Off-site
A Corporate Retreat
Two days, one night, six to twelve people, one decision. Held at anchor with the engines off.
A conference room is an excellent place to roll out a plan. It is, in our experience, a quite bad place to write one. A yacht at anchor is the opposite environment — the only meeting room we know of where the people in it are forced to be present. Phones lose signal between coves. The view changes every fifteen minutes. The chef serves real food and there is no clock visible from the table.
Most corporate charters we run are two days, one night, six to twelve people, focused on one decision. The decision is on a page by lunch on day two; the afternoon is spent writing it up.
The office handles
Quietly,
in the background.
- 01A salon set up as a working room — single screen mounted at one end, no projector, phones in a tray on a side table
- 02A note-taker at the head of the table, plugged into the boat's power, if the meeting needs minutes
- 03Coffee poured continuously by a stewardess who otherwise is invisible
- 04A chef briefed on dietary preferences in advance — no questions at the table, no surprises
- 05A short cruise between sessions to a new anchorage — the morning of day two feels like a different boat
- 06Discreet branded napkins or printed agendas if the host wants them — almost never recommended

Suggested yachts
Built for this kind of day.
35.0 mFriendship
115ft Benetti — the flagship of the fleet. Refit in 2019, full-beam master suite, four further guest cabins, and a sundeck built for shaded dining at twelve. A crew of six runs the boat as a household: chef, two stewards, captain, two engineers. Built for weeks aboard, not days.
31.0 mDark Knight
102ft Leopard with twin MTUs, 26 knots flat. Built for owners who'd rather arrive than cruise — Formentera in forty minutes, Mallorca before lunch. Twelve guests across five staterooms; a crew of four who've been aboard since the 2023 refit.
31.0 mLa Romana
Sister hull to Dark Knight, refit 2024. Same Leopard 102 chassis, same twin MTUs — finished in warm teak and cream. Flybridge jacuzzi, foredeck sun pads, a tender lift that handles 4.2m. Quieter at speed than the original.
30.2 mLady KC
99ft Maiora with zero-speed stabilisers — comfortable at anchor in any swell. Flybridge jacuzzi, sun beds, sound system, and a full provisioning package included: seabob, jet ski, paddleboards, drinks. The reliable choice for guests who value stillness over speed.

Questions we hear
Most-asked.
Can we host a board meeting properly on a yacht?+
Yes — we have run dozens. The salon is rigged as a working room with eight to twelve seats, a single screen, papers, a note-taker. We only quote yachts with stabilisers and a properly insulated salon for board meetings.
What about Wi-Fi for sharing materials?+
Every yacht in our corporate selection has Starlink. Speeds are sufficient for video calls, large file transfers, screen sharing. We test it the morning of the charter and keep a 4G failover on the boat.
How discreet is the crew?+
We brief the crew specifically for corporate charters. Coffee is poured continuously without being asked, the stewardess is invisible after the welcome.
