A Corporate Experience That Feels Genuinely Different

Meeting rooms. Restaurants. Fixed venues.

Time on the water introduces something far more dynamic. A constantly changing environment, relaxed atmosphere, and experience that naturally encourages conversation, connection, and memorable shared moments.

Because corporate events are rarely remembered for their agenda.

They are remembered for how they felt.

Effortlessly Scaled for Larger Groups

For larger teams, client events, or company celebrations, our multi-boat charters provide a seamless way to host groups beyond the capacity of a single vessel. Professionally coordinated fleets allow your event to remain cohesive, polished, and entirely flexible.

Designed Around Your Event

Corporate events require clarity, flexibility, and seamless coordination.

We work closely with organisers to ensure every phase of your charter – from initial planning to the day itself the day flows effortlessly.

Transparent pricing, flexible scheduling, professional skippers, and practical guidance on routes, timings, and logistics allow your event to come together smoothly while delivering a relaxed, memorable experience on the water.

Charters can be shaped around your objectives:

Relaxed Solent cruising
Client hospitality & networking
Team building experiences
Waterfront dining stops
Paddleboarding & water activities
Flexible pickup locations

Planning Your Corporate Charter

What types of corporate events work well on the water?

Private boat charters are ideal for client hospitality, team building, company celebrations, networking events, and strategy days. Each experience is shaped around your objectives and group dynamic.

How far in advance should we book?

We recommend booking early, particularly for peak season dates. However, we can often accommodate short-notice enquiries depending on fleet availability.

Can you accommodate large groups?

Yes. Our multi-boat corporate packages allow us to host larger groups while maintaining a premium, well-coordinated experience across the fleet.

Can we customise the itinerary?

Absolutely. Every corporate charter is fully bespoke, with timings, routes, stops, and onboard arrangements tailored to your event goals.

Onboard Experience & Logistics

Do guests need boating experience?

No. All corporate charters are operated by professional skippers, allowing your guests to relax and enjoy the experience.

What is included in the charter price?

Inclusions vary by vessel and package but typically include your skipper, fuel allowance, onboard amenities, and selected hospitality touches. Full details are clearly outlined prior to confirmation.

Can we bring catering or arrange food & drinks?

Yes. Guests are welcome to bring refreshments, and we can also assist with catering arrangements or waterfront dining reservations through our partner network.

Where do charters start and finish?

We offer flexible pickup locations across the Solent, including Hamble, Southampton, Lymington, Portsmouth, Cowes, and Yarmouth.

Comfort Conditions & Confidence

What happens if the weather isn’t suitable?

Your safety and comfort are always prioritised. Should conditions be unsuitable, we will discuss rescheduling options or alternative arrangements prior to your charter date.

Are the boats suitable for year-round events?

Yes. Most of our vessels offer covered seating, enclosed cabins, and heating, making corporate charters enjoyable across multiple seasons.

Are lifejackets provided?

Yes. Appropriate safety equipment is always provided for all guests onboard.

Yes. Our team regularly works with corporate organisers to coordinate timings, logistics, routes, and guest experience considerations.

Why choose a corporate boat charter?

Quite simply, the setting. Time on the water naturally encourages conversation, strengthens relationships, and delivers a genuinely memorable experience away from traditional venues.

Corporate Testimonials

“We would highly recommend EML Charters! I had booked a corporate day out on behalf of the company.

The whole experience was excellent from start to finish. Booking was very easy and the package offered great value for money. We requested a few changes and amendments to their standard package – nothing was too much trouble.

The service on the day was fantastic, and both the captain and stewardess were friendly, professional, and attentive. No complaints at all — we’d definitely book with EML Charters again and highly recommend them to others.”

“Last month we organised a corporate incentives trip to the Hut and after much research, we booked with EML Charters to make the trip extra special.

EML was extremely helpful and communicative throughout the whole process and helped me organise the trip for 37 people! The boats were absolutely fantastic, the service and the team was exceptional and we all had a truly fantastic time!

Would definitely recommend EML Charters and will be using their service in the future!”

“CBRE chartered EML’s brand new Cobra rib and Axopar for a corporate trip to The Hut from Southampton. Both weather safe and capable boats, despite rough seas on our outbound trip, we stayed dry and felt safe at all times.

Our return trip was much smoother and was great to see these boats unleashed. We were excellently looked after by EML during the booking process and skippers on the day.

If you’re looking to charter a boat along the South Coast and need a trusted pair of hands, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend EML Charters.”
