Attending A Boat Or Yacht Party? Try One Of These 8 Chic Outfits

If you have no idea what to wear to a boat or yacht party, check out this helpful guide for the best outfit ideas and tips on dress code.

If you tend to vacation around coastal towns, chances are that you will be invited to a boat party one weekend or another. Whether it’s a luxurious yacht soiree, a casual boat gathering, or a glamorous sailing affair, you’re in for a great time. But as you embark on this nautical adventure, one question looms large: What should you wear?

Dressing appropriately for such events requires a delicate balance between comfort, functionality, and, perhaps most importantly, style. With the shimmering sea as your backdrop, you want to look effortlessly chic without trying too hard. To help you navigate your boat or yacht party in style, we have curated this guide on what to wear to a boat or yacht party, ensuring you can make a grand entrance and set sail in style.

Chic Boat Party Outfits

1. linen, cotton and tencel dresses.

We highly recommend wearing lightweight clothes made from natural fibers like linen, tencel and cotton for your boat or yacht day trip. All of them are highly breathable, allowing air circulation and preventing you from feeling overheated in the sun or during energetic activities onboard.

In addition to this, they have great moisture-wicking properties, which means that any sweat or water on your clothes quickly evaporates, keeping you cool and dry.

While you can opt for any colors you want, light colors are especially popular in the heat of the sun, as well as nautical colors like light blue and navy, which echo the color scheme of open waters around you.

2. Wide Leg Pants

  Wide-leg pants are our favorite bottoms to wear during the summer, and boat parties are no different.

These elegant pants can be dressed up with elegant tops and a designer party bag for a chic look, or more casually with your favorite bikini top, a crop top, or a linen tank top. For ultimate comfort, stick to light colors and breathable materials like tencel, linen, and rayon.

3. Swimsuit + Shorts

To make taking a dip in the ocean easy and effortless, why not layer a pair of shorts over your swimsuit? Using the swimsuit or bikini as a top means you just need to take off your shorts when you want to jump into the sea – also, there are so many cute swimsuits that you just don’t want to cover up.

This shiny cocoa brown swimsuit has been styled with tailored camel shorts and a white cardigan to protect your shoulders from the sun.

4. Matching Sets

A matching set is an easy, fail-safe way to create a cute summery outfit that is perfect for a boat party. This matching set is all-white and includes a strapless, bandeau-style top, a midi skirt, and a cropped bolero-style cardigan, but you could go for any smart and chic matching set that perfectly suits your personal style.

Finish with sandals to slip on and off and sunglasses – keep jewelry to a minimum in case you take a dip in the sea.

5. Crochet Dresses

Crochet dresses are super stylish at the moment and will help you keep cool during the warmer weather too – just what you need if you are heading to a boat party.

The open weave of a crochet dress means they are great for keeping cool, plus, there are loads of different crochet dresses to choose from so you can easily find one that suits you. They also look incredible layered over a swimsuit and you just need a pair of sandals to finish the outfit.

6. Opulent Silk

If the boat party you are heading to is in the evening, then opulent silk and satin are exactly what you need. A silk or satin skirt is a great way to start a sophisticated outfit, then just style with a t-shirt or cropped top for a relaxed look or a sparkling sequined top for something a little more glam.

This shimmering blue silk maxi skirt looks incredible with the blue sequin crop top, both of which shine under the night sky lights for a striking look.

7. Light, neutral tones

Sticking to light, neutral tones is always a good idea during the summer months, and will perfectly suit a boat party aesthetic. White, ivory, and light beige shades will reflect the sunlight, helping you to stay cool.

This chic neutral outfit includes a beige bikini top, a white cotton skirt, black and gold sunglasses, gold starfish earrings, and a summery raffia bag to create a stunning, refined outfit that is perfect for heading out on a boat.

8. Figure-Hugging Long Dresses

For ultimate elegance, go for a figure-embracing maxi dress. Not only are they more practical than sorter dresses that may get down by the wind, but they’re also more glamorous as you glide along the deck.

While a voluminous flowy dress will look amazing blowing in the wind, it can get annoying very quickly. For daytime affairs, opt for a casual rib-knit dress, and for fancier yacht parties or black tie events, a long cocktail dress with more striking designs.

Other Essentials To Bring To A Boat Party

1. your swimsuit.

Firstly, it’s not a boat party without swimming! Don’t forget to bring your favorite bathing suit with you.

2. Suncream

It also pays to protect your skin from the sun, so pack your sunblock in your bag. A good sunblock should be at least SPF 30, since SPF 30 can block about 97% of the sun’s harmful UV rays. Make sure to reapply your suncream every 2 hours you spend in the sun for optimal protection.

3. Protective Accessories

It goes without saying, but don’t attend a boat party without a good pair of sunglasses . The sun is especially strong in the open sea as it reflects off of water, and you don’t want to spend your day squinting.

In addition to sunglasses, also consider bringing a stylish hat that protects your face and scalp. Whether you opt for a wide-brimmed hat, a floppy sun hat, a straw hat or a sporty cap, it serves as a barrier against the sun, reducing the risk of sunburn and discomfort.

4. Beach Towel

Some yachts and bigger boats will be equipped with beach towels for guests, but this is not a given. If you think you’ll be going in for a dip, pack a beach towel in your beach tote before you set off.

Now that we’ve gone over some of the best things to wear for yacht and boat parties, let’s also take a look at clothing to avoid.

What Not To Wear To A Boat Party

How you dress for a boat party is very different to what you wear on land. What looks good in a rooftop bar might not be appropriate for a yacht, so keep these things in mind when putting together your outfit:

1. High heels 

Stilettos with a sharp heel are a bit of a hazard on a moving boat; not only are you less stable when wearing them, the heel itself can also get stuck in gaps or grates on the deck, which can damage your shoes.

To be on the safe side, opt for comfortable flat sandals, boat shoes, or espadrilles, or take your shoes off entirely!

If you’re attending a dressy occasion in the evening, consider wearing platform wedges that look polished but are easy to walk in.

2. Fabrics That Make You Sweat

Avoid fibers and materials like acrylic, polyester, denim, and spandex that will make you sweat, and silk, which has moisture-wicking properties, but will not hide sweat stains.

Instead, opt for breathable fibers like cotton, linen, rayon, viscose, jersey, chambray and tencel, especially if you’re attending a boat party during the daytime.

3. Skin Tight clothing (If you’re swimming)

If you know that you’ll be swimming, avoid wearing tight clothing, as there’s nothing more uncomfortable than having to put your tight clothes back on when you have wet skin. Also, what looks good dry might not look as great when it’s all soaked in water and sticking to your skin.

Opt for clothes that are loose enough that they won’t cling to you and that allow the wind’s breeze to flow through them. Alternatively, you can always bring a change of clothes if you have a tight outfit that you definitely want to wear on your boat ride.

What to Wear to a Yacht Party? 21 Outfit Ideas

The summer season is in full swing, so are the best ways to celebrate this particular season. When I think of summer, my mind immediately jumps to pool parties, beaches, swimsuits, cool breeze by the ocean, beach waves, and everything fantastic.

Along with all those, boat parties are becoming increasingly popular among all age groups for all the right reasons, whether it be a cruise, fancy dinner, get-togethers with the folks, dinner dates, or a bachelorette affair. And dressing your part is the most crucial detail you can not compromise on!

Styling Tips for a Boat Party:

• The most important tip is to dress according to the occasion on the boat. Is it a casual cruise, fancy cruise, bachelorette, wedding, or simply a fun gathering with friends? The possibilities are endless; thus, the appropriate course of action would be to dress fancy if the occasion calls for it; and casual if the affair is chill and laidback.
• Wear shades of whites, ivory, and creams, topped with a pop of colour here and there!
• Do not forget your sunhat and glasses back home!
• Also, sunscreen! Probably the essential item to carry unless you wish to be toasted.
• Kimonos, oversized tee shirts would be helpful if you plan on wearing a swimsuit to the event.
• Please do not forget a cardigan or sweater! You never know when it might start getting chilly.
• Take your outfit to the next level by blending textures, including solid pieces and some printed/ striped ones.

Epic Yacht Party Outfit Ideas + Tips

Before I show you some examples of amazing yacht party outfits, I wanted to go over some of my top tips. This way, these can be fresh in your mind as you go through looking for inspiration!

1. Nautical Chic

Embrace the maritime theme by opting for nautical-inspired attire. A classic white and navy striped shirt paired with well-fitted khaki or white shorts or trousers can create a stylish and relaxed look.

If you are thinking about going a little more dressy, then you can always wear an evening gown that fits under this theme as well! I think the ideas below will help you find what style you are looking for.

2. Light and Breezy

Take it from me…since you’ll be out on the water, comfort is key. You need to choose lightweight and breathable fabrics like linen, cotton, or chambray to stay cool and composed even in the summer sun. I genuinly cannot push this point enough. You absolutely want to be stylish…but you also need to be practical.

Lucky for you, practicality and style actually do have many lines that intersect.

3. Dress to Impress

If the yacht party calls for a more formal dress code, consider a classy sundress for ladies or a tailored blazer over a crisp button-down shirt for gentlemen. It strikes the perfect balance between elegance and leisure. I love any excuse to dress up, so whenever I get invited to a fancier party, I really take advantage of it.

4. Hats and Sunglasses

This one is a subsection attached to tip number two. You are going to be on a boat, so you are going to want to include a cute hat and some sunnies. You can protect yourself from the sun while adding a touch of glamor with a wide-brimmed hat and a stylish pair of sunglasses that match your outfit.

Not only do they serve as practical accessories, but they also exude an air of sophistication. If you are going with your parents, you can look at these mom daughter matching outfits!

5. Deck Shoes or Sandals

Leave the stilettos and heavy boots at home! Opt for comfortable deck shoes or trendy sandals, as they are both practical and in line with the yacht ambiance. I once wore heels on a yacht and went home 4 hours later with the worst blisters I have ever had in my life.

Plus, with all of the swaying, I found myself exhausted from just standing in my heels. This is definitely not the vibe you want to bring to a party.

6. Accessorize Minimally

Keep your accessories simple and minimalistic. A statement piece like a beautiful necklace or a stylish bracelet can add that extra touch to your outfit without being too overpowering.

If you have too many accessories, you may find yourself on the more high-maintenance side. If you are up for that, then you go for it.

7. Neutral and Pastel Colors

Embrace the coastal vibe with a palette of soft and breezy colors. Think whites, pastel blues, seafoam greens, and sandy beiges for a fresh and sophisticated look. If you couldn’t tell already…the whole goal you are going for is sophistication. I mean, this is true for most yacht parties, but it does depend on the person throwing it.

Yacht Party Outfit Ideas –  8. Versatility is Key

Yacht parties often involve different settings, from lounging on the deck to dancing in the evening. Choose outfits that can transition seamlessly from day to night with a few adjustments. There are quite a few outfits like this below, so make sure you keep an eye out for them.

9. Layer Up

Evenings on the water can get a bit chilly, so be prepared by bringing along a lightweight cardigan or a stylish jacket that complements your outfit. This might feel a little counterintuitive, but at the end of the day, I just want you to be comfortable. I have spent one too many nights uncomfortable on a boat. Life is too short!

Yacht Party Outfit Ideas  10. Confidence

Above all, wear your outfit with confidence and a smile! Your attitude is the ultimate accessory, and it’ll radiate positivity and charm throughout the entire yacht party. I think if you listen to all of my tips and tricks from above, you are going to show up to this party the most comfy and confident version of yourself.

I recommend saying some simple affirmations to yourself before you leave your house. You are the life of the party. Everyone loves you. And, of course, you’re outfit rocks!

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.
