7 Small Company Boat Outing Ideas

adminevents, Tips

small company boat outing

When was the last time you, as a CEO, had a fruitful outing on a boat with your staff? When was the last time, besides an overseas retreat sailing on the boat, you ever had a lively 4 to 5 hours charters with your workforce to bond the company together? Or perhaps with the impending June school holidays, you want to have a family outing for the company? This means your staff also bring their family members along onboard at the company level. (If your company is of a bigger level, check this out instead) Normal Chill Out Sessions One way of organising a corporate outing on a marine vessel is just by doing simple get-together sessions. This means that there is no theme like any team building activity sessions or dinner and dance event. However, this doesn’t mean totally no objectives during the yacht charter outing trips. You can be sipping drinks with catered food while on the flybridge, viewing the sea or sunset. The objective is a very simple one – knowing each other more closely. Valencia Yachts have yachts that fit to maximum of 40 persons. Our Valencia yacht for charter can fit up to 40 persons, while our Victoria yacht can fit up to 28 persons. They are perfect water ride venues for the outdoors. Though Victoria is more for outdoor lovers who love to seek more Vitamin D sunshine. Just by talking to each other with a drink on hand also helps in nice conversations also helps in ways you may not know yet. Sometimes, not having any hidden commercial agenda is more productive because they know the intention is not there. Internal Networking If there is some functional agenda within the company, or you are doing it for your members (who are your company clients) to network with each other, our boats in the water can also foster such networking sessions. Some companies can do some internal networking, though informal, to get the employees together. It may or may not be through team building games. It’s plausible that the staff may not know each other, especially if the size is more than 25 people. Hence, an internal networking program session can be done in our yachts too. Barbecue Food Barbecue food, ah! Our 4 main catamarans – Valencia, Victoria, Maximum 1 and Maximum 2, have barbecue functions in our flybridges. The barbecue are operated using gas grilles, instead of using the more manual fire starters and charcoal. BBQ food while yacht chartering is another way to bond the staff and management together, even in a small company. In fact, a the company is smaller in size with no more than 30 onboard, there is a greater advantage of closeness and the barbecue food session is one good way to enhance the cohesiveness. Karaoke Sessions Tired of any outdoor rain or sunshine? Try our indoor karaoke functions with Maximum 1 and Maximum 2 yachts. You can also organise a boat karaoke party, along with food catering or BBQ at the flybridge to sing along your lungs out! Read about holding a boat karaoke party Simple Cooking Or Baking Have you ever thought that holding some baking or cooking sessions for the food enthusiasts would be a good way for team bonding? Our yachts have a simple oven and a cooking stove available. They even come with kitchen sinks and refrigerators. Apart from the BBQ gas grilles, some kitchen equipment makes it convenient and desirable for simple cooking too. As long as you know some ingredients and recipe for your favourite cooked food, it is good … Read More

types of food catering

Do you want to enjoy a food barbecue onboard a yacht while it sails around the seas of Singapore? Do you wish to have an indoor dining activity so you can network around and chit chat to get to know each other? Do you want to have some party such as a birthday, company or family gathering or celebration, along with good eats to make it less dull?  Or you might just wish to avoid having empty stomachs during the charter trips? In this post, we will show you various types of food which you can consider before you physically get onboard. Do you fear that there are certain food types which are restricted? Don’t worry, as we ensure that all the below food options cater to halal requirements (except alcoholic drinks). Barbecue Seafood  A seafood BBQ is a popular choice for yacht charters in Singapore. You can have a variety of seafood like prawns, squid, fish, and crab grilled on board the yacht.  This is indeed the top choice for food caterers who charter our yachts. Some of the seafood come from catches during their fishing charter trips too. Most seafood are ordered raw and cooked while onboard using the BBQ pits which are gas-grilled. At our yachts, the BBQ pits are available in the more outdoor exposed flybridge. This is where our guests usually gather around to have their seafood grilled to much delightful taste.  @valenciayachts Seafood feast with crabs possible during yacht charter #sgyacht #valenciayachts #sentosayachtsingapore #sentosayachtsingapore ♬ Yummy – Justin Bieber Satay Skewers Satay skewers are a great option for a yacht charter in Singapore! As a popular local dish, satay consists of marinated meat (usually chicken, beef, or mutton) skewered and grilled, and served with a peanut dipping sauce.  Satay skewers are easy to eat on a yacht and can be enjoyed as a snack or as part of a larger meal, including other BBQ favourites like seafood and chicken wings. And they are also easy to order from various food catering businesses in Singapore. Many sell in sticks of 30 and above. This is mainly because one can easily chew off at least 3 easily. Spaghetti And Gratin Besides getting raw uncooked food, it is also possible to get food that is readily made and even cooked beforehand as well. We have our crew, some of whom possess great culinary skills. They are also well trained in yacht hospitality, with service standards comparable to those of hotel ones. Though this applies more to superyacht, we have experienced this before with our spaghetti and gratin, served to the dining table. Our guests happily enjoyed the gratin and even remarked that the spaghetti, which was aglio olio, is a healthy meal with the use of the olive oil. Star Of The Sea superyacht has an indoor dining table which corporations can use for some chill out or serious business networking gathering. At this table, consumption of the spaghetti and gratin is also more possible with the convenient ambience and ease of dining. High Tea If you want to have a luxurious yacht charter experience, you can opt for a high tea. You can have a selection of tea, scones, sandwiches, and cakes served in a stylish and elegant manner.  This English food tradition has been popular in Singapore since English colonial times but it doesn’t fade away even in the waters. And it’s actually simple to munch while sitting at the dining table to network. Even in the smaller yachts, you can take a piece at a time and chew while chit chatting with others in … Read More

5 delicious catering ideas for your yacht wedding feast

Hosting a wedding on private yacht charters can be so exciting and fulfilling. Not only will you give your guests an exclusive experience with gorgeous views of the surrounding landscapes, but you will also have the chance to really embody the nautical environment. When you don’t have all the cooking and kitchen facilities on a private yacht than what you would have on a typical wedding venue, picking catering options can be quite tricky. Still, it’s of no trouble, and it only means you stand a chance to brainstorm a little further for a scrumptious feast ahead! Without further ado, here is a complete list of delicious catering ideas you can consider for your wedding on a yacht. Sushi Sushi can be prepared the morning of the wedding, or freshly by an onboard sushi chef (if you decide to rope in one). California rolls, salmon roses, maki, sashimi, and nigiri are all bite-sized and delicious. Furthermore, you can add a variety of salmon salads, caviar entrees, and seaweed wraps onto the spread. What’s great about sushi, is that there are many different fried and fresh options available as well as vegetarian options. Arabian tapas or Meze  Perfect for a full-on meal or snacks during the celebrations are Arabian tapas. Each guest can choose which tapas to plate up and enjoy a taste from another country. These tapas can include small portions of olives, cheese, battered squid, calamari, croquettes, cured ham, tomato, feta, and potato cubes. Combined with a variety of flour tortillas or pieces of bread, this can be a great indulgence for guests. Seafood buffet Most weddings on boats have onboard chefs who are extremely talented in creating amazingly delicious meals from the ocean life found in the area. Having an entire spread made out of different kinds of seafood is a real treat for all guests. The seafood buffet can include a variety of squid, crab, prawns, fish, and shellfish. Prepared in a variety of different cooking methods and served either hot or cold. Sliders It’s difficult to beat the taste of a burger. Sliders are miniature burgers that can be served in a variety of different flavours. Create boards of sliders ranging between meat, chicken, and vegetarian options. Make sure that they are bite-sized in order for guests to grab one and be able to eat it without using a knife and fork. Another great idea is to combine small sliders with hot dogs from the grill. At first thought, it may sound like a really common food choice – but in actuality, you can really pick it up a notch by adding gourmet touches to it! Hors d’oeuvres Skip the main meal and serve only hors d’oeuvres to your guests. If you’re not sure of what these are, here’s a gist: also known as a starter or appetiser, a small dish that is served before the start of a meal in European cuisine. Hot or cold – it’s completely up to you! Have ample amounts of small bite-sized dishes available to your guests and have the crew walk around with platters of it. This can range from small prawn cocktails, to spring rolls, meat and veggie sticks. Always keep your surroundings in mind when planning your menu for the yacht. It should be easy to plate up as well as reflect the ocean around you.

6 Excellent Catering Ideas For Special Events On A Yacht

6 excellent catering ideas for special events on a yacht

Eating on a yacht can be quite different from eating on land. Mostly, meals involve not staying still the majority of the time with the yacht in constant movement. Plus, there are many different safety regulations that have to be considered. Meanwhile, though space is slightly limited compared to your own home kitchen or usual dine-in restaurant – it’s still completely possible to make your boat charter experience interesting with food! Pasta Pasta is a dish that is easy to prepare and can feed a whole army. Whether you choose spaghetti, penne, or macaroni, it’s an easy boil in a pot and viola. Add ready-made pasta sauce to the mix, some fresh herbs, and you’ve got yourself a delicious meal! Fruit Fruit serves as a great healthy snack throughout the day. Furthermore, they can be kept cool in the refrigerator without and are excellent grab-and-go alternatives. Some great picks include bananas, apples, and peaches which work perfectly as daily snacks. If you want to put more effort into it, you can cut watermelon, papaya, and pineapple into small cubes. Afterwards, just put the cubes in sealable airtight containers and take out from the fridge for enjoyment when you’re ready to dig in! Burgers and fries When you want to make a quick warm meal, you can use the cruise grill for cooking hot dogs or burger patties. It’s important to consider safety when you take on this task, but most yacht rentals do have installed grills that work with gas and use a series of safety precautions. Pop frozen fries into the oven or boil in hot oil as a great accompaniment. Don’t forget tomato sauce and mustard as a relish or maybe even salsa. Tacos Tacos are easy to make and can be eaten by hand, avoiding dishes getting piled up, making it especially ideal for an event such as a yacht birthday party! Cook some minced meat in a pan with onions, and put it on a taco with lots of cheese, jalapenos, and tomato salsa. Put some sour cream in a glass bowl and let your guests dip into the bowl if they want to. If you want to go all Mexican – you can grab some nachos and smother them in cheese sauce, guacamole, tomato salsa, and finely chopped chilli. Sandwiches Prepare ready-made sandwiches at home and take them along for the trip! You can make a variety of sandwiches and keep them in the refrigerator until the next day or even the day after. Topping choices can include Peanut butter and jelly, ham and cheese, and scrambled egg and mayonnaise. Snacks Apart from fruity snacks, you can prepare other easy-to-grab snacks like homemade muffins, nut mix, gummy bears, dried fruits, cookies, and granola bars. Having different kinds of sugary snacks will give guests a boost of energy whenever they need it. Bonus: Beverages Remember that no yacht charter is complete with a series of drinks. It’s important that you take along more than enough fresh water and juice. If you are going for a romantic steak dinner at night, then don’t forget the champagne and wine. Meanwhile, if it’s a family trip and there’s going to be kids around, or you’ll be inviting your Muslim friends aboard – then, it’s best to keep your choice of drinks non-alcoholic! As for your private yacht rental – no matter what kind of event you have in mind, these different yummy goodies will be sure to fit in perfectly! Meanwhile, if it’s a corporate event or one involving your clients – you may have to consider bringing in … Read More
