Odoo develops business management software covering areas such as customer relationship management, accounting, inventory and project management. For this 200-person yacht team day, colleagues stepped away from their everyday roles to share a meal, enjoy the water and take photos together. The occasion offers a useful look at how a large company outing can feel lively while giving people room to enjoy themselves in different ways.
Quick Answer
Odoo’s outing brought together an onboard buffet, water activities and small-group photos on deck. The planning lesson is to offer several ways to take part, with shared moments that bring colleagues together. Some people want to be on the water; others prefer a conversation and a sea view. A thoughtful team day makes room for both.
A meal, time on the water and a shared memory
The event photographs show colleagues choosing pasta, rice dishes, sandwiches and snacks from the buffet. Elsewhere, people enjoy floating mats, inflatable water toys and a paddleboard, with banana-boat activity also pictured. Small groups come together for photos on deck, framed by the bay and the boat. These moments give the outing both a shared focus and space for individual preferences.
| Moment from the case | Design consideration | The experience to aim for |
|---|---|---|
| Onboard buffet | Make a shared meal part of the outing | Easy conversations over food |
| A choice of water activities | Allow different levels of participation | Freedom to get involved or take a break |
| Small-group deck photos | Use the sea view and onboard setting | A memory colleagues can take home |
Giving a large yacht team day a comfortable rhythm
For a large group, care often shows in the transitions. People relax more easily when they know where to meet, how boarding works and what they can do next. For a similar outing, we recommend the following planning sequence. The final order should reflect the selected boats, meal arrangements and conditions on the day.
- Allow time to settle in. Explain boat assignments, activity areas and crew guidance, with time to put belongings away.
- Give the meal room to breathe. Plan serving times and access to the buffet so colleagues can enjoy eating and talking.
- Offer activities by preference. Leave space for water activities, rest and photos, rather than sending everyone to the same facility at once.
- Build in a relaxed finish. Make time for photos and getting ready for the return journey.
The 200-person figure describes the overall event. Boat capacity and usable activity space must be checked for each vessel, with group assignments and meeting information confirmed before departure.
An onboard buffet that makes conversation easy
A shared meal is an easy way to spend time together. Here, a selection of main dishes sits alongside sandwiches and snacks, giving colleagues a choice of what to eat. Familiar food, familiar faces and an open sea view create a welcoming setting for a company boat party in Hong Kong.
The details around the food matter too
When recommending a buffet, we also consider where the table will sit, how people will reach the serving utensils and how much space is left to move around. Food layout, serving time and the transition to the next activity all shape the experience. Agreeing these details with the boat and catering teams beforehand helps organisers spend more of the day with their colleagues.
Space for an energetic afternoon or a slower pace
The case includes energetic banana-boat scenes alongside colleagues relaxing on floating mats and sitting on a paddleboard. Bringing different activities into one outing gives the team a shared setting without expecting everyone to enjoy it in exactly the same way.
For a company team day, we start by understanding whether the group prefers relaxed social time, water activities or a mixture. We then confirm suitable boats and available options. People who enjoy the water can take part together, while others can stay aboard to chat, take photos or rest. That choice helps the gathering feel welcoming across the team.
The boat operator must confirm how each water activity will run and its safety arrangements. Participants should wear suitable lifejackets as required. Sea conditions, equipment and available time also affect the final plan. For broader ideas, see our Hong Kong yacht routes and water activities guide, then discuss the options that suit your group.
Team photos that feel part of the day
In the small-group photos, colleagues gather at the bow, exchange playful gestures and look towards the camera from the rail. The water, hills and yacht become part of the memory. A good photo moment can be simple: a suitable spot and enough time for colleagues to gather between activities.
For a larger outing, we suggest photographing smaller groups, with the crew confirming safe positions and clear walkways. It is easier to include everyone, and the photos can fit naturally into the gathering.
Helping the people organising the outing enjoy it too
A well-run company outing depends on the different parts fitting together. Boats, food and activities need to work in step so the organiser can welcome colleagues with confidence. Yacht Holimood can help coordinate relevant services around the event’s needs, bringing the arrangements, timings and points of contact together in advance.
We begin with the group size, date, meeting requirements and preferred activities, then confirm a workable plan with the relevant providers. Available services vary by boat, date and supplier, so the agreed plan is the reference for what is included. Our corporate yacht team-building guide explains the broader choices; this Odoo case gives those ideas a real event setting.
