One of the fastest growing trends for corporate events and meetings is to have a corporate social gathering on a high class yacht. It is an opportunity to get away from the work environment and do something new, fun and memorable. Sure, as a corporate event planner, you could have another party at one of the executive’s homes, or you could rent a restaurant or some other facility if you have a large number of guests, but it’s not going to be something people want. be talking about the next quarter. When you have a party on a yacht, they will talk about it for years.
As the author of “What They Don’t Teach You at Harvard Business School” pointed out; business is about people. And people want to do business with other people they like and trust. Having a business or corporate social party on a luxury yacht brings people together as everyone enjoys the pleasurable experience as one. There you are in the open sea, watching the lights of the coast from afar, you feel an unusual and refreshing sense of camaraderie. After all, at no other time is that famous quote; “We are all in this boat together”, more appropriate.
When searching for a solid party yacht charter company, it is imperative that the yacht is clean, the crew is experienced, and the captain is competent. It’s also wise to secure a company that has been around for a while, one that knows everything that could go wrong and goes to great lengths to make sure it doesn’t. The bigger the party yacht the better, as larger boats don’t push each other like smaller boats often do. They just glide through the waves and guests feel safe.
Party Yachts can be configured to best suit your event. Let’s say you’re having a wedding and you want a big dance floor. That’s not a problem. Perhaps you want a large dining room for 100-300 guests, along with a nice meeting room. How about chartering a yacht for a sunset cocktail party? How about an afternoon cruise in the whale transit zones? Guests can watch some whales, then watch the sunset, have some cocktails, and grab a bite to eat. How will you design your perfect yacht party event?
It’s easy to see why yacht parties are becoming so popular with corporate movers and shakers. Renting a party yacht speaks volumes about your intention to bring together your employees, crew, most loyal suppliers and corporate partners in a common passion. What you will find is that everyone you invite will want to come, no one will make excuses for not being able to attend as is common when you rent a hotel banquet hall or restaurant. It’s amazing how just one yacht party cruise can unite and bring everyone so much closer together.
