Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and it’s the perfect time to plan something romantic for your special someone. A surprise cruise aboard a spectacular luxury charter yacht is just one way of ensuring that this Valentine Day remains memorable forever. There are a host of options to choose from, regardless of which part of the United States you reside in. But there is an added element of favorable weather if you are looking at a cruise off the coast of sunny Florida. You can choose from charming candlelight dinner, dessert, lunch, to full blown vacation cruises to the Caribbean or other couple-friendly locations. There’s no better way to escape the monotony of daily life than with great food, drink, and the soothing sound of the water running alongside a fabulous charter vessel. Dining on a moonlit deck under the starry sky, with the water shimmering like silver can be wonderfully relaxing, and sharing this experience with someone you love is bound to be an experience to be cherished.

 The Choices Abound

To ensure that the occasion turns out as perfect as you want it to be, you’ll likely need to do a bit of research beforehand. First, decide whether you want to embark on a cruise for a few hours or a couple of days. Next, get in touch with your travel agent, talk to friends or search online for ideas and to find out what’s available. See the sail dates and available itineraries for the charter yacht that best suits your interests. Once you know which cruise you want, go ahead and book reservations as early as possible. Holidays and other special days are very popular and you may find that the deal is sold out within a matter of hours. When booking, be sure to find out what is included and what isn’t, as to avoid any surprise costs. Specialty cruises like dessert cruises will usually consist of a couple of hours of sailing along the water while sampling a whole range of exotic desserts accompanied with wine and soft music. Dinner cruises may also have live entertainment included in the price of the tickets, which often may be in the form of a show or a live band with dancing after dinner.

 This Valentine’s Day will have Lifelong Repercussions

The price of the tickets and the inclusions will give you a fair idea of what segment that particular cruise falls into—budget, deluxe, or luxury. A luxury destination cruise would make for a great surprise gift, but if your budget doesn’t permit, the next best choice would be a luxury yacht charter which lasts for at least three hours. Anything of a lesser duration would tend to make for a rushed evening and less of an ability to enjoy the experience. Also, be sure to research what the people who have experienced the cruise have to say about it. By keeping all of these options in mind before making your decision, you’ll ensure that you have a Valentine’s Day cruise to remember.

Employees are an organization’s best assets. Any highly experienced business owner will tell you that it’s crucial to maintain not only a good working relationship with your employees, but to keep them happy and relaxed. These simple yet effective ideas do a great amount of help to maximize morale while keeping productivity at its peak. Hence, many corporations have incentive programs in place to reward their staff from time to time. Incentives can come in many forms such as gift hampers, tickets to sporting events or other shows, yacht cruises, travel programs, and more. Usually rewards are for duration of service, quality of performance, and for concocting initiatives or ideals which are innovative or beneficial to the company.

Rewarding a Department or Top Performers

One of the popular incentives is a luxury yacht charter with all the extras. It’s typically a day or evening outing but sometimes a trip lasting for a week. Yacht charter companies have various programs on offer and can also customize them as per your firm’s special requirements. Group sizes can range from 10 to 100 or even more, and the tour may be aboard more than one yacht depending upon the options available. You do not have to worry about the planning since genuine yacht charter companies have their own staff who specialize in organizing such events. The only thing you’ll only need to clarify is a specific budget while giving a rough outline of what activities or add-ons should be included in the yacht charter.

An All-Inclusive Spectacular Treat

There are some great benefits of holding corporate incentive programs onboard yachts as compared to cruise ships. For one, it promises more personalized attention since there will be a ratio of one crew member for every 5-15 passengers. You can choose what activities or ports of call you want included in the trip. All the meals during your trip can have gourmet dishes of your choice from pre-designed specialty menus, including everything from a range of hors d’ouevres to cool and colorful cocktails. And since most luxury yacht charters are all-inclusive, you don’t have to worry about paying extra to truly indulge.

Cost-Effective with Good Taste

Additional attractions aboard the yacht may include live entertainment such as live bands with dancing, casino games, comedy, DJ’s and more. Another excellent and popular idea is to have theme parties at your incentive trips.

In general, employees will welcome a chance to kick back and have some fun while employers will find it more cost-effective than providing individual rewards. Figures also indicate that the savings can be a whopping 30 percent when compared to events held at a resort or other such venue. Along with luxury, the yachts afford full privacy and add charm to the event. Just be sure to research and compare quotes well ahead of the event’s scheduled date so you can assure availability and value. Many companies offer complete tours of their luxury charter yachts prior to booking, allowing the clients to experience the vessel  and it’s amenities.

Fort Lauderdale, FL. - With just days left before the kickoff of the most celebrated sporting event of the year, Reebok is rushing to take advantage of South Florida's immense media exposure in lieu of Super Bowl Sunday. The company has a history of capitalizing on the Super Bowl audience by introducing new product launches, and this year is no different than the rest. No, Reebok is not running a Super Bowl ad this year - well at least not on the air. Instead, they've decided to take it straight to the water.

In an effort to stand out amongst the huge crowd of companies who are employing over-the-top Super Bowl promotions, Reebok is getting their hands wet in the intracoastal waterways of sunny South Florida. They have cleverly rented, wrapped, and renamed South Florida's famous Grand Floridian Yacht (owned by Charter One Yachts) for an all out advertisement and exclusive advance media launch of Reebok's most exciting new shoe - Zig-Tech.

Located in downtown Fort Lauderdale, the 125 foot Grand Floridian Yacht has been temporarily taken over by Reebok as "The Zig-Tech Yacht", covered with an advertisement of enormous proportions and scheduled to host the debut of their new product release. The yacht will be seen cruising the waterways of South Florida throughout the Super Bowl weekend, attended by a handful of Reebok-sponsored athletes including Eli Manning, Archie Manning, Chuck "The Iceman" Liddell, "Sugar" Shane Mosley, Chad Ocho Cinco, Santonio Holmes and more.

The new Zig-Tech line of footwear is said to be "like an energy drink for your feet, using new technology along with a never before seen zig-zag shaped sole to conserve and return energy to the athlete for a soft and springy step." The shoes are set to hit retail stores nationwide on March 11th for around $100 a pair. Reebok has warned us that "despite the gigantic floating advertisement, we would like consumers to be aware that the Zig-Tech does NOT allow you to walk on water."

The unique marketing approach taken by Reebok is sure to gain attention on both local and national levels, especially with the extra influx of non-locals who have blitzed South Florida for the Super Bowl. Charter One Yachts, the official owners of The Grand Floridian Yacht, is no stranger to hosting upscale corporate events aboard their fleet of luxury charter yachts.

With five decks, full media capabilities, gourmet dining, meeting rooms, a custom sound system and a full bar, there's no question why the Grand Floridian Yacht is a premier event venue in Fort Lauderdale and Miami.
