5 Ways to Celebrate EOFY as a Team

The end of the financial year is just around the corner. If your department or team hasn't used up all of the budget, why not spend it in the best way possible to avoid losing it? Treat your team to an experience they’ll be talking about for months with Any Boat. We have plenty of boat hire and luxury boat options to suit all budgets, party sizes and the experience you have in mind. We can also tailor packages to suit you, ensuring a seamless event you and your guests will love.

Here are some exciting ideas for celebrating EOFY with Any Boat:

1. A Luxury Cruise on Sydney Harbour

At the end of a long year, thank your staff for all their hard work by treating them to a relaxing sail onboard a luxury yacht. Sail through the harbour past iconic Sydney landmarks including the Opera House, Sydney Harbour Bridge and Luna Park. Sit on the deck and soak up the views and the sunshine with good company and a drink in hand. Choose from one of our great options, like Seaduced, a 55-foot luxury Riviera yacht offering an alfresco style set up on the aft deck or Enigma, a 65-foot Pama Pilothouse possessing a free-flowing design throughout the vessel, perfect for entertaining up to 41 guests during the day and for evening cruises.

 

 

2. A Memorable Party

 

If getting everyone to let their hair down after a stressful year is more what you’ve got in mind, let us deliver a unique venue for a party that will be the talk of the town. Treat your staff to a party on the water with flowing drinks, delicious food and a dance floor like no other. Our party cruises also offer the perfect way to thank clients for their support or for hosting an unmissable networking event. With plenty of different vessels to choose from, we’ll have something that will suit your budget and the number of guests. We can arrange catering packages including canapes for stand-up cocktail events as well as chef-prepared sit-down meals. Kondor, for example, is a spacious vessel with several catering packages to choose from and a five-star chef available to treat you and your guests. Morpheus is a sleek and smooth-sailing Catamaran with two levels and large entertaining areas, perfect for formal, sit-down or buffet-style dining with the best views in Sydney.

 

3. Fun and Games

Nothing builds team morale like a little bit of friendly competition. Set sail on one of our luxury yachts and treat your team to non-stop fun and plenty of laughs.

Some of our favourite onboard activities include:

• Aqua Golf. Test your swing over the water on a luxury superyacht like Oneworld.
• Karaoke. Sing your lungs out at sea with a karaoke party package onboard one of our luxury boats.
• Laser clay shooting. Test your skills with laser clay shooting on one of Any Boat’s luxury vessels. Our 80-foot superyacht John Oxley not only offers classic style, plenty of space for entertaining and all the bells and whistles your party could need but is the perfect floating laser clay shooting venue.

 

4. Corporate Regattas

For something completely different, why not host a team or corporate regatta onboard Lorelei. We can help you book, organise and host a regatta; some options include hands-on sailing, straight races and treasure hunts. There is no need to worry about organising food and beverages for everyone as we offer a range of catering and beverage packages to ensure your experience is smooth sailing. A Sydney Harbour sailing experience is a fun, interactive way to build team morale by working together to sail the yacht. It can also make a fun way to test your staff on product knowledge.
