Tips for organising your product launch on a boat
Hosting your event on the water requires specific preparation to ensure everything runs smoothly and that your guests enjoy an unforgettable experience.
Choose the right type of boat for your event
Yachts, catamarans, riverboats… Each type offers a different atmosphere and capacity. Select one that matches your brand image and the number of guests you plan to invite.
Plan for weather and seasonal conditions
Always have a backup plan in case of rain or strong winds, such as covered decks or an indoor lounge. Also, consider the temperature during the chosen season.
Think about boarding logistics
Make sure the boarding location is easily accessible for your guests, with clear instructions and sufficient parking or nearby transport options.
Work closely with the onboard crew
The crew plays a crucial role in the smooth running of the event. Coordinate with them to manage timing, catering, safety protocols, and any technical requirements.
Adapt your programme to the boat’s itinerary
Align speeches, presentations, and key moments with the most scenic parts of the cruise to maximise impact and create memorable visuals.
Final tips to make the most of your launch
A product launch on a boat offers a unique blend of elegance, intimacy, and stunning scenery. To make the most of it, focus on creating unforgettable moments that align with the natural beauty of your surroundings.
Plan your product reveal during a key moment of the cruise — for example, as the sun sets or when passing an iconic landmark — to give it maximum impact. Consider incorporating themed décor, live music, or a gourmet tasting to enhance the atmosphere and immerse your guests in the experience.
Capture every detail with professional photography and video to extend the life of your event beyond the day itself. With the right planning, a boat launch can combine sophistication, originality, and memorability in perfect harmony.
