The gulf, yours alone

Charter Eridu: write your own programme

Chartering the yacht means designing your day à la carte: menu, pace, anchorages, guests. A bespoke full day during which we adapt Eridu to your occasion — hen/stag party, birthday, corporate retreat, wedding, family reunion — with the same standards on navigation, service and what ends up on your plate.

For several years we have regularly chartered for groups of 4 to 10 people looking for an alternative to shared cruises. You are never mixed with other guests: the yacht belongs to you and your party.

The most frequent occasions

• Hen & stag parties — A moment apart, away from crowds and clichés, at your own pace. We regularly handle groups of 6 to 10 for aperitivo half-days or full-day swimming cruises. Personalised playlist, optional surprise, absolute discretion.
• Birthdays (30, 40, 50, 60) — The perfect occasion to gather the people who matter, in a setting without tourist tropes. Birthday cake on board, candles, toast at a moment you choose.
• Corporate retreats & incentives — Team building, strategic management meeting, staff gift. A setting that truly disconnects from the office and restarts conversations. Corporate invoicing on quotation.
• Weddings — Post-ceremony cruise, intimate post-wedding dinner, or an informal civil ceremony on board (no legal value but strong symbolism) before the party. We have supported several discreet ceremonies in recent seasons.
• Marriage proposals — We prepare discreetly, with or without the family’s complicity. Champagne, flower bouquet, music at the chosen moment. Confidentiality guaranteed.
• Family reunions — Several generations, one yacht, a day that leaves shared memories. Child life jackets, high chairs possible, menu adaptable to children and elders alike.
• Film shoots & photo sessions — Advertising, music videos, fashion shoots. We can provide a clean, well-maintained yacht with full shooting freedom.
