A trip out on a boat leaves a deeper impression than any meeting room. That is why more and more companies choose a yacht to reward their staff, welcome important clients or hold a confidential meeting. Here is how to set up a corporate event on a yacht.
What kind of event
- Incentive: a day or a weekend on a boat as a reward for the team.
- Client hospitality: a sunset dinner, a trip out during a major event.
- Confidential meeting: away from phones and prying eyes.
- Team building: a day at sea, water toys, a shared lunch.
A day, an evening or several days
Many corporate events last a few hours: an afternoon outing with aperitifs, a dinner at anchor. For incentives, a weekend with overnight stays on board can be considered. The number of people allowed varies a lot: boats often carry more guests by day than overnight.
Choosing the boat
Common areas count: cockpit, flybridge, an indoor saloon for a presentation. For large groups, several boats can sail together. Discover our luxury charters.
Catering and service
An event needs service to match. The private chef on board prepares the menu, stewardesses and waiters welcome the guests and serve aperitifs and dinner, and a sommelier looks after the wines.
Logistics
- Transfers from the hotel or airport to the port.
- Precise boarding and disembarkation times.
- An alternative plan in case of bad weather.
- Discreet security for high-profile guests.
Memories and communication
A photographer or videographer can capture the event, with photos and a short video ready for internal communications or the company’s social media.
Invoicing
You receive a single proposal with all the services and pay one supplier: Nautica Luxury Corporation. Contracts, invoices and payments always go through us.
Frequently asked questions
How far in advance should we organise?
For high season and the dates of major events it is best to move a few months ahead. For off-season events lead times can be shorter.
Can the boat be branded with the company logo?
Some elements, such as printed menus or small decorations, yes. This must be agreed beforehand with us and the owner.
