What to Wear at a Superyacht Deck Party — The PP Wardrobe

Pieter Petros August 2026 5 min read

The superyacht deck party — the cocktail hour hosted on the main deck or the sundeck — is the most social and most photographed moment of the charter period. It is distinct from the formal captain's dinner in its character: more fluid, more social, and set against the backdrop of the golden hour on the water.

For him. A white PP linen shirt fully buttoned with linen trousers and leather shoes for the early evening deck party. The PP Monte Carlo Blazer in natural silk over the white or navy PP linen shirt for the most formally observed deck party occasions.

“The superyacht deck party — the cocktail hour before the formal dinner — is the most social and most photographed moment of the charter. White PP linen to navy transition; the Monte Carlo Blazer for the most observed occasions.”

— Pieter Petros, founder

For her. The Amelia linen dress shirt in Hibiscus or Coral Orange for the most occasion-celebratory deck party wardrobe — the warm sea air and the golden hour reward the most vivid Amelia colourways at this specific moment. The Amelia in Oyster for the most composed and most formally correct choice.

The transition timing. The deck party on a superyacht typically begins at the sundowner hour — 6 to 7pm — and transitions to the dinner at 8 to 9pm. The PP linen wardrobe at the deck party carries forward into the dinner without a change of clothes.

The practical consideration. A superyacht deck has motion even at anchor. Leather shoes with appropriate soles; nothing with a heel that could mark the teak deck.
