Key West Wedding Yacht Charter
A Six Fins partner-fleet yacht, the right captain for your wedding day, and the open water off Key West — for the ceremony, the sunset cruise the night before, or the getaway after you say I do.
Local crew. Small groups. Private experiences.
Intimate celebrations deserve a private setting. Six Fins keeps the experience personal, flexible, and centered on your group from departure through sunset.
Why couples choose Six Fins
Most Key West wedding boats are 60-foot catamarans built to seat 40 strangers. Ours is a private yacht from our partner fleet, matched to your group size, with a USCG-licensed captain whose only job that day is yours.
One couple. One charter. No shared deck, no other parties, no schedule built around someone else's reservation. The boat is yours from departure to dock.
Four partner vessels (37′–50′) and the local USCG-licensed captains who run them. We match you to the one that fits your group size, ceremony style, and weather window.
Tell us your timeline and we build the charter around it — ceremony at sea, sunset cruise for the wedding party, day-of decompression, or honeymoon kickoff. Custom, not packaged.
Four ways couples book us
Most couples book us for one of four reasons. Mix and match across your wedding weekend if more than one fits — we'll build a multi-day rate.
Bring your officiant, your rings, and your witnesses. Your captain will position the boat at a quiet anchorage — Sand Key, an offshore stretch off the backcountry, or wherever the day points us — and shut down the engines so your vows are between the two of you and the water.
Guest counts vary by vessel; our partner fleet handles intimate ceremonies of just a few witnesses up through wedding parties of around a dozen.
The night before is when everyone arrives, the schedule explodes, and the couple barely sees each other. A private Romantic Sunset Cruise with the wedding party — drinks on the foredeck, the lower Keys glowing west — is the antidote.
It's also the easiest sell to a future mother-in-law.
The ceremony's over. The reception isn't for three hours. Photos are done. You're in your dress on a hot afternoon and you don't want to go back to the hotel.
Step onto the boat. We'll take a quiet loop, hand you a cold drink, get you back to the dock 20 minutes before the reception with the wind back in your hair.
The morning after the wedding, when the family has been hugged for the last time and the only thing left on the schedule is the two of you — head out for a half-day. Marquesas Keys for the day. Snipes Point for the sandbar. Sand Key for the snorkel.
Couples call this the best decision they made about the whole weekend.

Wedding charters run on our partner-fleet of luxury vessels. Each one suits a different ceremony style and guest count — we match you to the right boat once we know your date and group size. Click through for full specs, captain, and gallery.

Fastest of the four with an all-weather cabin. Best for smaller wedding parties or any day the forecast is iffy.

Your captain
Each of our four partner vessels is operated by its own USCG-licensed captain who knows that boat and these waters. Once you’ve picked a date, group size, and yacht, we confirm the specific captain on the quote so the person at the helm on your wedding day is locked in — no day-of substitutions.

Duration, guest count, and ceremony requirements all shift the number. Tell us your date and a rough plan — we come back with a same-day quote and a hold on your date while you decide.
Wedding charter FAQ
Yes. Six Fins can arrange private wedding yacht charters for intimate ceremonies, vow renewals, elopements, rehearsal cruises, and post-ceremony getaways.
The best boat depends on your guest count, ceremony style, weather window, photo goals, and whether you want a quick ceremony, sunset cruise, or a full wedding-weekend experience.
Six Fins works with a partner fleet that includes SeaJazz 42, Saba 50, Axopar 37, and Bali 4.1 options. Each vessel suits a different ceremony style.
The SeaJazz 42 catamaran is stable for ceremonies, the Saba 50 has the most deck and interior space, the Axopar 37 is fast with an all-weather cabin, and the Bali 4.1 is a photo-friendly catamaran with an open-concept layout.
Capacity depends on the vessel. Many partner-fleet wedding charters work for up to about 12 guests per boat, and larger wedding groups may require multiple vessels.
Tell Six Fins your approximate guest count before choosing the boat. Guest count drives the quote, vessel match, crew needs, and ceremony setup.
Both. Common bookings include the ceremony at sea, a sunset cruise for the wedding party, a rehearsal or welcome cruise, a private day-after charter, or a post-ceremony getaway for the couple.
Tell Six Fins your weekend timeline, and the team will recommend the right vessel and timing.
Yes, Six Fins can help coordinate local wedding support when requested. That may include an officiant, photographer, flowers, music, simple décor, or planner coordination.
These services are quoted separately. Six Fins should not assume you need the same level of planning as a land-based wedding; some couples want simple and private, others want a fuller production.
Wedding yacht charters are custom quoted. Price depends on date, duration, vessel, guest count, captain/crew, ceremony needs, special requests, and whether the trip includes sunset, ceremony time, or multiple legs.
Send your date, guest count, preferred time, and rough plan. Six Fins can respond with a same-day quote and a temporary hold when availability allows.
Most wedding yacht charters depart from Perry Hotel & Marina in Stock Island / Key West, but the exact dock and vessel instructions depend on the yacht selected.
Your quote and confirmation will list the vessel, captain, marina, boarding time, and any setup details.
Yes, sunset vows are one of the strongest reasons to choose a private yacht ceremony in Key West. The captain will plan timing around the day's sunset and route conditions.
Sunset color is never guaranteed, but the private yacht gives you the best chance to be positioned beautifully without fighting a public crowd.
If Six Fins, the partner captain, or the vessel operator determines conditions are unsafe, the charter may be rescheduled or refunded according to the applicable booking policy and quote terms.
For wedding events, Six Fins recommends discussing a weather backup plan before booking, especially if ceremony timing is fixed.
