How to prepare for ordering a yacht for a bachelorette party, stag party, birthday, wedding or anniversary
How to make your vacation on a yacht as comfortable as possible? This is especially important when you are celebrating a birthday, bachelorette party, bachelor party, anniversary or wedding. Bimbarent will help you to avoid embarrassing moments while renting a boat and prepare as much as possible for your event.
Yacht charter types & options
When choosing a boat, consider the maximum number of guests allowed on board. Do not bring more friends and family to the pier than is allowed by safety regulations. The exit to the water will simply be canceled.
Think about the format of the rest, its route (where to start, where to go – where to end the ride). For example, you want a classic boat trip either a trip with swimming, fishing, water skiing, etc. Perhaps you are interested in renting a boat without leaving the marina (when the boat remains parked in the yacht-club) for a dinner or unusually watching a sporting event on TV.

The type of rental, your wishes plus budget determine the equipment needed on board of the boat. For example, for riding on water for 3 hours on board, it is desirable to have a toilet. For large companies, we recommend checking boats with a refrigerator and freezer to cool food, drinks. For bathing children in the river, some guests request that the yacht has a hot shower, a hairdryer. Catering requires either a working microwave or stove to heat up main courses. You can find all these options in the filters on Bimbarent.
Route
What else? Your stops along the route. After booking, contact the captain and tell where your trip starts, where you want to make stops, where you plan to end the trip. For example, in Kyiv, for disembarking guests at the Riviera Zoloche restaurant, you can only moor if you have previously booked a table.
If some of your guests need to be picked up from other locations (for example, at a restaurant near river, either in another boat club), then the waiting time for mooring at the pier can be up to 60 minutes due to queues. To avoid such situations, book in advance the mooring time of your boat with a restaurant or a yacht club.
Things to keep in mind
Check with the captain if the music system on the boat is working. If not, take a bluetooth speaker with you for dancing / holding events. Another popular recreation option is karaoke on a yacht.
If your rental coincides with rain, bring raincoats with you.
If your rental falls on a cool evening/morning, check with the captain if there are blankets on the boat.
A photographer / videographer will help capture vivid emotions during a bachelorette / bachelor party, or birthday. But do not forget that the total number of guests on board is counted together with the photographer, the waiter, the presenter … That is, all the invited personnel are taken into account.
What food to take, we wrote in a separate article.
Alcohol. Red wine is not welcome, as red wine stains are difficult to remove from carpet and other interior parts. White wine, prosecco, champagne – great.
If you are celebrating a solemn date, graduation or doing a wedding yachting photo session, then you can safely decorate the yacht with balloons and ribbons before the start of the ride.
Arrive at the marina 10-15 minutes before the start of the ride. Do not be late, this may result in a reduction of the duration of your booking.
Water safety. For especially demanding guests, we note that in Ukraine boat insurance does not always cover guests during a trip. Guests are responsible for ensuring that they have their own personal health insurance at the time of the outing. Bimbarent is working to create a simple, affordable recreation insurance policy for both guests and boat owners.
