With state-of-the-art sound systems, dancefloors and light shows, few venues could compare to that of a luxury yacht. Whether celebrating milestone birthdays, anniversaries or simply an excuse to dance, BOAT handpicks a selection of some of the finest party yachts available for charter...

Forever

Stats: 45m, Logica Yachts, 2014, 12 guests, 9 crew

Highlights: Built with entertaining in mind, this 45-metre is a floating party platform where every deck has an array of features packed into it. Forever's foredeck’s 5.5-metre swimming pool and Jacuzzi are a particular highlight, as well as the sundeck’s amenities for late-night celebrations.

Complete with a walkaround cocktail bar with draught taps, glass chiller and full DJ setup, the sundeck transforms into a rooftop-club-style scene. Her 2022 refit introduced an extended upper deck and upgraded flybridge, further expanding the partying footprint. Interiors courtesy of Martin Kemp Design channel Miami's energy with glossy finishes, cool marble, expansive glazing and tactile Loro Piana linens.

Forever is available for charter with Camper & Nicholsons and has a weekly rate of €200,000.

Kenshō

Stats: 72.2m, Admiral, 2022, 12 guests, 23 crew

Highlights: Instantly recognisable, the flowing lines and metallic blue-green hull are enough of a reason to charter this magnificent 75-metre yacht. Though alongside Kensho's striking design are her sublime credentials for an impressive party.

Her sundeck, for example, has been carefully laid out to create different social spaces. Forward, there is a round table for two or three to eat an intimate meal together, while an integrated spa pool with a cut-away glass side and a large sunbed shaped like a manta ray also lies nearby. Past the lift, the deck opens out to provide sinuous seating, an oval dining table and a relaxed sofa area. All of the furniture here is loose and can be removed to turn the deck into a VIP party space. A DJ-quality sound system, which includes speakers built into the awning poles, brings the yacht to life with 120dB of noise.

Kenshō is available to charter with Y.CO and has a weekly rate starting from €900,000.

Christina O

Stats: 99.1m, Canadian Vickers, 1943(2020), 34 guests, 40 crew

Highlights: For a yacht with such an illustrious history, it shouldn’t come as much of a surprise that Christina O is no stranger to a party. Formerly owned by Greek tycoon Aristotle Onassis, the classic 99.1-metre yacht has hosted the likes of Winston Churchill, the Kennedys, Marilyn Monroe and Frank Sinatra, among many others. Her popularity as a true entertainer has stood the test of time, offering a number of spaces on board to host impressive gatherings, including the Callas lounge, the Lapis lounge, which has an open fireplace, and the famed Ari’s Bar.

Out on deck, the space for gatherings continues, especially around her aft deck, which has a mosaic hydraulic swimming pool that can be drained and raised to create a dance floor. Above, on the dual-level Jacuzzi deck, lies a huge backlit bar, which glows a deep blue at night. For music lovers, Christina O has the capacity to host gigs on the deck, and given her capacity to carry up to 157 passengers, she can certainly accommodate a sizeable celebration.

Christina O is available to charter with Morley and has a weekly rate starting from €700,000.

Sunrays

Stats: 85.5m, 2010 (2025), Oceanco, 12 guests, 28 crew

Described as 'opulent' by the broker, her volume of 2,867GT is filled with large open spaces perfect for parties.

Entertaining on board is a core focus, with a table that converts into a central dining arrangement for 22 guests, a gyroscopic pool table, a piano and a large TV for evening events. The helipad can also be set up for gatherings, complete with lighting and a DJ booth.

Sunrays is available for charter with Edmiston and has a weekly rate starting from €1,150,000.

Sherakhan

Stats: Vuyk en Zonen, 70m, 1965 (2005), 26 guests, 19 crew

Originally built in the Netherlands and extensively refitted to luxury standards, she has become one of the most versatile discovery yachts on the water. Her volume of 1,945GT allows for a spectacular range of amenities, including a soaring seven-metre atrium that forms the heart of the yacht, complete with a chandelier and a 26-seat dining table.

Emir

Stats: 83m, Golden Yachts, 2004, 28 guests, 28 crew

Equally impressive are the VIP suites and selection of adaptable guest cabins.

Purpose-built for hosting large gatherings, milestone parties and multi-day events, a comprehensive refit in 2022 refreshed her social spaces and improved her partying credentials. Between parties, guests can relax on the main deck, with a spa, gym and cinema, while an extensive toy box keeps the energy high during the day.

Lel

Stats: 49.7m, Rossinavi, 2020, 12 guests, 13 crew

Highlights: Lel was delivered in 2020 by Italian shipyard Rossinavi, marking the first collaboration between the shipyard and designer Luca Dini. Space on board was hugely important and manifested well in the finished project. Exterior-wise, the 49.7-metre is a well-balanced yacht with sporty and well-proportioned lines.

On board, Lel is awash with intriguing touches, including a carbon-fibre bar custom-made by Rossinavi. Lel’s exterior spaces are extensive: up on the sundeck, guests will find comfortable sofas as well as a cocktail bar and a glass-bottomed spa pool surrounded by foliage. The most prominent feature on board Lel is her huge beach club that increases in size when the side hatches are lowered, creating also a large swim platform and sunbathing lounge. The space can be transformed into a dancefloor with an excellent sound system and lights.

Lel is available for charter with Ocean Independence and has a weekly rate from €310,000.
