Boat events: How they can empower your company

Boats and corporate events is a combination that never fails: we know that a lot is at stake in this type of meetings: possible commercial agreements, the reputation of a firm, the continuity of a project, etc. Boat events can enhance the positive results of all of the above and that is what we want to talk about in this article.

What kind of meetings can be held

The reality is that the variety of events that can be held aboard a catamaran is many. We would say that almost any meeting on land can be replicated on a boat, yacht or catamaran. We are talking about birthdays, parties of all kinds and a long etcetera.

But our specialty is business meetings, work teams. In short, corporate events. They can be to celebrate the end of the year and then convene all your employees, suppliers and partners.

It can also be a more intimate meeting attended only by people in senior positions, for example, if the purpose of the meeting is to set goals or try to reach agreements with third parties.

Another very common option among those who hire our catamarans to meet on board with their teams is to do so in order to strengthen the bonds that unite them, which are very common nowadays to strengthen teamwork, for people to get to know each other in depth in an environment that is not the work routine and even to promote healthy competition.

As you will see, there are many options. You only need to define what kind of business event you need and, depending on that, the whole organization will be based on it.

Benefits of the boat events for your company or organization

You already know that we can help you with the type of meeting you need, but maybe you are still not convinced that there is really a difference between doing a business event on board and doing it on land, in the traditional way.

That is why we are going to detail below some of the advantages that you get, which have been pointed out by our clients and also by our own experience.

Privacy

If you want your meeting to go unnoticed by onlookers or competitors, then you should consider having your next corporate event on a boat. Keep in mind that we are sailing offshore in the Mediterranean, so there are no neighbors snooping around and, if we were to meet another vessel, the distance would be such that no one would be able to see in detail who is on board or what they are talking about.

Another point in favor of the isolation is that those who attend will have their full attention on the meeting, something that does not usually happen in events organized in hotels, for example. No one will be able to leave early for personal reasons and this is a plus to take advantage of the activity from end to end.

The possibility to differentiate yourself

Not all companies hold their events on a boat. We must recognize that this is not an activity for everyone and this gives you the opportunity to stand out. In this way you implicitly demonstrate that the meeting is important and that those who attend it are also important. You are aware of that relevance and, therefore, you treat those involved to an event they will not easily forget.

Exclusivity

We do not work with several groups at the same time, which gives our guests the possibility to personalize everything. Of course, your brand image and branding can be present in our facilities so that no one has any doubts about who is the organizer in charge. You will be able to choose what activities to do on board and, with that in mind, choose the menu from our extensive menu.

Tips for a successful organization of events on board a ship

For a meeting (whatever it may be) to go well and for the guests to go home happy at the end, for agreements to be closed and bonds to be strengthened, some things have to happen first. That is called organization and our team will be there to assist you at all times. However, here are some important elements to keep in mind.

First, define the objective of your business event

Without a clear goal, things are very likely to go wrong. So, what you need is a meeting to close a business deal, a meeting between authorities and collaborators to foster healthy competition, teamwork and strengthen ties, perhaps you need to present a new product to potential clients, or close the year with a big celebration to honor those who made the successes of this cycle possible?

Depending on the objective of the event, there is a second stage of decision making: how many people will attend, who will actually attend, what activities should be organized to meet the objective and that these are compatible with the profile of the guests (for example, it would be strange to organize a day with swimsuits if you are trying to close a business deal), what is the most suitable food, etc.

No decision can be made without first defining the purpose of the meeting.

Choose the date

With several definitions in hand, it’s time to set the date for the event and book the boat. At this point we suggest you do it as far in advance as possible to make sure we have the perfect catamaran for the occasion. In addition, this type of organization involves taking into account many details, which takes time.

Enrich the experience with activities

To make your company’s event a true onboard experience, it is advisable to enrich it with activities. Of course, aligned to the objective we talked about before and to the type of people who will attend. Some ideas could be: a yoga class, scuba diving, wine tasting, rounds of ice-breaking activities, etc.
