If you're planning a bachelorette weekend at Lake of the Ozarks, put a day on the water near the top of the list.

A private yacht gives the whole group a chance to hang out, swim, cruise and celebrate without making one of your friends responsible for driving the boat. With Iconic Yacht Charters, your captain handles the boat and your group gets to enjoy the day.

Why a private yacht?

The biggest perk is having your own space. You're not sharing the experience with another party, and the day doesn't have to follow someone else's schedule.

Turn up your playlist, find a spot to swim, relax on board or simply cruise the lake together. It can be as laid-back or as celebratory as your group wants it to be.

What can you do during the charter?

That depends on your group. Some parties want an afternoon of swimming and hanging out. Others would rather cruise, enjoy the yacht and take in the lake. If photos are a priority, an afternoon charter leading into golden hour is hard to beat.

The point is to make the charter fit the weekend, not make the weekend fit the charter.

Nobody in the group has to be the driver

This is a big one for bachelorette groups. Nobody wants the bride or one of her friends spending the day navigating Lake of the Ozarks while everyone else celebrates.

With a professional captain handling the yacht, everyone gets to be part of the day.

What should you bring?

Keep it easy. Bring swimsuits, towels, sunscreen, sunglasses and whatever you want for photos. Guests can bring food and beverages under Iconic's current charter policies, and our team can also help with recommendations if you want to elevate the experience.

Book before the rest of the weekend fills up

Bachelorette weekends usually involve a lot of moving pieces: lodging, dinners, travel plans and reservations. Once you know your dates, it's smart to get the yacht locked in rather than leaving it until the last minute.

Peak summer dates are especially popular, so earlier is better if your group has a specific day and time in mind.

Make the charter part of the weekend

You don't need to plan the entire trip around the yacht. Make it the centerpiece of one day. Grab brunch, head to the marina for your charter, then go to dinner or out for the night afterward.

It gives everyone something memorable to do together without turning the whole weekend into an itinerary.

Make it Iconic

At the end of the weekend, the best memories usually come from the things everyone actually got to do together. Your closest friends, a private yacht and a summer day at Lake of the Ozarks is a pretty good combination.
