Corporate Yacht Charters in Fort Lauderdale
Impress Clients. Reward Your Team. Host Something They’ll Actually Remember.
If you are planning a corporate event in South Florida, you already know the challenge. Most venues feel the same. Hotel ballrooms, restaurant buyouts, and conference spaces rarely create a memorable experience.
A private yacht charter offers something entirely different.
At Sun Dream Yacht Charters, we help companies host elevated corporate events on the water in Fort Lauderdale. Whether you are entertaining clients, celebrating your team, or hosting a company milestone, our yachts provide a private, exclusive setting along the Intracoastal Waterway with views of the Fort Lauderdale skyline.
Why Companies Choose A Yacht for Corporate Events
Corporate events should feel intentional, not routine. A private yacht charter delivers an environment that is exclusive and relaxed, visually impressive without requiring over-the-top décor, and naturally conducive to the conversations and connections that matter most.
As your guests step aboard, the setting does the work. The movement of the water, open-air observation decks, panoramic views of the Fort Lauderdale skyline, and the elegance of our custom-designed interiors create an atmosphere no hotel ballroom can replicate.
Sun Dream Yacht Charters has been hosting corporate events on South Florida's Intracoastal Waterway since 1979. Our family-owned operation means every client works directly with experienced people who know these vessels and these waters — and who are personally invested in making your event exceptional.

Corporate Events We Host
Holiday Parties
Fort Lauderdale’s weather makes a waterfront holiday party unlike anything possible in most cities. Whether you prefer a formal seated dinner aboard m/y Sun Dream or a large-scale celebration for hundreds of guests aboard m/y Catalina, we handle all the details — from gourmet catering and open bar to custom décor and entertainment. Your team deserves a holiday party they’ll be talking about in January.
Client Entertainment & Appreciation
There is no more effective way to impress a client than a private cruise along the Intracoastal Waterway. A yacht charter removes the distractions of a restaurant or event venue and replaces them with an experience your clients will genuinely remember — and associate with your brand. We accommodate intimate groups aboard m/y Sun Dream and larger parties aboard m/y Caprice or m/y Catalina.
Team Building & Company Celebrations
Shared experiences build stronger teams. A private charter creates a relaxed, off-site environment where colleagues connect differently than they do in a conference room. Whether you’re celebrating a company milestone, closing a major deal, or simply investing in your people, a yacht outing is a reward that resonates.
Board Dinners & Executive Events
For smaller, high-stakes gatherings, m/y Sun Dream offers an intimate and sophisticated setting — a dining salon with panoramic water views, a baby grand piano, and a dedicated bridal stateroom that can serve as a private hospitality suite. Sit-down dinner service for up to 149 guests makes it ideal for executive dinners, board meetings at sea, or VIP receptions.
Company Milestones & Awards Events
Marking a significant company anniversary, a record-breaking year, or an employee recognition event deserves more than a ballroom and a plaque. Our yachts provide a backdrop that communicates the significance of the moment — and give honorees an experience they’ll remember for years.
Frequently Asked Questions
How far in advance should we book a corporate yacht charter?
Corporate events, especially holiday parties and large client events, book well in advance. We recommend reaching out at least three to six months ahead for peak season events (October through April) and for groups over 150 guests. Popular dates fill quickly, so early planning ensures you get the vessel and date that work best for your group.
What is the minimum guest count for a corporate charter?
The m/y Sun Dream accommodates groups of 16 to 149 guests, making it an excellent choice for executive dinners, board events, and mid-sized company celebrations. m/y Caprice is available for groups of 75 to 329, and m/y Catalina can host up to 516 guests for large-scale corporate events and holiday parties.
Can we customize the menu for our event?
Yes. The majority of our events feature our gourmet buffet service, prepared fresh onboard by our culinary team. For certain events, plated dinners and cocktail-style receptions with heavy hors d'oeuvres are also available. We offer a range of menu options to suit your event style, guest count, and dietary requirements, and our team works with your coordinator to select the right fit. You can view sample menus on our website.
Do you have a dedicated event coordinator?
Each yacht has a dedicated event coordinator who works with you from initial inquiry through the day of your event. They handle logistics, vendor coordination, timeline planning, and onboard execution — so you can be present with your guests rather than managing the details.
Can we bring company branded materials, signage, or decorations?
Absolutely. Many corporate clients bring custom signage, branded materials, centerpieces, and themed décor. We are happy to work with your team or your event planner to incorporate your branding seamlessly into the experience. Please discuss specifics with your coordinator during the planning process.
What is included in the charter price?
Charter pricing typically varies based on the vessel, guest count, duration, menu selection, and bar package. Your quote will detail exactly what is included. Generally, charters include the vessel, crew, your dedicated coordinator, and catering and bar service as selected. We are transparent about pricing from the first conversation — no surprises.
