The Charm of Yacht Weddings
Yacht weddings offer an enchanting experience, making them an ideal choice for couples looking for something special on their big day. The romantic allure of being surrounded by the open sea, with the gentle breeze and the sound of waves lapping against the hull, creates a welcoming atmosphere that’s hard to match. Unlike traditional venues, a yacht provides a constantly changing backdrop as it sails, offering stunning views of the coastline, sunsets, and starry skies. This dynamic setting not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the wedding but also provides a sense of adventure and exclusivity that guests will remember for years.
One of the key advantages of a yacht wedding is its intimate nature. These wedding ceremonies are ideal for couples who prefer a smaller, more personal celebration with close friends and family. At St. Augustine Sailing, we specialize in hosting exclusive gatherings, typically accommodating up to 10 guests, but they can also cater to slightly larger groups of up to 100 guests. This flexibility allows couples to tailor their wedding experience to their desires, whether they want a quiet, private ceremony or a more festive event with a larger group. The close-knit environment of a yacht ensures that everyone feels included and engaged, making the celebration more meaningful and memorable.
Moreover, a yacht wedding offers unparalleled convenience and flexibility. The entire event, from the ceremony to the reception, can take place aboard the vessel, simplifying logistics and ensuring a seamless experience. This all-in-one venue approach allows couples to focus on enjoying their big day without worrying about transportation or moving guests between locations. With professional staff on board to attend to every detail, from catering to entertainment, couples can relax and fully immerse themselves in the joy of the occasion.

Arbor Knot Package
The Arbor Knot package is fitting for couples seeking a serene and intimate wedding experience. Priced starting at $3,000, this package offers a ceremony aboard one of our luxurious yachts, creating a beautiful setting as the boat gently sails along the coast. The Arbor Knot symbolizes the start of a new journey, making it an apt metaphor for tying the knot. This package is ideal for the bride and groom who prefer a quiet ceremony with just a few close friends or family members. The simplicity and elegance of the Arbor Knot ceremony allow couples to focus on the joy of their union in a peaceful and private setting.
Lover's Knot Package
For those who wish to stay dockside, the Lovers’ Knot package offers a charming alternative. Also starting at $6,500, this package features a wedding ceremony aboard a yacht while it is docked at the marina. The picturesque backdrop of the marina, coupled with the luxurious surroundings of the yacht, provides a stunning setting for exchanging vows. The Lovers’ Knot, a symbol of eternal love and unity, perfectly represents the bond being formed. This package is suitable for couples who want a small gathering of family and friends to witness their special moment without setting sail. The stationary setting allows for a more controlled environment, which can be particularly appealing for couples who prefer a stable, grounded feel.
Marriage Knot Package

This package is ideal for couples who want to include more friends and family in their celebration without losing the distinctive vibe that a yacht wedding provides. The dockside location also offers more space and flexibility for decorations and additional features, making it a versatile choice for those looking to personalize their nuptials.
