So, you’re considering a Yacht ROM—good choice. It’s private, intimate, and let’s be real, a lot more exciting than a ballroom or restaurant setting. But the big question is: Where do you start?

We know the struggle. Planning any event, let alone your solemnization, can feel overwhelming. How do you pick the right yacht? What’s the real cost? What if it rains? And do you really need a photographer or flowers?

Before you get lost in a rabbit hole of endless research, let’s break it all down step by step.

1. How to Choose the Right Yacht for Your ROM

There are two ways to go about this:

• Fixed budget: You already know how much you’re willing to spend, and you don’t want to exceed that number.
• Guest list first: You figure out how many people you’re inviting and then look for a yacht that fits.

Size Matters (And Not Just for Show)

We’re going to be honest here: some yacht agents will sell you the smallest yacht just to close the deal. But we don’t do that because we actually care about how your event turns out.

Here’s what happens when you book a yacht that’s too small just to save some cash:
❌ Wet weather hits → Everyone crams into a tiny indoor space, and your dream celebration turns into a packed train ride.
❌ No space for photos → Instead of capturing those romantic, cinematic moments, your photographer is just trying to fit everyone into a tight frame.
❌ Limited movement → Imagine trying to have a solemnization while your guests are stuck shoulder to shoulder. Not ideal.

That’s why we always recommend a yacht with ample space, good backup options for wet weather, and a layout that makes sense for your event.

2. Seeing Is Believing: Why You Should View the Yacht Before Booking

We’re not saying this because we want to do a hard sell. We’ve just seen too many couples regret skipping the yacht viewing.

It’s one thing to read about a yacht’s specs—it’s another thing to step onboard and picture your event happening there. You get a better feel for the space, the vibe, and the flow of the event.

Plus, we genuinely believe in building relationships. No pressure, no obligations—just come for a chat, take a look, and decide when you’re ready.

3. The Big Question: How Much Does a Yacht ROM Cost?

We get it—this is usually the first thing people ask. But instead of just throwing you a number, let’s figure out what you actually want first.

Things That Affect the Price:

✅ Yacht selection – Bigger yachts cost more, but they also come with better comfort and wet-weather options.
✅ Duration – 4 hours? 5 hours? Full-day charter? Longer events cost more, but they give you more time to enjoy.
✅ Extras – Do you want fresh flowers? A balloon setup? Professional photography? A private dining experience? Free-flow drinks?

Instead of thinking, “How much does this cost?” ask, “What do I want my ROM to feel like?” Then we can tailor the package accordingly.

4. ROM Registration & Yacht Plate Number

Once you’ve locked in your yacht, we’ll provide you with the yacht plate number. You’ll need this to register your solemnization with ROM Singapore.

Simple step, but super important—don’t forget it.

5. On-Dock or At Sea? Where to Hold the Ceremony?

Some couples prefer to have their solemnization on the dock before setting sail, while others want to exchange vows out at sea.

Pros & Cons:

🌊 At the dock: Easier for elderly guests, no worries about movement or waves.
🚢 At sea: More private, unbeatable views, and makes for stunning photos.

We recommend setting aside at least 5 hours for the entire event so you can enjoy the ceremony, take plenty of photos, and relax without rushing.

6. What Else to Consider? The Details Matter.

This is where things get fun (or overwhelming, depending on how much you like planning).

Here are some things to think about:

🎶 Entertainment: Live band? Bluetooth speakers? Acoustic guitarist?
🍽 Dining: Buffet, plated meal, BBQ, or canapés? (Yes, we do all of these.)
📸 Photography: Want a pro to capture every moment? It’s worth it.
🎈 Decorations: Fresh flowers, fairy lights, balloon setups—whatever matches your theme.
🍾 Drinks: Non-alcoholic? BYOB? Or should we handle everything?

There’s no right or wrong answer. It’s just about how you want your big day to feel.
