5 Ways a Corporate Yacht Event Can Boost Business
A corporate yacht charter is the ultimate way to position yourself in the luxury sphere, catapulting you into a whole new arena of opulence and highlighting your business’s ability to adapt to different environments while still delivering exceptional service.
With unrivalled levels of privacy and exclusivity, complemented by a fully-personalised service, corporate yacht charters are luxury redefined, offering the kind of all-round experience that other venues simply can’t compete with.
As networking becomes largely remote, albeit immersive, we need to make our in-person meetings count and there can be few better ways to live in the moment than onboard a yacht.
Whether you’re planning an event charter, a yacht team-building exercise, or want to elevate your VIP networking opportunities, a business yacht charter opens up an ocean of possibilities that allow people to connect on a much deeper level than through a screen.
1. Building a stronger team
Business yacht charters can be a valuable tool when it comes to yacht team building experiences and creating the best possible team.
Perhaps you’re planning an away-day sailing regatta, where teams must work together to achieve a common goal by communicating effectively and flexing their problem-solving skills.
Maybe an indulgent retreat in which you whisk employees away on a luxury yacht to think more laterally and collaborate on new ideas is more suited to your business needs? Whichever style of team building exercise you are planning, the chances are you will reap the benefits.
By inviting your employees on a corporate yacht charter, you’re showing them not only that you value them, but that you believe you are stronger together.
2. Solidifying client relationships
A business yacht charter offers a unique, luxurious setting to build stronger, more personal relationships with key clients.
By taking your stakeholders and investors away on a superyacht charter you can show your gratitude for their continued support as well as outline your commitment to ingenuity and ambitious plans. And while discussions with decision makers can be made virtually, you still can’t beat an in-person conversation – though one onboard a luxury superyacht is even better.
Corporate yacht charters can turn functional meetings into transformative business retreats, with facilities such as wellness centres and pools ensuring your guests are fully present in the moment, with none of the distractions of everyday life.
The flexibility of a yacht charter also allows you to bend to your client’s needs, whether in terms of accessibility, dietary requirements, or location, and show your dedication to delivering excellence, no matter where you are in the world.
3. Showing appreciation to your clients and employees
The superyacht lifestyle is often the preserve of the privileged few, so by extending the offering to your employees or inviting clients onboard, you’re showing them how much you appreciate them.
By treating clients and employees to this level of opulence, you will leave them feeling pampered, respected, and treasured. With increased confidence in how you view them, your clients and team are more likely to show loyalty in return.
4. Enhanced creativity & productivity
The serene, luxury environment of a corporate yacht charter promotes creativity and new ideas, which can bring huge benefits to business strategy and planning sessions and increase employee engagement.
By taking your staff out of their daily comfort zone and inviting them to experience new levels of comfort, you’re showing them what can be achieved if they really set their minds to it.
Plus, the freedom of the open sea all around and the endless opportunities it affords is like an allegory of the limitless options their career offers.
5. Networking opportunities
A yacht offers the perfect environment for business leaders to network in a relaxed, exclusive and private setting.
Remove the shackles of normal business life and impress your clients with prestigious access to VIP events and premium experiences they will never forget.
Event charters provide excellent opportunities to entertain clients and investors in incomparable style. You can provide front-row seats to thrilling spectacles such as the Monaco Grand Prix, while your superyacht charter crew can secure guestlist places at some of the world’s most glamorous parties and premieres, including the Cannes Film Festival.
Planning the Perfect Corporate Yacht Event
When organising a corporate yacht charter there are a few practicalities to consider before booking.
The first thing to consider is the type of corporate charter you’re looking for. Would you like to host high-end clients on an event charter in a marina for a few days, or take some VIPs on a business charter around the Greek Islands for a week? This might dictate the type of corporate charter yacht you need – be it a palatial superyacht, a traditional sailing yacht, or even a planing motor yacht.
You’ll also need to think about how many guests will be staying onboard and how many cabins you’ll need to comfortably accommodate them and what their expectations will be – will this be a corporate yacht party or is the focus more on luxury team building activities?
And you’ll need to consider if there are other elements that are crucial to your hosting needs – for instance, do you require a conference room for sit-down meetings, or do you plan to have most of your conversations round the pool?
Once you have chosen your perfect corporate charter yacht, the key is to liaise with your captain and crew from the earliest opportunity so they can fully understand your charter requirements, including catering needs and your preferred wine and cocktail list.
