What Makes a Wedding Ceremony at Sea Legal?

Category: Weddings

If you’d like your wedding to be legally recognized, certain destinations allow licensed registrars and captains to perform the ceremony. Options include:

  • Local registrar on board or beachside – Common in destinations like the Bahamas or BVI.
  • Captain-led ceremonies – Some yachts allow captains with authority to officiate.
  • Licensed celebrants – Available in most regions for official documentation.
  • Full assistance with paperwork – Brokers and crews can coordinate legal requirements.

(Tip: Discuss your legal requirements early with your yacht charter specialist to avoid last-minute challenges.)
