On here?

Scuba would be the closest.

As in power vessels or idiot sticks?

From what I’ve read he may not be able to answer but maybe he can.

Playing The Commodore’s Ball and we’re debating what color tie to wear with our black suits. lol

I say gold.

Actually HT, it would be a black bowtie for a Yachting Commodore's Dress Event. :-)

That’s gonna be a problem.

If it's not a formal event, then it's generally casual wear. Black suit? . . . Navy Blue, regular black or gold tie would be fine. :-)

I googled images of it, and while many in black bowties not all are. One pic of a Commodore's Ball had people wearing ties of every color imaginable lol.

Dress up like an 18 century pirate.

See if you can borrow Captain Sparrow's outfit.

Ask whoever hired you

How many feet is considered a yacht? I ply the ocean with a modest 25 foot vessel.

35’ and up. Yours is a boat.

If has no galley and head, I don't even consider it a boat.

As far as the OP's question goes, the color of the tie does not mater as much as the knot you use. Use a "flying bowline ". Then folks will instantly recognize you as someone who knows his yachts and is a proper salty dawg.

I consider it a fishing and hunting floating tavern.

I would think either of these outfits would pass muster.

Having never seen ya, you might look better in one of Ginger's.

With no disrespect to anyone.I have always found them " Yachting " folks to be a breed of their own.Several of us motor boat folks had our season docks at a "Yacht" club marina for a couple years.One evening I was bringing my 27' Sea Ray Sport Cruiser into dock and it was maybe 25 mile an hour winds.I sure could have used a hand from someone on shore with the ropes,,but NOPE.Them Yacht folks just sat and watched.Luckily,,I can handle that,,and got into dock no problem,,but REALY?And on the opposite side,,I saw a sail boater coming in one evening in a similar situation.I went on his dock and offered him to throw me a rope,,he sais NO,,I got this,,as his boat bounced off two different docks and his wife stood on the bow of his boat about to bounce off.I find them folks just RUDE.
