Games on yachts

Let your charter crew take care of everything – you just have to say what type of games on yachts you prefer. There is even an option of the crew going out and procuring a new tabletop game or something outside of the yacht`s game library if you mention it on your preference sheet. Adults will want to relax in a comfortable environment, preferably with something that will be enjoyable and easy to do (like cards), while the younger crowd drowns their instincts in the latest FPS or RPG.

Families with children find that yachts offer ideal surroundings for organising a family game night; alternatively, the parents might find some time for privacy and peace, while their kids enjoy the huge library of analogue and digital games on yachts for charter.

Have fun with board games

In the afternoon, when you are done playing with your water toys, why not relax and enjoy time with your charter party, by playing a fun board game on the sundeck of your yacht? Of course, there are other venues to choose from; for instance, if the wind is blowing too hard or the summer heat is too strong, you can ask your crew to set up your favourite board game in the main deck interior salon

Prepare to think back on your childhood with traditional games on yachts like Monopoly, Risk, Trivial Pursuit or Scrabble. Feel the nostalgia factor as you move the pieces on the board and try to outsmart the members of your charter party. Alternatively, you can try modern board games like the globally-popular Settlers of Catan, Civilisation, Scythe or Azul, an abstract game with a beautiful aesthetic.

Remember, your chart crew will take care of all the preparations, setting up the board, preparing the pieces and tidying up afterwards, so you do not need to burden yourself with anything else than just playing and enjoying the game.

After setting up the board, the crew can also take care of snacks, drinks or anything else needed for a prolonged gaming session. If you have some time in the afternoon or in the evening during your yacht holiday, board games on yachts present a good opportunity to spend some quality time with your charter party and enjoy harmless fun. You can also set fun prizes for winners or challenges for losers.

Enjoy costume-made game tables

Some yachts are equipped with gaming tables – special setups where two or more guests can sit in comfortable armchairs and enjoy a game of chess, chequers, go or other old-school games. These tables are usually equipped with highly-stylised game pieces like chess sets made of marble, mahogany checkers or go sets from ivory.

The accompanying armchairs are always incredibly comfortable and feature an alluring design that will keep you glued to the game for hours. Some yachts even feature customizable poker tournament tables, with green velveteen fabric and appropriate lighting and chairs, to create the ultimate poker atmosphere.

Check out ONE BLUE and the design of her interior main salon, where every inch of the salon can be transformed into a private and luxurious poker den. ONE BLUE even has an interior veranda in the main deck salon, which features a chess games table.

Every game table is always located close to a fully equipped interior bar, which will be a crucial element in creating a total impression of a bespoke floating casino. Imagine whiskey at the table, cigars on the main deck aft, and smooth jazz music playing on the Bose surround sound speakers, while cards fall and chance shows its unusual face.

Let your kids enjoy bespoke game rooms

Fully-equipped game rooms can usually be found on yachts that are long enough to be able to convert a guest cabin to this very specific purpose. These high-tech fortresses of digital delights feature the latest and greatest in gaming technology, including the newest Play Station gaming console or the best VR set money can buy.

Besides digital games on yachts, toys are also present, with brain-teasers made of wood for the younger crowd and the inescapable Lego sets, featuring the newest cartoon trend. If your yacht has a fully dedicated game room, then you can rest assured that the attention of your children will be fully immersed in its infinite possibilities. This way, parents can freely relax while their kids are entertained by the magnitude of different game possibilities aboard your yacht charter.

Bask in high-tech digital entertainment

Utilise the full potential of your yacht charter and create a bespoke entertainment environment, thanks to numerous gadgets and high-tech widgets. The quantity and quality of the latest technology aboard your yacht are equal to a mini Techno-expo, so sit down and relax in front of the full-sized cinema canvass with a projector.

After a movie on the big screen, you can connect your mobile phone via Bluetooth to the onboard Bose speakers or the flat-screen TV and play your favourite tunes or the latest stream of top Netflix series. Remember, yachts are palaces of technology, able to satisfy even the most hard-core of gear freaks, so there is no surprise.

Take a nostalgia trip with social games on yachts

Social games often provide the necessary push forward for an evening on a yacht to turn into an all-night laugh fest, with your charter party playing together or against each other in a number of different challenges, all of which have no winner or loser, only fun as a primary purpose.

These include games like charades, a classic post-dinner game best played in the main deck interior salon. Drink premium champagne as your guests try to convey a complicated term, only using pantomime.

There is also a possibility of your crew organising a live roleplaying murder mystery night on the yacht. One of your guests will be „murdered“ and it is up to you and your charter party to find the culprit, all the while having terrific fun.

There are also plenty of drinking games, each one being a variation of the previous; drinking as much as you can in the shortest amount of time; you can even organise a „mini pub crawl“, making a stop at each bar on your yacht.

If these games are not for you, a game of Pictionary might be the perfect fit for a charter party that would like nothing else than to sit in the comfortable main deck salon lounge and watch as a guest tries to draw an elephant like a Christmas tree, while also stopping yourself from dying of laughter.

There are also simpler games, like Dizzy Bat (excellent with alcohol, but may cause dizziness and nausea) or Never Have I Ever, a party classic. As always, you can count on your competent charter crew to set up and prepare all the games and tidy up, while you enjoy all the fun.

You will definitely have fun enjoying games on yachts

Yachts offer many different ways of having fun on your holiday. Besides the style, comfort, design and excellent cuisine, playing with toys is a favourite pass time, enjoyed by countless charter guests. In this case, the category of „toys“ is incredibly broad, incorporating every game mentioned in the article above, and then some. One thing that this article did not include was water toys, which were excluded from the list because the type of experience they offer is fundamentally different from toys and games onboard yachts.

All in all, a yacht charter holiday is a perfect time to get in touch with your inner child, have fun with your charter party or enjoy watching your children play with the plethora of different toys aboard your yacht charter. But, keep in mind not to dismiss the beautiful Adriatic nature and the crystal-clear sea; always remember that moderation is key to every pleasant experience, even gaming.
