capsule wardrobe for your superyacht stay

Whether you are cruising off for a romantic weekend on board a luxury charter yacht, stepping aboard for a family celebration, or spending the weekend basking in the Mediterranean sunshine with friends, a superyacht charter is a heady mix of glamour and barefoot luxury. So, when it comes to looking the part, what should you pack to ensure you looking effortlessly cool?

A superyacht charter demands a certain dress code that is both comfortable and stylish at the same time. This might sound simple, but ccreating a capsule wardrobe for every scenario and occasion is no mean feat when it comes to the glamorous world of yachting. However, although there are certain designer names that are synonymous with the superyacht set, it doesn’t mean it’s all designer suits and gowns – quite the opposite in fact. Here is the Burgess guide to everything you need to pack - and the luggage to pack it all in...

Clothing Essentials

The majority of superyacht cruising grounds are in warmer climates, so lightweight clothing is a necessity for both daytime and evening. The perfect daytime outfit will be suitable for just about any occasion – the whole attraction of yachting is the freedom to go anywhere you like and do anything you like at any given time. One minute you might be heading ashore for a coffee in the harbour, only to find that the cobblestone streets are lined with boutiques just waiting to be explored, or that fellow guests would like to take in a dose of culture ashore, followed by an impromptu swim in a secluded cove on the return tender journey. Being ready for every eventuality is the key to keeping your cool.

When it comes to a superyacht, swimwear is an outfit in its own right and one of the most important items to pack. For ladies looking for true, dolce vita style, a one-piece swimming costume not only looks stylish but will allow you to mess around worry-free on the watertoys, both above and beneath the surface. Meanwhile, those looking to simply bask in the Mediterranean or Caribbean sunshine and relax on deck might prefer to opt for a strapless bikini to avoid tan lines visible under the evenings attire. A selection of classically styled cover ups to wear for al fresco dining or a beachside lunch are a must, and for visits ashore a light dress, such as Heidi Klein’s Sunset maxi dress, is perfect.

For men, being in the sunshine is the perfect excuse to inject some colour into your outfit, perhaps with a nautically themed pair of swim shorts, such as Frescobol Carioca’s tailored swim shorts. For al fresco dining on board, or visits ashore, simply add a stylish linen shirt and loafers, and you will be ready for any occasion.

Evening options

From canapes and cocktails or dinner aboard to dining in the Michelin-starred restaurants and family run tavernas, every evening brings a different social activity when cruising aboard a superyacht. What to wear in the evening obviously depends on the climate of your destination, but rest assured on board a superyacht there is always an excuse to wear something glamorous. While cruising the Mediterranean, ladies might choose to wear a statement dress and elegant accessories, while the Caribbean calls for a more casual approach. Pack plenty of light and comfortable fabrics but remember to take a few warmer items too, in case the evening segues into a nightcap on the breezy aft deck, or perhaps a late-night return by tender – while out at anchor you will of course be open to the elements.

For men, evening usually calls for a smart-casual look. Pare down your summer tailoring with a stylish linen shirt, perhaps in a cotton-blend to add subtle texture. Lightweight trousers, rather than shorts, are also a must when heading ashore for dinner.

Layering options

Although the majority of cruising is in warmer climates, the sea breeze can pick up and add a chill, especially at night once the sun has set. From cover ups for the daytime, to light jumpers and wraps for the evening, clever layering, come rain or shine, is a skill. Pack several options to take you seamlessly from dawn until dusk, al fresco to inside. Whether returning from an evening ashore or getting cosy during an al fresco movie night on board, the key is to stay warm and stylish with layers. Opt for a statement scarf draped as a blanket or sumptuously wrapped around your shoulders, providing the perfect accompaniment to any outfit, while men can take a favourite sweater.

Don’t forget the accessories

You might think that you don’t need to consider shoes as barefoot chic is the only way on board, but a couple of pairs of sandals and high heels for the ladies, and loafers for the men are always an essential for excursions ashore. Although you won’t be wearing them on board, a pair of slip-on boat shoes for stepping ashore are usually perfect for men. A pair of trainers are also essential, for the on board gym or adventures ashore, and, given the glamorous surrounds of the Mediterranean cruising grounds, a pair of leather, smart shoes could also be needed when heading ashore for the evening.

Sandals for ladies are an essential for excursions to the beach or an afternoon browse around boutiques, while come the evening, a pair of heels or wedge sandals are the perfect addition to any glamorous outfit.

A superyacht wardrobe isn’t complete without a classic Panama hat. A Panama is a favourite item to take on board, but all types of hats warrant a spot in any superyacht suitcase. Not only do they provide protection from harsh UV rays, but they also keep you cool should you find yourself without shade during the hottest part of the day. A number of different options should ideally be taken, so that you can select the style to suit the weather and activity. On still days glam it up poolside with a wide brimmed straw hat, and when the wind picks up don a stylish cap, which can also be used to provide shade for that morning beach run.

Wherever you are exploring, be it in cooler climes or chartering in the Mediterranean or Caribbean, it goes without saying that a great pair of sunglasses is a superyacht wardrobe essential. Not only do they complete the superyacht look, they also provide essential protection from both UVA and UVB rays. On that note, check the UV protection – just because you might have a designer pair of glasses, a high price tag doesn’t always mean they have polarised, UV protection lenses. Take at least a couple of pairs, or even perhaps one for each deck, so that you are never caught without, and remember, a pair of chic sunglasses are the perfect finishing touch for every look. Whether you prefer cat-eye sunglasses or oversized, round-frames, square-frames or classic aviator styles, use them to liven things up a little, or add a dash of youth and vibrancy to your outfit.

Time on board means a break away from timekeeping, but although telling the time on board is incidental rather than functional, watches still have their place on the packing list. Watches are the most popular and prestigious jewellery available for men, and always add timeless glamour to ladies' attire. Fortunately, yachting has become the most prominent port of call for watchmakers and as such there is a wealth of nautical collections for both men and women. From serious submersibles to refined pieces to wear on deck, seaworthy or yacht-worthy, a watch makes a fine addition to any outfit.

Whether celebrating with cocktails on board or accessorising swimwear, earrings, bracelets and necklaces add sparkle and glamour to any outfit. From fine jewellery for evenings to layering for a luxe-vibe poolside, add some summer sparkle and enhance your outfit, day or night. Choose brightly coloured stones to bring light and warmth to the skin, or mix or clash colours, turning up your brights with vivid hues. Match the shade of your jewels to your swimsuit for a timeless and sophisticated look, and layer jewellery alongside summer dresses. Combine gold jewellery with corals and shells, as well as semi-precious stones for that cool, summer look. Top tip – sun lotion will cling to your jewellery and can dull even the brightest of diamonds, so take them off while applying sun cream, and let it soak in before replacing. Gold and diamonds worn by the pool or on the beach won’t be damaged by the elements, whereas semi-precious stones can sometimes be porous, so better to leave them to be worn in the evening.

Bags of style

Arriving in style is an important factor for many charterers and guests, and so your luggage needs to be as stylish as your outfit. Those heading off on a sailing yacht cruise should opt for soft luggage for easy stowing, while the larger motor yachts will always have space for your Goyard or Louis Vuitton case to be stowed away. Whether you opt for a deluxe luggage brand or a classically styled holdall (think Daniel Craig as James Bond), you can make a powerful statement with the stylish luggage.

Outfits that nail nautical style

Ahoy stylish gentlemen. We see you’re on the hunt for new outfit inspiration . Look no further, we’ve got just the thing. Let us introduce you to: the yacht outfit. Emphasis on the yacht in this instance. We’re not talking maritime, with its lighthouse keeper chunky knits or long yellow waterproof rubber coats. Nor are we talking pirate in this instance. Never pirate.

What we are talking about is understated, stylish warmer weather outfits that suggest the presence of wealth. Think Kendall Roy sat looking forlornly out at the Med, think dressing the part at yacht week in Croatia. Lightweight shirting, luxury materials, great shorts and the best sunglasses . All whilst the wind whips through your hair and the salt lingers in the nostrils. Let your outfit transport you, here’s how to build a yacht outfit.

Sail On, Captain

Few do understated style like Luca Faloni . That’s exactly what this yacht outfit is about. The silk cashmere zip-up adds an extra soft, lightweight layer for when the breeze hits and the sun goes in. Underneath, the shorts are a classic tailored opportunity to stay cool. The Roderer Thomas Superleggera polarised sunglasses are the brand’s take on a vintage aviator style, handcrafted from a high-quality tortoiseshell acetate.

Shop The Look

All Hands on Deck

Up next a contemporary modern yacht outfit from sustainable style brand Neem London . An outfit that is giving both yacht week and boat race. Up top we’ve got the Italian Navy flannel double pocket shirt with a collar begging to be popped. Underneath, we’d recommend the grandad collar shirt made from regenerative organic certified cotton , accented with the recycled flannel neck scarf. Subtle details that make a difference.

Anchored in Paradise

You’re off the boat for a fancy waterside dinner in a small, picturesque Riviera town. Or, you’re on a weekend break and you need an outfit for the evening. This yacht outfit works as well on a city break as on an island hopping expedition. The Pini Parma half-length placket shirt looks great tucked into the brand’s white pleated cotton trousers . Watch the sunset through the round bottle green lenses of these handsome tortoise shell frames.

Water Therapy

Aurelien know exactly how to do yacht outfit comfortably. Take the cashwool buttonless polo for instance, in this wonderful eggshell blue. As shiny as silk and soft as cashmere. Super comfortable and a warm layer that works extremely well with either a white short (pictured) or trouser. Match the colour palette to a pair of steel blue suede yacht loafers with their trademark chunky off-white sole. 

All Aboard!

Match your yacht outfit to your wrist accessories. First things first, the watch. The 44 Chrono Como from Waldor & Co is a stainless steel beauty with a deep blue sunray face, with luminous index and hands. Add a Waldor & Co icon bangle in stainless steel for a stylishly loaded wrist. Set both off against a comfortable, breathable linen shirt from Asket . The good news is it’ll get softer with wash and wear.

Seas the Day

A great yacht outfit shares a lot with great resortwear. Outfits that lend themselves to getting in and out of the water, be that pool or ocean. This one is classic yacht has docked in the bay. A beautiful camp collar shirt in soft, absorbent organic cotton terry, a classy tailored swim short and comfortable slip on espadrilles from The Resort Co .

Smooth Sailing Ahead

The polo top is a great option for a yacht outfit, spanning casual and smart with the help of a button collar. Trunk ’s Moxon short sleeve polo works well with the Doppiaa Aartio ripstop cargo shorts in navy, with their nautical-inspired decorative rope belt. To finish off an understated outfit, consider the CQP Racquet Sr leather sneaker, a minimalist white option that’s in-keeping with a classic look.

Palm Trees, Ocean Breeze

Velasca have given the Hawaiian shirt an Italian twist and we’re very much here for it. The straight fit shirt is peak yacht outfit, made from a breezy lyocell linen mix and cut for a relaxed boxy placket-free fit. Tuck it into or let it hang loose over Velasca’s Marzamemi pleated chinos , the ultimate warm weather staple. The Curlera belt is a well-crafted accessory and makes for great gifting for the sartorially-minded man.

What to Wear on a Yacht in 2023: A Smart Fashion Guide

Introduction:

Planning a yacht trip? Before you embark on your nautical adventure, you’re likely to ask yourself: what to wear on a yacht? Whether you’re attending a glamorous yacht party, cruising the open waters, or basking in the sun on the deck, dressing appropriately and stylishly is key. In this comprehensive fashion guide, we’ll navigate through the latest trends and timeless classics to help you find the perfect yacht-worthy attire. So, let’s dive in and discover what to wear on a yacht!

Opt for Nautical-Inspired Outfits:

To blend seamlessly with the maritime ambiance, consider incorporating nautical-inspired elements into your attire. Classic navy and white stripes, anchor motifs, and crisp blue hues evoke a sense of timeless elegance. Choose a Breton striped top paired with white shorts or a navy blue dress for a chic, effortless look.

Embrace Light and Breezy Fabrics:

Yacht trips often involve warm weather and plenty of sun, so it’s crucial to choose fabrics that keep you cool and comfortable. Opt for lightweight and breathable materials like linen, cotton, and silk. These fabrics allow air to circulate, ensuring you stay fresh and stylish even in the heat.

Don Stylish Swimwear:

When packing for your yacht adventure, be sure to include stylish swimwear. Opt for high-quality swimsuits that flatter your figure and make you feel confident. Classic one-pieces or trendy bikinis in vibrant colors or chic patterns are always a good choice. Don’t forget to pack a stylish cover-up or kaftan for when you’re not in the water.

Don’t Forget Sun Protection:

When it comes to what to wear on a yacht, protecting your skin from the sun’s harmful rays is essential, especially when spending long hours on a yacht. Incorporate accessories like wide-brimmed hats, sunglasses with UV protection, and lightweight scarves to shield your face and neck. Additionally, don’t forget to apply sunscreen with a high SPF to exposed areas of your skin.

Choose Comfortable Footwear:

Opt for footwear that balances comfort and style. Deck shoes, boat shoes, or espadrilles are excellent choices for their non-slip soles and maritime aesthetics. If you prefer sandals, opt for ones with good arch support and secure straps. Avoid high heels as they can be impractical and unsafe on a moving yacht.

Layer Up with Versatile Pieces:

Yacht trips often entail varying weather conditions, so it’s wise to bring versatile clothing items that can be layered. Lightweight cardigans, wraps, or linen shirts can be easily thrown over your outfit if the weather gets cooler or for protection against evening breezes.

Dress Smartly for Evening Affairs:

If you’re attending a yacht party or planning a special evening event on board , embrace a more sophisticated attire. Opt for elegant cocktail dresses, tailored linen suits, or stylish jumpsuits. Remember to choose breathable fabrics to ensure your comfort throughout the night.

Conclusion:

When it comes to what to wear on a yacht, striking a balance between style, comfort, and practicality is key. Nautical-inspired outfits, light and breathable fabrics, stylish swimwear, and sun protection essentials should be at the top of your packing list. Additionally, comfortable footwear and versatile layering pieces will ensure you’re prepared for any weather conditions. By following this fashion guide, you’ll be ready to sail the seas in style, exuding confidence and elegance during your yacht adventure!

Yacht Outfit Guide: Classy and Chic Maritime Adventure

Triston Brewer

Posted on: August 23, 2023

Attending a yacht party calls for a blend of sophisticated style and relaxed elegance, capturing the essence of the nautical setting while ensuring your comfort and confidence.

Whether envisioning a glamorous sunset cocktail party, a leisurely sunbathing session, or a serene exploration of hidden coves, curating the perfect yacht ensemble becomes an art.

This guide navigates the realm of yacht fashion, offering insights and inspiration to ensure you’re impeccably dressed for every moment of your nautical experience.

From chic essentials that capture the essence of oceanic elegance to tips on selecting attire that harmonizes with both sea and sky, the following are the style essentials to elevate your yacht experience to unparalleled heights.

Yacht settings generally adhere to a semi-formal dress code, implying that items like shorts, flip-flops, or t-shirts are best avoided. Instead, consider selecting slacks or khakis for men; sundresses, jumpsuits, or skirts are excellent choices for women.

When in doubt about your attire, it’s preferable to lean towards a more polished appearance rather than a casual one.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

When dressing for a yacht outing, opt for a nautical-inspired ensemble. Consider wearing a crisp white shirt paired with tailored shorts, boat shoes or espadrilles, and a sun hat.

This classic look combines comfort and style, suitable for both genders, while capturing the essence of a yacht setting.

Before finalizing your outfit for the boat party, there are a couple of factors to consider, with the first being the prevailing weather conditions. If the temperature is soaring, opting for lightweight and breathable fabrics is paramount.

Donning stylish swimsuits is integral to yacht party attire, accompanied by chic cover-ups and delicate, breezy dresses or shorts. By skillfully coordinating these elements, you can effortlessly master the art of yacht-worthy fashion.

However, in the event of cooler temperatures, ensuring you’re well-insulated is imperative. Being caught unprepared amidst the vast ocean during fall or winter could prove quite uncomfortable.

Moreover, regardless of the schedule, having a sweatshirt or a light denim jacket at the ready is prudent, particularly when the night descends.

The maritime environment can turn quite chilly after sunset, especially during the colder months.

Furthermore, your outfit choice should be tailored to the specific activities planned aboard the yacht. If your plan revolves around leisurely moments on the boat’s deck, a combination of shorts and a T-shirt layered over a stylish bikini is likely suitable.

However, should water sports be part of the agenda, selecting attire that remains relatively dry and light prevents any undue discomfort caused by excess moisture.

Lastly, take into consideration the overarching ambiance of the yacht setting. For a laid-back gathering, opting for a more relaxed outfit is acceptable.

However, if the occasion leans towards a more refined tone, it’s essential to align your attire accordingly.

Midi or maxi dresses and stylish rompers and jumpsuits are excellent choices that seamlessly blend sophistication with style.

Essential attire for women at a yachting event includes cover-ups, tunics, kaftans, and dresses with a fluid, breezy quality. These pieces harmonize seamlessly with swimwear, offering both a stylish layer and a means of keeping cool and comfortable.

Opting for a maxi or lace cover-up exudes an elevated charm, while selecting a sundress cover-up or a romper lends a more relaxed aura. For everyday yacht wear, consider the practicality of linen dresses and side tie skirts, both of which effortlessly complement the maritime experience.

No looks exudes the maritime quite like a cover-up, and these lightweight garments serve as a stylish and functional layering option when transitioning between water-based activities and lounging on the beach or on a yacht. Cover-ups are typically made from materials like chiffon, cotton, linen, or lightweight knits, which make them breathable and comfortable in warm weather. Moreover, cover-ups offer protection from the sun’s rays while maintaining an air of sophistication. The following are common cover-ups for women:

With their loose and flowing silhouettes, tunics further amplify a great seaside look. They often feature intricate designs, embroidery, or patterns and can be made from lightweight materials like cotton, linen, or sheer fabrics.

Tunics provide coverage for the upper body while allowing air to circulate, keeping you cool. Their effortless charm pairs well with the nautical backdrop, allowing women to exude both comfort and elegance.

Kaftans are loose-fitting, maxi-length dresses with wide sleeves, often made from flowing fabrics like chiffon, silk, or lightweight cotton. Kaftans can be quite elegant and are popular for their bohemian vibe. They offer women full coverage and the ultimate in  comfort during warm weather.

Slay it with a sarong!

Typically made from lightweight, quick-drying materials like rayon or silk, sarongs are versatile pieces of fabric that can be wrapped around the waist like a skirt, tied as a halter dress, or used as a shawl. Sarongs are easy to pack and provide coverage while allowing flexibility in styling.

Inspired by traditional Japanese clothing, kimonos are open-front, flowing garments that often feature vibrant prints and patterns and are made from lightweight materials.

Kimonos are distinctive, add a touch of elegance, and can be worn over swimsuits or paired with shorts and tops.

Oversized Shirts

For a more casual approach, an oversized button-up shirt can be worn as a cover-up. It’s a versatile option that can be worn open or buttoned up, offering coverage and protection from the sun.

Play up the look with vibrant colors or intricate patterns for an engaging yacht style.

Is a cocktail dress a suitable choice for women?

For occasions leaning towards the more refined end of the spectrum, a sophisticated yacht party might very well warrant the selection of a cocktail dress, or in rarer instances, an elegant gown. The cocktail dress code, being slightly less formal than full evening wear, aligns well with such gatherings’ relaxed yet stylish atmosphere.

Ideally, the event’s formality level will be communicated beforehand, but exceptions do exist.

When the ambiance is less formal than a boat wedding, alternative options like wide-legged pants, rompers, or wrap skirts can be considered. Attire resembling what you would choose for a beach or poolside gathering would also be fitting.

An essential consideration when attending any yacht event is the choice of footwear. It’s advisable to steer clear of heels – opting for flat shoes is a safer and wiser choice to ensure a comfortable and accident-free experience.

Yacht Shoe Ideas for Women

Accessorizing

Donning both hats and sunglasses is entirely fitting aboard a yacht, and they provide an added shield against the sun’s rays, which is undoubtedly beneficial.

Not only will you seamlessly blend in, but you’ll also be safeguarding your eyes and skin from potentially harmful UV exposure. Including sunscreen in your essentials is equally crucial to ensure comprehensive protection.

Amongst men, the favored ensemble for yacht journeys in motion often comprises a breezy, lightweight linen shirt, offering both comfort and composure throughout the excursion. Naturally, a pair of swim shorts is indispensable, ensuring you’re perpetually prepared for impromptu dips.

Completing the ensemble, opt for casual boat shoes that complement your yacht attire seamlessly.

Stylish sunglasses are essential to the maritime look as a vital accessory, effectively shielding your eyes from the sun’s glare.

While specific occasions may necessitate more refined apparel, such as dinner parties, these suggestions primarily focus on curating a laidback, relaxed aesthetic.

Linen button-downs stand as the preferred choice for men while onboard due to their lightweight and breathable nature.

They have long been associated with boating, ensuring a harmonious fit within a yacht environment. Light cotton options also offer similar advantages, with items like polo shirts seamlessly blending into a crowd.

Even a well-chosen t-shirt can find its place, though appropriateness should be tailored to the context. However, a slightly elevated appearance may be preferable for slightly more formal outings or celebratory gatherings.

A great pair of tailored pants are a definite option for a day or night out on a yacht. Linen pants , chinos, or loose slacks are all versatile enough for any event.

Yet, a reliable pair of shorts proves invaluable if the yacht’s purpose involves active endeavors like fishing or sailing.

These offer comfort and freedom and ensure readiness for any unforeseen water-related situations.

In the realm of yacht wear, swim shorts emerge as a particularly pertinent item, given the likelihood of aquatic escapades. Whether you find yourself plunging into the Mediterranean or relaxing a jacuzzi, shorts are a pragmatic must-have.

Be it for leisure or the potential of an emergency scenario requiring a swift swim, swim shorts serve both purposes seamlessly.

Ensuring both security and comfort, boat shoes are an indispensable inclusion for any yacht experience as they prevent unwanted slipping on the deck. Sometimes referred to as deck shoes, they closely resemble loafers but include laces for added practicality.

For more relaxed outings, some opt for flip flops, which can be suitable for casual days spent with friends.

Accessories

Wearing sunglasses aboard a yacht transcends mere fashion, assuming the role of a vital shield against the sun’s unyielding glare and potentially harmful UV rays. As you sail on a maritime journey, these shades emerge as a reliable companion, diligently safeguarding your eyes from discomfort and potential long-term harm.

Whether you’re leisurely absorbing the sun’s warmth or actively engaging in water-based thrills, sunglasses exude an undeniable air of refined elegance, effortlessly elevating your yacht ensemble.

What Is Suitable to Wear to a Yacht Party?

Crafting the perfect attire for a yacht party involves a skillful equilibrium among comfort, style, and functionality, seamlessly embracing the maritime setting.

Embracing an effortlessly chic and laid-back approach, the careful curation of your outfit can significantly enrich your voyage across the waves.

Deciding on fabrics that prioritize breathability and lightness, such as linen or cotton, ensures your ease amidst the sea breeze. In the backdrop of daytime gatherings, a palette of soft and pastel hues, including serene blues and delicate pastels, imparts an invigorating and lively ambiance.

Opting for a versatile piece like a fashionable sundress, coupled with boat shoes that perfectly balance comfort and trendiness, encapsulates the essence of casual sophistication.

As twilight descends and the festivities extend into the evening, embracing darker shades introduces an element of refinement, harmonizing with the fading sunlight.

The thoughtful inclusion of tasteful accessories, like a wide-brimmed hat for enhanced sun protection and stylish sunglasses that shield your eyes and accentuate your maritime charisma, further elevate your ensemble.

Ultimately, the crux lies in aligning your attire with the occasion’s level of formality, while never compromising on comfort, and embodying an aesthetic that mirrors the serene allure of open waters.

Final Considerations

Embracing a fusion of refinement and casual ease emerges as a simple and effective strategy when considering yacht attire. While certain occasions might warrant a subtle refinement, the extent of this shift hinges upon the unique event and the preferences of the hosts.

Give precedence to fabrics like linen and other lightweight options to optimize comfort. An indispensable element to include is a pair of boat shoes, guaranteeing stability on the deck. Additionally, ensure you don’t neglect key essentials such as swimsuits and vital sun protection gear, which notably includes sunglasses.

What to Wear to a Boat Party: Ultimate Guide for a Stylish Yacht, Komodo Boat, and Cruise Party

Hi, Party People, Planning to attend a boat party and unsure what to wear? Whether it’s a luxurious yacht party, an adventurous Komodo boat party , or a sophisticated cruise party, dressing the part is essential for making a stylish statement while staying comfortable. In this guide, we’ll provide you with fashion tips and outfit ideas, ensuring you look fabulous for any boat party occasion.

Table of Contents

Factors to Consider When Choosing Your Boat Party Outfit

The weather plays a crucial role in determining your boat party outfit. For tropical destinations like Komodo or summer yacht parties, opt for lightweight, breathable fabrics such as cotton, linen, or silk. These materials will keep you cool and comfortable even in hot and muggy conditions. For cooler climates or evening events, layering is key. A stylish wrap, light jacket, or shawl can provide warmth without sacrificing style.

Example: If you’re heading to a Komodo boat party during the day, a flowy sundress or a pair of linen shorts with a breezy blouse would be perfect. For an evening yacht party in cooler weather, consider layering a chic blazer over a cocktail dress.

Theme and Formality

Boat parties can range from casual to formal. Pay attention to the event’s theme and dress code to ensure your outfit is appropriate. Formal cruise parties may require cocktail attire, while casual Komodo boat parties may call for relaxed and vibrant ensembles.

Example: A formal cruise party might have a black-tie theme, where a floor-length gown or a tailored suit would be appropriate. Conversely, a tropical-themed Komodo boat party would encourage bright colors, floral prints, and casual attire.

Comfort and Safety

Comfort is key, especially on a boat. Choose outfits that allow easy movement and consider footwear with non-slip soles to prevent accidents on deck. Avoid overly tight or restrictive clothing that might hinder your enjoyment of the event.

Example: Choose a jumpsuit that povides ease of movement or a skirt that allows you to walk comfortably around the boat. Opt for shoes with good grip, such as boat shoes or sandals with rubber soles.

Boat Party Outfit Ideas for Women

Casual yacht party.

For a laid-back yacht party, go for chic yet comfortable options that reflect your personal style.

Sundresses : Opt for light, flowy sundresses in bold prints or pastel shades. A-line or fit-and-flare dresses are both flattering and comfortable.

Rompers and Jumpsuits : These one-piece wonders offer style and convenience. Choose a romper in a fun print or a jumpsuit in a solid color for an effortless look.

Footwear : Opt for wedges or elegant flats to avoid tripping hazards on the boat. Metallic or embellished shoes can add a touch of elegance to your outfit.

Floral Prints : Go for tropical floral prints and bright colors that reflect the lively atmosphere. Dresses, skirts, or tops with floral patterns are perfect choices.

Deck Shoes : Designed for boating, offering grip and style. They are versatile and can be worn with both casual and smart-casual outfits.

Loafers : A versatile option for both casual and formal events. Choose leather or suede for a polished look.

Sneakers : Stylish and comfortable, perfect for more relaxed settings. Opt for clean, minimalist designs in neutral colors.

Final Tips and Etiquette

Layer Up : Bring a light jacket or wrap for cooler evenings. Choose one that complements your outfit and adds an extra layer of style.

Sun Protection : Don’t forget sunscreen to protect your skin. Look for a broad-spectrum SPF and reapply throughout the day.

Respect the Dress Code : Adhere to the event’s theme and formality level. Dressing appropriately shows respect for the host and the occasion.

Stay Hydrated : Keep hydrated, especially at daytime parties. Drink plenty of water and avoid excessive alcohol consumption.

Attending a boat party, whether it’s a yacht party, Komodo boat party , or cruise party, calls for stylish yet practical attire. By considering the weather, theme, and comfort, you can choose the perfect outfit that ensures you look and feel great. Remember to accessorize appropriately and opt for non-slip footwear for safety.

30 Boat Party Outfits for Men That Are Stylish Yet Practical

A boat party is one of the most expensive festivities. That said, you may be required to wear slightly fancier outfits instead of your usual go-to party getups.

The catch is that not all boat parties are created equal. Some give you the leeway to dress in slightly less formal outfits. And others allow you to decide on your own. But most boat parties are particular with dress code and style rules. And this is common in the most elite cruise parties.

So if you’ve been invited, you don’t have a choice but to adhere to these simple yet tricky key pointers.

Tips When Going On Boat Trips

• Colors . Look for garments in pale and ocean blue, beige, white, etc. Your color combos should give off the vibe you’re holiday-ready. Stick to vibrant and primary colors when attending evening events.
• Fabric . With just one glance at you, they should feel that you’re taking the venue and occasion well. For one, your fabric should have a resort feel to it. Invest in French button-down linen and a crisp white shirt.
• Accessories . These little guys will separate you from the crowd. Use them to take your looks to the next level. Start with sunglasses and silk scarves in paisley prints, to name a few. I would also say “yes” to linen pocket squares.
• Wear nautical overalls . The nautical style is not about trends alone. The point here is that you have to have a particular aesthetic when going out for a boat trip.
• Sunblock . Pack a lotion with sunscreen protection. Unless you want those sunburns to get in the way, put sunblock on your checklist.

What To Avoid

• Form-fitting outfits. Expect that you’ll be spending most of your time sitting on the boat. That said, choose clothes that won’t keep you from moving. Mind that you should be comfortable enough to enjoy your trip. Stay away from tight and very short garments.
• Overpacking . Overdressing is one thing, and overpacking is another. Remember that it’s a hassle to bring lots of unnecessary, heavy items with you. It might ruin the fun.
• Boots . Save them for your winter dates and autumn photoshoots. Go for loafers and sneakers, instead. Flip-flops and sandals will do as well, as long as the setting permits.

Boat Party Outfit Ideas

We’ve already talked about the regular Boating Outfits for Men but we felt like boat parties required a special post. It’s not called a “boat party” for nothing. And it’s not every day you attend one, so make the most out of it. Like with other events and festivities, try to adhere to the theme in the best way possible. But this doesn’t mean you will go overboard.

↓ 30 – Polo Shirt

One step ahead from your daily basic tee – a polo shirt! Having a few of these in your closet is very helpful. They are essential members of your wardrobe. Stack your pile with black, navy blue, and white polo shirts. For boat trips, pair a white polo with blue nautical-themed shorts.

↓ 29 – Check Shirt

A flannel or a check shirt looks good over the water. I would recommend that you stick to minimal designs. Overkill styles might ruin the fun. Pair it with a dark-coloured bottom, and voila! When it’s hot, don’t forget to roll up your sleeves.

↓ 28 – Casual

If they are not strict with the dress code, that’s great news! But don’t take it so lightly. At the very least, consider how you match the colours. For starters, stick to contrasting colours and solid hues. Try not to create a color combo that is a sight for an eyesore. Take a look at Froy Guttierez’s outfit: a stone blue tee paired with indigo board shorts.

↓ 27 – Polka Dots

It’s not a bad idea to play with prints and patterns once in a while. For one, you can do some polka-dotted shorts to show some perkiness. Wear them with a crepe pink polo shirt, and finish off the look with some sunglasses.

↓ 26 – Tailored Shorts

You might no longer be surprised to see lots of blue-and-white combos in this post. Let’s just say that they are regular members of the club. For one, a navy blue polo shirt looks great with cream or off-white chinos.

↓ 25 – Simple And Classy

↓ 24 – Colorful and Playful

This is just another way to be cheerful, so why waste it? Express it through your outfits by wearing flashy colours. You can start with bright hues like yellow, orange, and red. And if you’re up for something all-out, a rainbow-inspired garment is for you!

↓ 23 – Windbreaker

Jackets and coats are one thing, but windbreakers are another! This is your best companion during chilly night boat parties. Expect that you’re going to need one of these in winter and fall. For your convenience, opt for products made of materials that can stand the rigours of any weather condition.

↓ 22 – Striped Outfit

If you have a vertically striped shirt, pair it with white chinos. Finish off the look with some blue boat shoes to complement the overall style. No socks are needed! A statement belt would help to elevate your ensemble. Rolling up the sleeves would also add up to your fashion game.

↓ 21 – Yacht Club Attire

Strive to look preppy as much as possible when you are headed for a yacht club party. Your essentials for this look are an unstructured blazer, a tie, and a crisp white button-down ironed to perfection. Pay attention to minor yet crucial details — collars must be stiff, and your hairstyle should be on point. Your best bet: go for a slicked-back style.

↓ 20 – Neckerchief

A neckerchief is a worthy addition to the team. It can amp up your ensemble, no matter how simple it is. Red is your best bet here, but black will do just the same. Consider color coordination before wearing this ornament. Also, it’s called “neckerchief” for a reason, so don’t tie it somewhere else. 

↓ 19 – Sunglasses

If a boat trip is your thing, sunglasses are part of your essentials. As funny as it sounds, you can’t last a day without them. Being stylish aside, functionality will matter, especially in summer when the sun can get bright, and its heat might burn your face and eyes. Consider yourself warned!

↓ 18 – Panama Hat

Grab your Panama hats and brim hats for summer and spring. For winter and fall, keep your beanies close.

↓ 17 – Pocket square

Be it single or square fold — you recognize a pocket square when you see one. It has the same effect as neckerchieves — both of them can do some color pop. Having one pocket square or two is a great idea. Let’s say your outfit is missing something, then this little piece of clothing could help. 

↓ 16 – Statement Belt

The rule of thumb here is to pair it with simple outfits. Avoid combining too many colours to avoid clashing. This can easily catch others’ attention, so be careful in choosing the design as it can make or break your outfit. Spice up your look and choose a bright color. It would pop and let it be the focal point of your outfit.

↓ 15 – White Pants

A boat trip is relaxing, and your choice of trousers shouldn’t say otherwise. Go for less or unstructured linen trousers in navy or cream.

↓ 14 – Seersucker

Seersucker or “railroad stripe,” is a thin fabric made of 100% cotton. This look is perfect for sailing, and it makes an outfit more interesting. If you find your fit boring, then it’s time to grab that seersucker to make some magic!

↓ 13 – Jacket

Ditch the heavy types, and opt for lightly tailored ones. Jackets or blazers are a great way to experiment with bolder patterns and textures. Here’s my detailed guide on Types of Jackets for Men & How to Them.

↓ 12 – Shorts

It’s most likely that boat trips are held in summer. And that entails the leeway to don above-the-knee clothes like shorts. Longer or baggier styles will make the proportion seem off.

↓ 11 – Mandarin Collar

Not your ordinary button-down! The shirt’s distinct collars called “mandarin” make the shirt more interesting. And see how the absence of typical collars makes a difference. Wear it with chinos or jeans, and don’t forget to cuff them. Now, this may not be for every man. If you don’t feel like it, stick to your typical white shirts.

↓ 10 – Crisp White Shirt

Think of a boat party as your first date. Dress as preppy as you can, but try not to look so formal, though. A crisp white shirt is a surefire way to start. Pair it with some trousers in blue: navy or Aegean are recommended for such a setting. Never leave your shirt untucked as it would look sloppy, which will therefore ruin the preppy look.

↓ 9 – All-White Boat Party Outfits

Nothing beats the versatility of white for its classic look. I mean, no one’s ever been a laughingstock for being in an all-white outfit. Just be careful not to overdo it. A helpful tip: break the dullness by incorporating other contrast colours like brown or black. And you can do it through your footwear or accessories.

↓ 8 – Cruise Party Outfit Ideas

If your cruise party is rather casual, wear a crisp white shirt (preferably linen for summer and spring). Your usual Oxford button-down would do just as fine. Team it up with some chino shorts. 

↓ 7 – Footwear Choice

Choose from loafers, boat shoes, and flip-flops. Sneakers are also acceptable, but it would be on a case-to-case basis. But not all boat parties accept them per the dress code. If unsure, leave them at the streetwear scene. Avoid any type of boots at all costs – save them for your winter dates.

↓ 6 – For Plus-Size Men

Wear anything you want. But if you want to look less broad just a little bit, opt for vertical stripes. Flannels are also your best bet. Ditch lousy and baggy fits as they will make you appear bigger. Simple fashion tricks like tucking in your shirt your pants will help you achieve a fashion-forward look. 

↓ 5 – For Mature Men

Older men should stick to solid hues and contrast colours as much as possible. As we know it, brighter shades don’t look good in all adult gents. So when in doubt, opt for black, blue, and white. Leave brown for your accessories like belts and shoes.

↓ 4 – For Skinny Men

Not that it’s wrong to be skinny. But if you want to look slightly broader, opt for horizontal stripes. Also, men with slim body types steer clear of ill-fitting clothes. And it’s important to be aware of your body measurements.

↓ 3 – For Short Guys

Short guys should look for vertical stripes. The style rules for plus-size gents apply here. Take note that check shirts look great in shorter men as well. And at any cost, avoid oversized shirts and below-the-knee shorts. You can also cuff your pants and roll up the sleeves to create some lengthening effect.

↓ 2 – Monochrome

To get this style right, team up outfits of a similar shade together. And do not go overboard by pushing yourself to wear clothes with the same shades. Double denim is also a big no-no.

↓ 1 – Minimalist

If you are a fan of minimalism, wear the simplest outfit combos you can think of. For starters, the fewer prints and patterns your clothes have, the better. And leave those unnecessary accessories at home.

I hope you liked these picks. If you’re still confused, that’s okay. Don’t beat yourself up. And don’t forget that it often comes down to how you pair your outfits. 

Never overlook the fit and fabric as they are essential building blocks of your wardrobe. Also, colours and prints would say a lot about your getup. Mix, match, and try every combo you can think of. It’s not a crime to experiment and explore.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of shoes should you wear on a boat.

A. Never compromise the quality of your footwear. Don’t overlook the functionality and durability. Mind that not all branded clothes are gonna meet your expectations. It’s a plus if you have these in your arsenal. But when shopping for new, look for the following:

• Plastic Sneakers
• Water Shoes
• Sailing Boots
• Barefoot and Flip-flops

Q. Can I wear crocs on a boat?

A. The company itself claims that its boat shoes are engineered with comfort, style, and functionality. It’s an advantage for people fond of going on boat trips and parties alike.

Q. What do men wear to a boat party at night?

A. Consider it a black-tie event or gala and abide by the style rules. First, opt for a dark suit and match it with some polished black dress shoes. Steer clear of polo shirts, khakis, and boat shoes in the meantime. Tuxes are also suitable, provided you know how to style them right.

The Sailor's Style Guide: How to Dress at a Yacht Club

If you've been invited to a casual yacht club rendezvous, you'll need the right threads to fit in.  in this guide, we'll walk you through the yacht club attire you'll need to fit in. hint: you can find the perfect outfit head to toe with castaway.

You've been invited to a meal or event at a local yacht club, but you've never been to one before. Suddenly, the panic sets in. What should you wear? Fortunately, there are lots of options and visiting a yacht club does not mean you have to spend a lot of money just to fit in. This post will give you some pointers on yacht club attire so that you feel neither under nor overdressed, and can really enjoy yourself and have a great time at the club.

Before you even think about what to wear, check to see if the yacht club you're going to has a dress code posted online. Most of them do, and the rules can vary from club to club. The Nantucket Yacht Club , for example, requires semi-formal attire for its dinners and cocktail attire including ties for men during its dinner dances and balls. The Hyannis Yacht Club goes into a little more detail. It accepts stylish casual wear including clean, neat jeans and shorts for lunch. For dinner, guests are expected to step it up by leaving the denim at home and wearing sports coats. Different areas of a club may also have different dress rules. Bars and outdoor decks tend to more lax and allow casual clothing.

Sometimes, the easiest way of narrowing down what to wear is to eliminate what you should not wear. This is just a partial list of how not to show up at any kind of yacht club unless you want to be denied admittance or receive a lot of disapproving glares. All rules listed apply to the inside of the club, and can vary for beach and dock rulings.

Flip Flops or Going Barefoot: This rule applies INSIDE the club, or for any meal time. Most people love the beach, but going barefoot is not only unacceptable, but unhygienic.

You'll want to wear appropriate footwear such as sturdy sandals or closed toe shoes. While a lot of children and adults love their flip-flops, they may be a little too casual for a yacht club atmosphere. The most popular choice here is a boat shoe style but a bridle bit driver is always appropriate - check the latest . The lightly worn leather and pencil-curled laces fit the bill in the cool department.

Torn, Stained, or Worn Clothing: Any attire that is showing signs of wear such as rips, stains that never came out, holes, missing buttons, etc. should be left at home.

Baseball Caps and Other Hats: Most yacht clubs prefer that men remove their caps when inside the venue. Save them for the sailing excursions.

Extra points on the water if you rock the Club’s Burgee on the hat!

Swimwear: Just a no-no. Save it for the boat and the beach. A cover-up can be acceptable for the patio.

Going Shirtless: Nope!

Undershirts as Shirts: See above. You may also want to be careful about choosing a t-shirt, particularly one with graphics, when visiting a yacht club. Most prefer that you wear a collared shirt, even if it's a casual one such as a polo shirt.

Tank tops for men and any tank tops for women that are skimpy and don't hide undergarments should be saved for another occasion.

Women have a lot of options when it comes to visiting a yacht club. Linen and cotton make the perfect summer blouses. A light but structured Sleeveless Top paired with a  sweater is perfect for warding off cool sea breezes when you're out on the deck. A polo or collared shirt works well for the yacht club scene as well. You can also consider a dressy blouse that has a little bit of flounce to it. If shorts are allowed for the time and area of the club you're visiting, consider sporting  Sailing  shorts  with a cute anchor embroidery. They're cool, classy, and show off just the right amount of leg. Casual skirts and dresses are perfectly fine as well as long as they're not too short and revealing. If you're attending a party at a yacht club you may need to wear a nice cocktail dress, or a classic Tunic Dress for a day event. Special events such as balls and dinner dances usually specify what is appropriate attire on the invitation.

Don't forget to have fun with accessories! A straw handbag can complete a nautical themed look.

For most casual yacht club occasions, men can't go wrong with a collared shirt and long pants or Cisco Shorts . Pastel and preppy shades such as summer green, hurricane red, and islander blue rule here.

When casual attire is allowed, collared sport or polo shirts are always in fashion. Seersucker and linen shirts are available in several colors and patterns for summer club get-togethers. If jeans are not allowed, seersucker or cotton canvas pants are still casual and comfortable yet dressy enough for all areas of a yacht club. If you really want to show your love of nautical dressing, consider wearing a fun Embroidered Pant !

Or you can opt for solid pants but add some nautical flair with an embroidered belt . Classic summer staples like Seersucker and Madras Patches will make you the talk of the Club, in a good way!

For those chilly sea breezes and evenings, a quarter zip pullover wards off the cool air while keeping you stylish and casual.

It's a good idea to keep a sportcoat and a few ties in your closet just in case the yacht club you're visiting requires it. Opt for a fun all over embroidered jacket, or a Madras Patchwork style to really up your game.

Kids' clothing should conform to the same yacht club rules as established for grown-up guests. If you really want your son to look cute, consider dressing him in the same matching outfit as dad.

Whether you're looking to make a splash with yacht club attire or just want to look good on the boat or while meeting with friends, we have the seaside looks that you'll look and feel wonderful in for men, women, and children.

Yachty by Nature

Yacht rock outfits, yacht rock outfits 101.

Whether you just discovered the art of smooth or been digging smooth soft rock for a while now, the subject of Yacht Rock Outfits is on your mind. Let me just say, for those about to dock, we salute you. There is an unmistakable moment when Yacht Rock is revealed to you. For me, it happened at a fancy industry party in LA. This fab girl came up and mic dropped it so smoothly to my then 80’s band, Neon Nation , saying “you guys play any yacht rock”? Holy crap, I pretty much spit out my drink and fell to the floor wondering what I was in for.

“You walked in to the party, like you were walking onto a yacht.”

Yachty Attire

The rest is history and I’m now well into 7 years of playing keyboards in a nationally successful yacht rock band, Yachty by Nature . No doubt, I’m living that dream and it goes without saying, I’m deep in the yacht myself. With weekly yacht party after monthly yacht wedding and more, I’m becoming a Yacht Attire expert in thought and practice and already guiding the band and others in this area of fashion.

Truly, if you get the clothing right, enough people with that common goal, just add yacht music and the fun ensues. Truth be told, I’ve watched as a room full of punk rockers that committed to the groovy, eclectic yacht rock dress code transformed like you wouldn’t believe.  They turned a simple celebration with a yacht rock band into a full scale 1978 throwback LOVE FEST and the clothes were off the hook. The energy, the vibe, the clothes, the music became something so magical all its own. Build the yacht and they will sail to it.

So, next time you are having a yacht party or watching your favorite yacht rock band indulge yourself with an epic outfit that will make all it happen. It’s not just the music, the band, the vibe, the look, the energy. It’s the sum of its parts and those smooth outfits have the mighty power to transfix your situation.

The Captain’s Hat…

Yep, you guessed it, the fastest coronation to yacht rock royalty is the Captain’s Hat.  Buy one, make one, bedazzle one or borrow one. In fact, the sky is the limit here so let your creativity reign if you are gonna go for it.  But, just get one somehow, some way and you are on the yacht. In fact, Broner makes a very comfortable, quality, straightforward and good looking hat that fits well.  Additionally, it avoids the cheap fit and look of those basic hats on Amazon. Do yourself a favor, get a hat or dig deep in the vault and find a classic, vintage, or authentic captain’s hat online. Additionally, we’ve seen some pretty cool and unique creations out there, but for simplicity, fit, and value, Broner is the answer.  Lastly, remember what Hefner did for the captains hat!

Yacht Rock Stripes get it done…

No matter what color, stripes will be the 2nd easiest way to begin your yacht fashion transformation. Put on a red and white striped shirt (or blue or black mainly) and you’ll be sailing in no time. In fact, stripes are probably the #1 most sighted outfit at a yacht rock party. Just know that it’s only the start. When you accessorize over the stripes with a complementary pant color or scarf, ascot, belt, and obviously the captain’s hat or more, you’ve earned your captain’s bars quicker than you can say Ship Shape! Don’t forget to keep it simple, too much or conflicting stripes will sink that ship just as fast.

That 70’s look…

Gettin’ Yachty @ Costello’s in Mission Viejo

Due to the strong connection between the silly, the goofy, the fun and the yacht party, going retro will set a course for adventure. Call it the Ron Burgundy effect or just throwing back to the 1977 duds they wore on Midnight Special , this look is uber sexy and may attract the opposite sex faster than any other yacht look. In fact, you don’t have to look too far to find polyester or denim clad jean meat at many yacht rock concerts. Additionally, the fake mustache works wonders whether you go 70’s vintage or any different yachty outfit.  More importantly, get bonus points on your yacht rock outfits if you can get the feathered hair going!  Polyester, print shirts, and for the ladies, buy that disco dress and some fabulous glasses and you’re ready to yacht!

The Yacht Club, Tennis Club, Golf Club…

Think Caddyshack, Marina del Rey, golfing, the harbor, and tennis. Moreso, put a tennis sweater over that polo or even better go up the ladder and put on that navy blue blazer with an ascot and some yellow glasses. Actually, that’s the calling card for us in Yachty by Nature! Pretend that you’re christening the Flying Wasp or dropping anchor with Rodney Dangerfield in Caddyshack and you’ll be flying indeed. Or even better, watch Caddyshack to get in the mood for your party and let inspiration take hold…and even a few classic movie lines. In fact, if you look around the golf club or yacht club scenes, your creativity is sparked immediately.  The outfits jump right off the screen and wreak of Yacht Club greatness.  Speaking of movies, we’ve even seen a die hard Yachty arrive in the Goldie Hawn outfit from the movie Overboard. Keep your yacht rock outfits classy San Diaaaaaago!

Go Hawaiian on your Yacht Rock outfits…

Get Nauti !

Lastly, this category is a catch all for everything nautical, yachty, and seaworthy.  Use your imagination or stick to the basics.  You can don the captain’s outfit with shoulder bars easily for the Love Boat vibe.  Or, you can just look like Charlie’s Angels coming off a yacht in 1978.  Literally any type of ocean, beach, seaside, or otherwise yachty type of clothing will do.  The scarf around the neck, the boat shorts and the Nantucket red pants and plaid shirt all qualify as supremely yachty fashion.  When in doubt, check yourself by asking, “would I wear this outfit in the summer in Nantucket or Martha’s Vineyard?”  Most importantly, if the answer is yes, you are yacht rock camera ready.  In fact, let’s not forget the boat shoes, deck shoes, or Sperry Top Siders all together.

Yacht Rock Outfits Wildcard…

Never forget that there’s really no authority on this subject so you can always just go for it.  Sometimes, the more uniform, standard, and strict we get on the yacht, the more mundane we become.  Therefore, don’t be afraid to dive into the vanity t-shirt, go stripes and ascot, and generally mix it up.  There are no hard and fast rules behind the Yacht Rock outfit, just your creativity and passion for the music.  From experience, we’ll go captain’s outfit one day and crazy boat shirt the next.  Ultimately, we’ve seen it all from the stage and relish the moments when people go wild with it.  In fact, there’s probably even a yacht rock adjacent area for the Pirate Party as well.  Captain Crunch sightings aside, those parties can really bring together the nauti, yachty, knotty by nature and then some.  In the end, go for it and see what happens.  It’s all fun and games until someone loses an eyepatch.  Honestly, it’s all about the fun so get Kraken!!!

As always, let the vibe be your guide.  Thus, for your next yacht rock themed party, concert, or just a Yachty night on the town, get your ensemble going.  Whether you are new to the yacht or an old deck hand, that outfit will crank up the experience.  So, commit to making that statement with your yacht clothing or up your game and improve on the garb you already have.  As we well know, you can never have enough options to mix it up for a fun night with Yachty by Nature or some other occasion.

Happy to be your guide here.  Feel free to comment and add some great ideas on this post or on social media. #yachtrock #yachtrockoutfits #yachtybynature #yachtattire #yachtrockfashion

About Author

Thanks for giving props to Tiki Caliente! I would like to point out that the most proper Hawaiian shirt to wear to a Yacht Rock concert is one that would have been for sale between 1978 and 1983! Think to yourself, would Magnum PI or Pablo Cruise wear this? And if so, bring it on! Most Magnum PI kind of Hawaiian shirts go great with a white jacket and white shorts. Vintage late ‘70s and early ‘80’s Hawaiian shirts can be found Online in Etsy yacht rock shops, and on eBay. Not expensive, and so ”vintage smooth”. Look like a pro, and be “era appropriate”. Girls can find vintage 70’s nautical dresses on Etsy, too!

THIS is everything!!! I love it Carl!!!

Ahoy Jenny! THanks so much for the kind compliment 🙂 As you know, we’re super inspired and love switching up the outfits, attire, clothing, and costumes. Yacht Rock rules!

Awesome show this past weekend at Circa Caliente glad the rain stopped so the show could go on.

What To Wear On A Boat (Party) If You’re A Guy

You're on a boat, so dress like it.

For those who enjoy a good event, a boat party is the pinnacle of summer festivities. As the chicest, most elite (and often most expensive) kind of shindig you can attend it usually calls for a specific set of style guidelines – and the attitude to match. But you needn’t be daunted; with a deft hand and a couple of key pointers, you’ll be sure to look like a natural seafarer, whether it be on the French Riviera or Sydney Harbour. It’s all about the breezy combo, baby.

In This Story…

What shirt to wear to a boat party, what jacket to wear to a boat party, what pants to wear to a boat party, what shorts to wear to a boat party, what accessories to wear to a boat party.

When at sea the key thing to focus your sartorial gaze on is fabric. Whether you’re opting for a French button-down linen shirt or a crisp white t-shirt, your choice of shirt should feel resort-inspired and like you’re on a holiday. Look at beach-y hues such as pale blue, ocean spray, beige or white. Venroy has an enviable collection of colours and fits that meet this brief perfectly.

In terms of styling, understated elegance is the goal. Experiment with details like a French tuck where the front of the shirt is tucked into the waistband with the back trailing out behind. Flicking back the cuffs of a shirt will also ensure that you err on the side of a relaxed sea goer versus a white-collar worker. If you’re willing to try something more avant-garde, look at detailing like a Mandarin collar or bolder print shirts  with wide stripes or even a sheer finish. These paired with a neutral pair of linen trousers or shorts make for effortless, nautical elegance.

If the occasion (or simply the weather) calls for it, you may need to add a jacket to the mix. However, it can’t just be any old blazer. Go too heavy or structured and it won’t look in keeping with the airy, nautical vibe. Instead, look for lightly tailored, unlined jackets in navy or sand with interesting details like pale-coloured buttons or peaked lapels.

For inspiration, turn to the likes of Australian sartorial wunderkind Patrick Johnson from P. Johnson Tailors who favours ‘classic nautical blues and whites. Off white trousers, navy polo shirt and a navy blazer, gold buttons (the whole bit)’. If you’re looking to make more of a statement, use a blazer as an opportunity to experiment with bolder patterns and textures. Seersucker is made for sailing and adds a point of interest to a more standard pair of tailored trousers and button-down shirt.

Being on a boat is relaxing and the structure of your trousers should reflect that. In place of starchy cotton twill chinos , use a boat party to try less structured linen trousers in navy or cream. These trousers are all about the details so seek out a pair that has tab sides or a rope-tie belt. This is a sure-fire way to give a nod to your on-water venue in a way that feels elegant rather than kitsch.

If linen isn’t your thing – and it’s perhaps a slightly more casual affair – a pair of white pants paired with a blue and white Breton stripe top will make for a nonchalant but classic look. Add a pair of classic sunglasses from the likes of Persol to the mix and you’ll be ready for whatever the day may throw at you.

In the warmer months, a boat party is one of the only events where a gent has a license to get his legs out. However, there’s a specific way to approach shorts so take note. First and foremost, look for a style that hits just above the knee in a tailored cut. Any longer or baggier and you’ll start looking bottom-heavy and throw off the proportions of your ensemble.

Secondly, pair your shorts with a tailored shirt to ensure you look adequately dressed up. Opt for shorts in a neutral taupe or white and pair with a linen shirt in a vibrant pastel colour. Aqua, tangerine and canary yellow are all great options that can make the right kind of statement. Anchor these with a canvas or woven belt to finish off your outfit.

Given the oftentimes casual nature of a boat event, the devil is in the details. Use accessories as an opportunity to mark you out from the masses and to elevate your look.

If you’re headed to a daytime event, adding a Panama hat and sharp sunglasses to your ensemble will signify that you’ve put some thought into it and haven’t just thrown on a shirt and shorts. For the sartorially bold, you could even look at adding a flamboyant statement with a silk neckerchief. These were the toast of Pitti this year and are a certain way to position you at the vanguard of the style stakes. Look for iterations in paisley prints and statement colours – this will contrast sensationally against a more neutral base ensemble.

Should it be an evening cocktail event, accessorise with a linen pocket square and a statement belt. Play with colour, looking at belts in turquoise, orange or brick red that have a statement buckle. The likes of Salvatore Ferragamo have an enviable selection as do Suit Supply who offer theirs at a more budget-friendly price point.

What to Wear to a Yacht Party: Business or Leisure

For those who belong to boating and yacht communities, the question "what to wear to a yacht party?" pops up almost as frequently as the parties and social gatherings that take place in sea-based luxurious locations.

Luckily, we consider ourselves to be well-versed in the art of fashion, the silent dress code, and appropriate dressing, particularly when it comes to clothing and accessories to wear on a yacht. We have prepared this guide for you to use as a reference in order to not only dress the part but to also stand out from the crowd (in a good way) and make a statement.

If you would like to know how to dress, and what to dress, then keep reading!

What NOT to Wear on a Yacht Party (or any Boat Party)

For this particular section, we categorize items of clothing and accessories that should not be worn by sections of the body, beginning at the feet, and work our way up. Again, these are articles of clothing that should NOT be worn as they could yield disastrous results in any given event or yacht party, whether it be classy, casual, or somewhere in between.

• Flip Flops - Only wear flip flops if the yacht party involves swimming and water-based activities.
• Sandals - Sandals are absolutely discouraged because they neither offer the flexibility of flip flops nor present the wearer as a stylish, professional, or formal individual.
• Heels - Although a common sight in any classy yacht party and dinner event, trudging around the deck with a pair of high heels is not advisable due to safety and stability issues. If needed, try going with thicker and shorter heels.
• Athletic Shoes or Rubber Shoes - Keep the athletic shoes, rubber shoes, or sneakers at home as they have no place in a yacht party, casual or otherwise.
• Denim Pants or Shorts - Anything denim is a no-no in any classy event, and when it comes to sea-based attire, there is absolutely no justification to wear such material, regardless of the type of event.
• Baggy Pants or Shorts - Yes, we could concede that baggy articles of clothing offer a degree of breathability and utility, but you do not attend events such as cocktail parties or dinners wearing a baggy pair of shorts or pants. This is just a fashion prohibition, plain and simple.
• Jacket or Hoodie - Perhaps you can bring a jacket or hoodie for boat bedtime or fishing expeditions, but when it comes to choosing outfits for a yacht party, slapping a jacket on is a bit out of style.
• Shirt - Although there are obvious exceptions to wearing a shirt (such as in a summer yacht party or a casual yacht party where a shirt is more comfortable and breathable). A shirt should not be on top of your list of preferred items of clothing when attending water-based events. Avoid casual shirts and stick with buttoned shirts or polo shirts.
• Hat or Cap - Unless the dress code strictly requires you to bring a hat or cap, there is absolutely no reason to wear either to a yacht party. Sure, it can look good and chic when the style fits your personality and body type, but rarely do we consider a hat as an appropriate piece of clothing to wear to a yacht event.
• Sunglasses - Don't get us wrong, we absolutely love wearing sunglasses and every bit of the design and substance shades can offer. But in the context of formal events such as cocktail events or night activities, this accessory is discouraged.

Ideas on What to Wear to a Yacht Day Party

The best outfit to wear for men would be what people usually dress up as for country club/ yacht club events or exclusive golf activities. Being exposed to the sun, it would be ideal to go with outfits that include bright polo shirts and khaki pants that match or complement the color of the upper garment.

The best outfit to wear for women would also be what people usually have as an outfit for country clubs or exclusive social gatherings. Acceptable outfits may involve a dress and heels, but the most ideal outfit for women for a nautical day party would be a polo shirt and either slim-fit khakis or knee-length shirt.

Ideas on What to Wear to a Yacht Dance Party

For men, a yacht dance party should entail an outfit that does not restrict movement and if possible, aids it even further. We would advise slapping on dance shoes that have tested and proven outsoles (to prevent slipping and imbalance) along with a button-down shirt and dress pants.

For the females, especially if the dance party is held at night (after dinner), a statement attire would be form-fitting dresses, jewelry that is not too loud or flashy, and light shoes or heels.

What to Wear to a Yacht Business Party

Men should wear corporate attire to a boat business party, whether it be held in the day or in the evening. A typical combo would entail button-down shirts, formal slacks, black or brown shoes, a coat or blazer, and a tie as an extra touch.

Females should also be on their A-game in events such as this. Therefore, we would suggest a button-down shirt, simple jewelry, tailor-made slacks or knee-length skirt, and heels that match the colors of the previously mentioned pieces of clothing.

What to Wear to a Yacht Cocktail Party

Men should be thinking of attending international conferences or exclusive seminars when attending boat cocktail events. A practical look for this particular event would be a button-down collared shirt, dress pants or formal slacks, and brown or black shoes.

For females, the ideal motif or reference point would be major events and concerts such as clothes one would wear to an opera or musical. We suggest considering form-fitting dresses that are made of lightweight fabric materials.

Ideas on What to Wear to a Yacht Dinner Party

For dinner time or night time, men should still observe a get-up that is presentable and professional. As a reference point, think of our suggestions for the cocktail party: button-down collared shirts, dress pants or formal slacks, and brown or black footwear.

For females, stilettos are the most ideal footwear for such an occasion. This can be paired with either a cocktail dress or a full-length gown, depending on the type of formality the dinner activity requires.

Ideas on What Kids Should Wear for a Yacht Day Party

For kids, sporting a more casual look and wearing items that protect your skin from the UV rays are more important considerations to have over style and appropriateness. As such, we would recommend any of the following for kids or teenagers attending boating events:

• Head: Cap or hat and glasses or shades
• Upper Body: Shirt and jacket
• Lower Body: Linen Shorts or Baggy Pants
• Footwear: Rubber shoes or any pair of footwear that offers sufficient padding and protection

Tips for What to Wear for Summer and Winter Yacht Parties

As for seasonal attire, such as summer attire or winter attire, you can opt for any of the classic looks (beach look, layered winter get-up, maxi dress/flowy clothes).

A suit and tie would definitely not sound appropriate if we are specifically talking about seasonal suits or dresses, but make sure to opt for clothes and accessories that match, whether it be stripes, solid colors, fresh, warm, and light hues, or darker colors.

Consider the time of day. If you are exposed to the scorching hot sun and all its bright glory on a summer day, then going for a flowy outfit would do wonders for your skin and perspiration.

If you are about to experience a harsh, cold, wintery night, perhaps a thicker dress outfit with longer length or a suit and tie outfit layered with undergarments offer a better experience, even by just a little bit.

The sea is a perilous region that may have moments of life and death. But in the context of social activities such as yacht parties and sailing activities, dressing in a suit or dress appropriately and wearing the right pieces of jewelry and accessories can spell the difference between a below-the-deck catastrophe and a life-changing nautical success. It may seem a little bit over-the-top, but you have to consider your appearance for the purpose of self-confidence and establishing the right connections with individuals.

So, wish as you could to change your past blunders (if any), the only thing that can be done is to be well-informed going into your next fun, formal, casual, or classic party. Whether or not a dress code is announced, it is best to keep this guide in handy. The next time you ask yourself what to wear to a yacht party, you should have all the information.

What Should I Wear to a Yacht Party?

The date is set, and your RSVP is confirmed. And you’ve likely spread the word that you’ll soon be attending a party on a yacht in Marina del Rey (because why wouldn’t you?).

But the question still remains…What do you wear?

At FantaSea Yachts, we often hear this from clients hosting an event aboard one of our luxury yachts. Our answer is simple – it depends on the party and the time of day. We’ve compiled a few tips to jumpstart your yacht party inspo board. 

What do I wear to a daytime yacht event?

When the sun is out, it’s a great time to play on the water. We’ve planned countless celebrations – brunches, lunchtime events, and casual cruises – for different groups during the day. All guest attire tends to be similar. Breezy. Light. Think linen pants or jackets, flowing dresses, polo or oxford shirts… relaxed but stylish. This is your chance to dress differently than your normal attire; leave the jeans, t-shirts, leggings, and board shorts at home, and impress your fellow partygoers with a well-put-together outfit. It never hurts to sport a nautical-themed look (navy stripes and gold accents, included) to pay homage to the setting. Don’t think of it as gimmicky – it’s part of the fun! If you’re looking for nautical inspiration, check out this article, 12 Ultra Cute Ways to Wear Nautical-Inspired Clothes.  

For daytime yacht parties, we recommend flat shoes, strappy sandals, low wedges for the ladies, and a pair of classic loafers for the gentlemen. 

What do I wear to a nighttime yacht party?

Whether it’s a boat wedding , milestone bash , or company party , nighttime yacht parties are always magical. From twinkling lights to starry skies, the moment you step onto one of our rooftop sky decks prepared to be WOWED. And that in itself is more than enough reason to dress up extra special. 

Nighttime parties are great for cocktail dresses and semi-formal attire. Ladies, you don’t want to wear anything too long to avoid someone stepping on your dress or your shoe getting caught on the fabric. Go for comfortable glamor. If you opt for a cocktail dress, make sure the length is appropriate. Have fun accessorizing with statement jewelry and your favorite clutch or small shoulder bag (avoid a large tote or purse for an ultra-chic look).

For men, simplicity is the name of the game. Unless the event calls for formal attire, steer away from a tuxedo. Top options include a classic suit, dress slacks with a nice blazer and tie, or dress slacks with a sports coat and tie. Not sure what the difference is between a suit jacket, blazer, and sports coat? This Jos.A.Bank article breaks it down . 

Of course, if your celebration is a yacht wedding , that will bring into account a more specific set of dressing dos and don’ts. Often formal attire will be the norm, but you should always ask your friends who are hosting their wedding on a yacht to see if the ceremony and reception is formal or casual.

Similarly, if the affair is a birthday yacht rental , then check with the hosts to learn if they are planning a unique theme that would require a specific fashion statement.  

What should I always take to a celebration on a  yacht?

There are two stand-out answers to this question: A light sweater or jacket (it’s always cooler on the water), and your favorite pair of sunglasses. Other considerations include sunscreen, a fashionable hat, hair ties (in case it’s too breezy), and lip balm or chapstick. People often ask if motion sickness medication is needed. Our answer is no. The great thing about our cruises is that we stay in the Marina del Rey harbor and don’t go past the breakwater. This eliminates any wave activity (there are NO waves), which makes for an easy, smooth ride. There is virtually no risk of seasickness or motion sickness cruising these calm waters.

What not to wear to a yacht party?

This may seem obvious, but high heels or stilettos are probably the least popular accessory on ANY yacht cruise – day OR night. We also recommended avoiding super casual flip-flops as the look can appear sloppy.

What to Wear to a Yacht Party – Your Dress Code Guide!

Dressing for a boat party is different than any other kind of event. While you have good times, you need to look great and most importantly, feel comfortable in your clothing. Also, you need to take some safety precautions into consideration as boats have unpredictable movements. After all, you want to have an exceptional time! Most yacht events take place in the summer, so you need to dress accordingly to the weather. What will be your event about? A Day party? A night party? In this article, you will find out exactly what to wear to a yacht party.

Table of Contents

Most parties are held during the day. You will probably spend most of your time enjoying dancing on the deck with a cocktail in your hand or swimming in the water, so you need an attire comfortable to wear and easy to pull on/off!

• Choose a swimsuit or a bikini to wear under your clothes. Make sure to pick a color that suits your attire.
• A flowy dress, short skirt, airy beach pants, or a short over your swimsuit will be perfect for this kind of party. You can also match them with a summary layer or a loose blouse.
• As for the shoes, flat sandals with soft soles will get you out of trouble. High heels are an absolute no-no as they are not safe on a boat and can scratch the deck.

Accessories

• You should be wearing sunglasses during the day, but not just any, you need polarized sunglasses to protect 100% your eyes from the UV rays of the sun
• Try to store your stuff like sunglasses, makeup, and hair clips in a waterproof handbag. It could be useful if it gets wet!
• Makeup Use only waterproof makeup during the day
• Opt for a tight swimsuit if you plan to wear it under your cloth. Otherwise, there are stylish good looking swimwears that look more like dress shorts, which you can match with loose shirts and a light jacket
• The most appropriate clothes for men are loose pants, boating shorts , and jean shorts assorted with light shirts, or polo and a loose vest.
• Avoid flip-flops and opt for nonmarking boating shoes , like Sperry. These come in a wide variety of styles to choose from and will match any outfit. With these shoes, you can walk in complete tranquility without worrying about hurting your feet or slipping on the wet deck.
• Opt only for a waterproof watch if you intend to wear one. You don’t want to bother taking it off, and on each time you go for a swim.
• As mentioned for women above, the same concept applies to men. A good pair of polarized sunglasses is a must!

Night Party

In the evening, you can still wear casual clothes but a bit more dressy. The thin, soft, and flowy textile is more appropriate for night parties. Bring a light jacket with you. It gets cooler in the evening.

• Princess waist dresses, skirt with flounces, loose pants assorted with dressy tops are the perfect choices. A chic option will be to wear a color-coordinated wrap or a jacket. A long dress harmonized with a nice pair of chandelier earrings is a great option if you opt to dress chicly
• Here, again, avoid high heels. Flats and low-heeled sandals will be perfect and will suit any outfit.
• Men should wear comfortable pants with a dress shirt or even a polo, and a light jacket on top.
• I will say it again, the best shoes to wear on a boat is Sperry, but hey, this is your party, you can pick any other type of boat shoes as long as they are non-marking.
• Girls, even if high heels elongate your legs and make you more attractive. It is preferable to avoid wearing them on a boat. Opt for boating shoes !
• Mosquitoes love humidity, especially in the late afternoon. You should bring a repellent with you. You Never know.
• Try to use only waterproof accessories
• The sun beat down during the day, bring sunscreen and wear long sleeves to protect you from the sun
• You can wear long dresses but not too long to avoid tripping.
• If you are unsure about the type of party, ask the person that organizes the event on the yacht what is and not appropriate.
• It’s easy to get dehydrated on a yacht because you don’t feel the sun as you are most of the time in the water or on the deck and at sea, there are always winds. PS, wear a hat and drink a lot of water!

Final Words!

Now that you know how to dress for a day and night party on a yacht, all you need to do is have a good time!

8 thoughts on “What to Wear to a Yacht Party – Your Dress Code Guide!”

I have a yacht party to go to and I really needed this guide to make sure that I will take whatever I need. It is really easy to forget a few things and later regret once you reach the party. However, in the evening yacht parties, is it okay to wear heels?

Oh, that’s great, I am sure you’ll have fun!

Yes, I agree with you, it is easy to forget things. This is why it is important to write down what you need before you go:) Once you are on the boat, you cannot go back unless you live nearby.

You cannot wear high heels on a boat, there are few reasons to this. It is not comfortable, not safety and it can damage the deck:) You wouldn’t want this happen.

Thank you for the comment and wish you to have unforgettable moments on the yacht party!

Have a wonderful day!

Hi Daniella, I really like that you divided your article into parts like what to wear in the day or in night! And that you pay attention to both men and women is great, too! often, there are only guides for women. Keep going on as active as you are! Your website is catchy!

Thank you for the kind comment, I really appreciate:) Whats women without men and whats men without women? We can’t live without each other:), Have a wonderful day!

I have been on a yacht for a dinner party sailing in heels! It was a bit troublesome especially going up and down stairs.

Is this post geared toward Northeast US or somewhere else in the world? Here in Florida, it is absolutely okay to wear flip flops to a day yacht party as long as they aren’t cheap! Sperry’s or other boat shoes are acceptable at night for men if the rest of the outfit is semi-casual.

Thank you for the comment:)

Yes, this article concerns everyone. No matter the country. Of course, you can wear flip flops , you can even go barefoot if you wish to, but the risk of hurting your feet or slipping on the deck is much higher. Most charter companies require wearing boat shoes because if something happens and someone didn’t follow the guideline, then the company or the owner of the boat will not be covered by their assurance.

However, Sperry’ shoes are the most recommended on boats as they are comfortable and stylish.

But, again, as long as it is non-marking shoes, you are good to go!

I like how you said that the most appropriate clothes for men are loose pants. My wife and I are planning to go on a trip and we have no idea what to wear. I will definitely share this article with my wife to give her ideas of what to wear in case we go to a boat party.

Hi Dereck, This would be a great idea! I am sure your wife will find something nice to wear:) Thank you for the comment and wish you a lovely day!
