This winter, step it up a notch and ditch that old, dull party venue for your company get together and holiday celebrations. Instead, plan your next business event on a luxurious charter yacht! Offer your guests a chance of pace, and believe us when we tell you that your standard conference hall pales in comparison to our modern Aqua Azul yacht. Let our ship leave you and your guests full of happy and joyful memories. We promise that it will be an experience that will be remembered for a lifetime. Want your corporate event to go down without a hitch? Check out our helpful tips on how to successfully plan a company yacht party.
1. Make a list and determine the tentative guest head count. This will help you out greatly when it comes time to choose your yacht.
2. When choosing your boat, make sure it can safely handle all of your tentative guests. Knowing the ship’s maximum guest capacity will help you plan with fewer headaches down the road.
3. On the RSVPs, collect a bit of background information on the guests. Due to today’s diverse workplace, it’s not uncommon for people to have food allergies, food intolerances, have ethical convictions (such as being a vegan or vegetarian), or who practice religious beliefs that may prohibit them from certain activities. You want all of your guests to feel comfortable and welcome.
4. Take into consideration the various factors that affect your guests. Use the information gathered from the RSVPs to plan out your entertainment options, as well as your menu.
5. Determine what time of day works best for your guests. Also, figure out the length of time you want the cruise to be. A short NYC dinner cruise is an excellent way to give a simple “thank you” to your employees. However, if you are trying to impress important clients, a cruise that’s 4 hours or more may be more appropriate.
6. Arrange transportation for your guests, especially if you plan on having a big guest list. Parking can be difficult if your party is large enough and you don’t want to take the chance of someone missing out on the fun, all because they couldn’t find a parking spot.
7. Plan appropriate entertainment for your guests, just remember to reference the information collected from your RSVPs. If you consider your guests when planning your entertainment, everyone is sure to have an unforgettable experience.
8. Have a theme for the party. Having a theme is an easy way to add a bit more excitement to the festivities and make it out of the ordinary. However, remember to reference the information collected! You don’t want to choose a theme that may make a particular group feel uncomfortable and alienated.
