What to Wear to a Superyacht Dinner — The PP Formal Occasion Guide
Yacht / Style
The on-board formal dinner. Most superyachts above 30 metres have a formal dinner occasion — the captain's table, the owner's birthday dinner, guests arriving from another boat. For him: a navy PP linen shirt with linen trousers and leather shoes; the PP Monte Carlo Blazer in natural silk for the most formally observed occasions. For her: the Amelia linen dress shirt in Oyster with walnut buttons.
The harbour restaurant dinner. The walk from the yacht to the best restaurant in the port — Porto Cervo, St Barts, Antibes, Monaco. A navy PP linen shirt with linen trousers and leather shoes. The PP Monte Carlo Blazer for Monte-Carlo and the most observed harbour restaurants.
“The superyacht dinner is the most formally observed occasion in the yacht-lifestyle calendar. The captain's table, the owner's cocktail party, the harbour restaurant in Gustavia or Porto Cervo — navy PP linen shirt, linen trousers, leather shoes.”
— Pieter Petros, founderThe cocktail hour on deck. The social hour before dinner — the Campari spritz at sunset, the guests arriving by tender. White PP linen shirt with linen trousers for the informal cocktail hour on deck.
The practical dress code reality. Most crewed yachts above 40 metres have a smart casual dress code for dinners communicated before embarkation. The PP linen wardrobe covers the smart casual requirement completely — it is the natural fabric wardrobe the code describes.
