How to decorate a yacht in Phuket for a birthday or anniversary
Balloons on board, a bouquet on the table, a cake for the moment of the toast - even a few details turn a yacht trip into a personal celebration.
Decorating a yacht is different from decorating a hotel room or a villa: you need to know where the decor goes, when the boat leaves and what the conditions are on board. Here is how to choose an arrangement and what to agree in advance.
Start with the occasion and the spot on board
For a toast during the trip, number balloons, a short personal message or a small table arrangement work well. If you want a festive backdrop for photos, we can discuss a bigger accent and where it goes on the yacht.
First decide when the guests will see the decor: when boarding, as the boat heads out or right before the cake. This helps choose the right size and spot without blocking walkways or getting in the way of guests relaxing.
Send us a photo of the yacht or tell us the boat's name, the date and time of the trip. If you know the marina and meeting point, add them too. Every yacht has a different layout, so it is best to design the arrangement for that particular boat.
If you have not chosen a yacht yet, have a look at the Star Sailing Club catamarans - we can decorate them for your celebration.
What to keep in mind on the water
An open deck gets more sun and wind than a room. In Phuket, latex balloons usually stay afloat for about 10-24 hours, foil and large Bubble balloons for 2-3 days; heat and direct sun can shorten this.
That is why the decor is usually planned close to the time of the celebration. For a long trip, discuss the palette and materials with the team: they will suggest what suits your yacht and the chosen spot.
Not every surface on board can be used to attach decor. We agree on the setup in advance with the person responsible for the yacht, so the arrangement stays in place and does not get in the way of guests or crew.
Decor ideas
A simple greeting. A few number or message balloons by the dining area - a neat accent for a family celebration.
A romantic trip. An arrangement in your palette, a small bouquet and a message on a Bubble balloon suit an anniversary or a proposal.

A birthday with friends. We can put together a bright set and a separate photo backdrop. The size of the decor depends on the free space on board.
A kids' party. Pick a few colour accents and think about where the children will be during the trip. Ask the crew in advance to mark a suitable spot for the decor.

These are starting ideas, not a ready-made set: the final option depends on the yacht, the palette, the number of guests and where exactly the celebration takes place.

How much yacht decoration costs
On our website, yacht decoration starts from 9,000 ฿. The final price depends on the size of the arrangement, the materials, where it is set up and the amount of work.
For a quote, send us the date, the yacht's name or a photo of the boat, the approximate number of guests and a decor reference. We will suggest a suitable option and agree on the price before payment.
When to order
It is best to discuss the decor as soon as you have picked the date of the trip. That gives us time to check materials and agree on the setup with the yacht.
Tell us when the guests will board and by what time the decor should be ready. We agree the setup with the crew and the trip schedule. Whether we can take the decor down afterwards, and the cost, is also confirmed in advance.
If you need a cake for the celebration, keep in mind that it has to be ordered at least a day ahead. The cake can be picked up at our shop in Chalong; delivery to the yacht has to be arranged separately with the manager.
