Static Yacht Charters: The ONLY Way To Do Business

When it comes to doing business, there is no better way to make a splash in your industry than with a static yacht charter. Corporate yacht charters are the ultimate power-branding exercise, allowing you to stamp your company brand on a charter yacht for the duration of any prestigious event—whether that’s the Cannes Film Festival, the Monaco Grand Prix, or a major conference such as MIPIM or the Cannes Lions.

What is a static yacht charter?

A static yacht charter is basically a yacht charter that provides the perfect platform to do business when in port. A great example of this is a corporate charter during an industry event, such as chartering a yacht during the Cannes Film Festival or MIPIM, where the yacht generally stays tied to the dock at the venue for the duration of the event. 

Another supremely popular corporate charter event is the spectacular Monaco Grand Prix, where superyachts line the dock in Port Hercules and companies invite their VIP clients to watch the race close-up. Experience the buzz first-hand with a birds-eye view of the F1 cars hurtling around Rascasse bend. A static yacht charter for the Grand Prix and similar events is the ultimate ‘corporate box’ invitation and can profoundly elevate your brand.

What is the advantage of a static charter?

A static yacht charter has multiple advantages over hotels or other event venues,

With a static charter, you can:

  • Dress the yacht with your company branding for maximum impact and brand recognition.
  • Use the yacht for accommodation for VIP clients or senior staff in a central location. This is logistically convenient and often cheaper than booking adjoining rooms at hotels.
  • Host lunches, dinners, meetings, film screenings and swanky parties onboard. No need (or desire) for an impersonal event venue when you have a superyacht!
  • Enjoy a personalised food experience created by the yacht’s private chef. Your VIP clients/movie directors/esteemed guests can have menus tailored to their tastes rather than relying on a restaurant menu.
  • Be pampered by the yacht’s captain and crew. When it comes to personalised service, nothing beats a superyacht. Your VIP clients cannot fail to be impressed,
  • Enjoy the privacy and discretion of hosting VIPs on a private yacht. Whether you’re throwing a Cannes Film Festival yacht party with celebrities or wanting a quiet business discussion with an industry powerbroker, the privacy of a yacht is golden.

The power of static charters: doing business without ‘doing business’.

A lot of important business can be done at any moment on corporate charters —even whilst sipping champagne, eating caviar canapes and watching the F1!?

Assuming your services are similar to your rivals, an invitation onto a superyacht can separate your business from the pack in a pretty exceptional way.
