Let’s be real—nobody remembers that trust-fall exercise from the last corporate retreat. But you know what people do remember? A BBQ party on a yacht, jet skiing in the open sea, jumping off a giant inflatable slide, and having actual fun with their colleagues instead of sitting in another conference room.
That’s what team building on a yacht is all about. It’s not just about throwing people together and hoping they bond. It’s about creating shared experiences, breaking down barriers, and making real connections—all while enjoying great food, stunning views, and thrilling water activities.
At Yacht Maison, we don’t just rent you a yacht. We plan your team-building event from start to finish, ensuring that everything from the games to the food to the entertainment fits your company’s vibe.
So, how do you plan a yacht team-building event that’s fun, interactive, and actually works? Here’s how.
1. The Right Yacht for the Right Vibe
The first step is choosing a yacht that fits your team. We get it—you want the best deal, but here’s the reality:
- Smaller yachts = More affordable, but fewer amenities (not ideal if you’re planning a big event with games and activities).
- Larger yachts = More space, more fun, more comfort (especially important if you have senior management attending).
- Catamarans = Stable and spacious (great for casual, high-energy team bonding).
- Luxury yachts = If you want to impress VIPs and C-suite execs, go big or go home.
We always recommend a yacht viewing if you’re planning something important—because pictures don’t always tell the full story.
2. Food & Drinks: The Fuel for Team Spirit
Nobody bonds over dry sandwiches and a sad fruit platter. That’s why we curate the right food experience based on your event style.
Option 1: Live Station BBQ with a Chef
The best way to keep things interactive? Let a chef handle the grill while your team enjoys the party. Expect:
🔥 Live grilling of premium meats & seafood (no frozen, pre-packed nonsense).
🍽️ Casual & social dining (everyone gathers around for freshly cooked food).
🍹 Bar & beverage packages available (because no team bonding is complete without drinks).
Option 2: DIY BBQ Box
Want to keep things simple? We provide a curated raw BBQ set that your team can grill together—perfect for some light-hearted competition on who’s the best chef onboard.
🚀 Budget-friendly but still premium quality
🍖 Easy-to-grill marinated meats & seafood
🥗 Side dishes and sauces included
If you’re unsure which option works best, we’ll recommend based on your team size and event flow.
3. Water Activities: The Real Team-Building Games
What’s the point of a yacht if you’re not jumping into the water? Here are the best activities to get everyone involved:
🏄♂️ Jet Ski Challenge
Split into teams, set up a relay race, and let’s see who can complete the fastest lap!
🌊 Giant Slide Madness
One of the most popular corporate team bonding activities—watch your bosses and colleagues scream as they go flying into the sea.
🚀 E-Foil Experience
For the daredevils on your team, try electric hydrofoiling—it’s like surfing, but on water-powered wings.
🤿 Snorkeling & Floating Lounge
If your team prefers something chill, set up a floating lounge area with snorkeling and paddleboarding.
The key is to have a mix of high-energy and low-energy activities so that everyone can participate.
4. Team Games on Board
You don’t have to jump into the sea for team bonding—there’s plenty of fun to be had onboard.
- Deck Treasure Hunt – A game of clues, problem-solving, and teamwork.
- Speed Trivia – Challenge different departments with company-related questions.
- Karaoke Battles – Because nothing builds bonds like embarrassing yourself in front of your boss.
We can customize the games to fit your company culture—whether it’s friendly competition or just casual fun.
5. Logistics & Planning: What You Need to Know
Planning a yacht team-building event isn’t as complicated as it sounds—especially when we do all the work for you.
📍 Meeting Point & Timing
- Yachts depart from Sentosa Cove or Keppel Marina.
- Best timing: Late afternoon (to catch the sunset).
- Recommended duration: 5 hours (so there’s enough time for games, food, and fun).
💰 Budget & Pricing
- Smaller team events (10–20 pax): From $150–$250/pax
- Larger team events (30+ pax): Custom pricing based on yacht size & activities
- Tip: If you bundle food & activities with your yacht booking, we’ll help you save on overall costs.
