Wedding Boat Hire

I don't know about you but I have always found something highly romantic about the sea. I have had many memorable days in my younger years just staring out into the vast emptiness, safe in the arms of my lover. On a beautiful day, when the sea is gentle and the sun is shining and not even a glimpse of land can be seen, I think it is the closest that you can get to heaven on earth. Therefore when I heard that many couples are looking into wedding boat hire I couldn't help but think that it was such a beautiful idea. If you are considering wedding boat hire, there are two misconceptions that I would like to rectify.

The first thing that puts a lot of people off about wedding boat hire is that they do not have any boating experience and they therefore think that it is not possible. This is far from the case; the percentage of people that can safely operate a boat is pretty small therefore companies that specialise in wedding boat hire wouldn't make much money unless they also provided employees that can captain the boats. The majority of people that hire a boat therefore also hire the services of a captain at the same time. Therefore you can dance your first dance knowing that you are safe and that there is a professional in control of your boat. There is also the option to not even head out to sea. Quite a lot of people hire boats for events and just celebrate in the marina. In my opinion this is a bit of a waste however, the proportion of the price of the hire that is saved is not much compared to what you miss out on should you stay near land. And if it is for your wedding then hopefully it will be a once in a lifetime experience so being so frugal is probably pretty stupid.

The next thing that people are often afraid of is that without even researching the subject they assume that wedding boat hire will be expensive. This is no longer true. As we are in a recession, the price of hiring luxury items has been slashed and this trend very much applies to boat hire. There is now not all that much of a difference between the cost of wedding boat hire and the cost of a conference hall in a hotel. You also need to remember that unless you are throwing your party in a private residence you are likely to be paying bar prices for the alcohol that is to be consumed. If you are on a boat, you will definitely save money as all alcohol can of course come from a supermarket at a fraction of the price.

Hopefully from reading this article you are now more aware of how easy and cheap wedding boat hire can be. Therefore if you are considering wedding boat hire, I hope that you will be closer to going ahead with it. I do not think it is a decision that can easily be regretted. On the most romantic day of your life what better place can there be than in the sunshine and on the open water.
