For a day you’ll never forget on that special occasion, take a once-in-a-lifetime voyage to the world’s waters - rent a sailboat or yacht for your wedding - or for your closest loved ones. Imagine saying your vows while sailing across the ocean blue - either on a bright morning or a lovely afternoon, just as the sun is setting - it’s sure to be an occasion both you and all your guests on board will never forget!
From the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific Rim to the Atlantic shore, sailboat and yacht rental companies are doing big business in weddings and wedding receptions these days, promising a very romantic walk down the aisle - in real style.
Most sailboat and yacht companies are set up to suit your special needs, accommodating from two to 60 guests. Because the romance of getting married at sea is becoming more and more popular, most of the details, such as catering, flowers, champagne, bartending, music, and wedding cakes, are provided by the yacht or sailboat staff or their partners on land. And, although most sailboat captains are licensed to perform weddings, you certainly may provide your own minister or rabbi, as well.
Also, for the all-important photography and/or audiovisual recording of your choice, either bring your own hired hands on board or choose from an array of professional photographers specializing in nautical wedding photography. (For a sample, see www.sfbayimages.com.)
And the celebration certainly doesn’t stop stateside: You can choose to be married anywhere in the world - whether you choose Tahiti in winter or off England’s coast in summer, the world’s your oyster when it comes to a nautical-themed wedding. Sailboats and yachts await you for your special day - if you can imagine it, they can make your dreams come true.
And one more thing: You’ll have the “something borrowed” already covered, leaving you one less item to check off that list!

Last minute vacation or accommodation websites have really taken off in the last few years. They are a fantastic way for resorts and accommodation buildings to take up a bit of slack in there quieter times.
If you use these sites for what they are intended, in other words the accommodation that hasn’t sold then you will get a great deal and a fantastic vacation. If you turn up and expect to get a top floor seaview penthouse then you will probably be very disappointed. Don’t forget this is accommodation no one else wanted at normal rates.
Also be very concious of terms and conditions you book under. If you book for two people and turn up with three it could well cost a bit to have the third stay. If you book late one night then knock on the early next morning the manager may not even be aware you have booked. Most resorts and apartments blocks don’t have a check in time till after lunch and usually two in the afternoon in Australia. Always check and don’t just expect an early checkin.
All in all if you follow the conditions of your booking the last minute accommodation websites are a fantastic way to save thirty percent plus on your vacation which could be well spent on trips and tours, especiallly if you are on a tight budget.
