About Event Yacht Charter

Nothing is more memorable and impressive than an event held on a private luxury yacht, complete with attentive crew, 5 Star catering and complete event facilities. Meetings go better, clients feel special, and staff feel truly rewarded on a yacht! If you have a corporate event, trade show or awards trip, we can probably help you make it "float"!

Boatbookings.com has years of experience managing all types of corporate events on a broad range of yachts worldwide. We've put Hollywood stars aboard boats at the Cannes Film Festival, helped hundreds of Rugby and Cricket Fans follow their teams at their World Cups, and arranged countless corporate celebrations. We've sourced hundreds of boats that have the features, layout and crew required to make an event successful. We look at your needs and then match the boat, crew and venue to help you achieve these goals.

Events fall into the categories of Static Charters (where the yacht is docked throughout a show, such as MIPIM in Cannes), Events (such as the Monaco Grand Prix and America's Cup), and Corporate Meetings or Rewards Events.

Static Charters for Shows

Static Charters - where the yacht is moored by the dock for the entire show - allow you to align your brand with a Super Yacht and use the impressive interior as your show booth. This is a standard way of hosting functions and entertaining clients at conferences such as MIPIM, MIDEM and MIPCOM in Cannes.

During a Static Charter, the yacht is transformed into a meeting and entertainment facility. Additional carpets are brought on board to protect the decks, which are typically tented so that guests have privacy and protection from the elements during the show. The crewmembers keep the guests happy throughout the day by offering refreshments and canapes. During the evening, most companies invite their best clients aboard for cocktails and a gourmet dinner, eaten in an elegant private dining room or up on the deck.

As an added benefit, members of the chartering company can sleep aboard their yacht during the show, saving hotel room cost and providing a nice "perk" for those who are working hard at the show. They will be taken care of by their attentive crew throughout the show in exactly the same manner as if they had chartered the yacht for a two week luxury holiday cruise.

Event Charters

Whenever there is a major event held near a port, such as the Cannes Film Festival, Monaco Grand Prix or America's Cup, there's a thriving yachting scene. Yachts become the private entertainment areas, mixing business with pleasure and a lot of networking. Yachts become private and exclusive entertainment areas, mixing business with pleasure and a lot of networking. The yachting component is every bit as exciting as the event itself, and passengers of course often tender back and forth to the docks.

Chartering successfully at these events requires indepth background knowledge of the event, familiarity of relevant port regulations and processes, and a sound understanding of which yachts best can meet the client's needs. Do you want to portray a "flash" or "classic" image? Do you need to be moored at the pier or will a floating party at anchor suffice? How many guests will you be entertaining? Knowing as much information as possible early on will allow us to find you the right boat for your specific requirements.

Yachts for these events tend to return year after year, to enjoy the event and rekindle friendships and business relationships.

Corporate Entertainment

If you have a yearly awards banquet, client getaway, or any other special event that you really want to be "special", they we highly recommend doing the next one on a yacht! We have many corporate clients who make a yacht based event the highlight of their entire year. How about a private jet to the South of France, followed by a luxury cruise to the major Riviera Ports, and return? The next major deal you do can be signed on a yacht right before a gourmet lunch in St Tropez, Portofino or Nassau.

Replace the same hotel or resort with a luxury yacht and you will see the results as your colleages thank you for one of the most amazing events of their lives!
