For business meetings, a corporate yacht charter is an ideal fusion of business and pleasure in a picturesque setting
Superyacht charters in particular lend themselves well to meeting or conferences, as many boast areas specifically for these requirements. Comfortable formal meeting spaces and conferences are onboard many a charter vessel, complete with state-of-the-art technology and hi-speed Wi-Fi.

Thinking of booking an event charter for the first time? Here are some points to consider before making your final decision on a vessel.
- Business goals: always outline what the event charter's intention is. Having a clear focus (a product launch, for example) means your yacht charter broker can tailor the event down to the finest details, ensuring your occasion goes off with a bang.
- Be transparent: about guests onboard from the get-go. If you intend to throw a huge annual extravaganza for 50 plus guests for your firm, but tell your broker it's just a company retreat for 5 people, this could cause major legal complications, and it could be costly in terms of potential damages payable to you.
- You may need a yacht that is SOLAS compliant: if you require accommodation for more than 12 guests. This is down to the REG (Red Ensign Group) Yacht Code and SOLAS regulations which limit guests' numbers to 12 if they do not have a special permit, which can be costly and complicated to obtain. It pays to double-check with your broker if the vessel you are interested in meets these regulations.
- If you are looking to organize a static yacht charter, remember that yachts' maximum capacities vary between vessels.
- Protective carpeting may be necessary in order to protect teak decking, which can be easily scuffed or dented by shoes. The charterer will need to pay for any damages.
To find out how you can surpass expectations and turn your event into something spectacular, enlist the services of a yacht charter broker, who can put together this incredible experience for you. Securing an event yacht rental requires meticulous planning, which your broker will gladly take care of on your behalf. From arranging all paperwork to ensuring you have an experienced corporate crew who know how to handle events with aplomb, everything is streamlined and curated according to your needs.
