Benefits of a Corporate Boat Cruise
A Fun Team Building Experience
Our corporate cruises are great if you’re looking for a unique Nashville team-building activity. We offer you the opportunity to step away from the office and connect with those coworkers you’ve been wanting to get to know outside of the workday. Our pontoon is perfect for any company, allowing internal teams to mix and mingle freely across our large vessel. We’ve created a prime casual, social setting through the layout of our pontoon for you to network and chat comfortably. Whether it be new additions to the team or building a deeper connection with longtime coworkers, this allocated time for team building could be all the difference in productivity to reach those goals!
Pontoon Saloon has hosted many local and national companies who have enjoyed our corporate cruises, including Aramark, ADP, Service Source, Black & Decker, PayScale, and Frazier & Deeter. We’ve received feedback all mentioning the great benefits of a team outing on our cruise. Some have enjoyed it so much that they have returned for another cruise! Many stated it was refreshing to enjoy a team outing outdoors and see Nashville from the water. It was the refresh and recharge they needed personally and as a team.
Here is a review from a local company in September 2021:
Great team-building experience!
“We had a great time on the Pontoon Saloon cruise. The lights of the city are lovely and provided a great opportunity for group photos. This was a team building / corporate event and everyone really enjoyed it.Our crew – Andrew (captain) and Chris were lots of fun and great to work with. I would recommend this activity as a team bonding experience and a client event. Great fun, great music, and lovely sights to see.”
Get to Know/Impress Your Clients
In need of an outing to connect and impress clients? A corporate riverboat cruise is a perfect fit! By booking your cruise, you’re demonstrating your commitment and value directly to your clients in a fun, easygoing setting that allows you to connect on a personal level. It’s the best of both worlds! Building an initial authentic connection is the basis of a trusting, respectful, and long-standing business relationship. We know from experience that these corporate cruises offer a perfect combination of fun, relationship-building, and relaxation that will be sure to impress any client you bring aboard.
Increase Team Morale
Sometimes that work-life balance falls out of line and morale starts to dip. This can often result in low performance and low job satisfaction for many employees. Through various team-building events, you can boost that morale and take a much-needed break. It has been proven that these experiences are refreshing and bring a positive outlook back to the workplace, as they restore that sense of value and appreciation for individuals as employees. In turn, they are inclined to be more productive and increasingly enjoy their work. Not only will it increase your own productivity but that of the entire team. Everyone will leave the outing feeling more connected, supported, and valued.
So what are you waiting for? Book your corporate cruise today so you can unwind, relax, recharge, and enjoy those Nashville views from the water!
