Reception Idea: Take Your Party Sailing
From the Words of One of Our Brides

"I wanted to let you know we loved planning the sailing excursion for our reception. It depends on what you are looking for, but I have always been a water girl...so it naturally suited me. I was surprised because almost everyone got in! The sailboat was equipped with snorkel gear for the whole party. All of my guests had a ball!

We decided to reserve the larger boat, and it turned out wonderfully. I would recommend the bigger sailboat because it had so many perks. Even a slide! The crew took us to a remote place where we could swim and snorkel for a while.

The only thing I would do differently is plan to have more food prepared. The food went quickly--anytime you add water and sports, people get hungry! I didn't think of that. Plan ahead with more than you think you need if you are planning an excursion. I would also arrange transportation from the catamaran when you arrive back at the dock.

If water is your thing instead of first dances and formality, then this activity is perfect for you! As you noticed, the emphasis was on the actual ceremony (2 hours on the beach!) and our adventurous spirit! We had a blast and would not change a thing...except maybe jumping off that boat in my dress then leaving it there! Carrying that thing around was more than a hassle. Hah! In closing, go with the bigger boat, more food, and order more waterproof cameras on the boat!"
