We can custom-tailor the perfect corporate event for your business, too.  Sailing lends itself brilliantly to everything from a simple outdoor trip to a serious day or half-day of team building activities.  It's always fun, and no one in your group has to know anything about sailing to benefit and enjoy!

"...You provided clear and patient instruction, and gave everyone a sense of security... The trip was a positive, enjoyable experience for everyone, and I would not hesitate to do it again, or recommend you to others.  Thanks once again."

-Lynne Buchala, representing Pfizer.
 

There are many possibilities for corporate events of all sizes and budgets.  You can reward a group or team for a job well done by giving them a relaxing trip aboard a cruising sailboat for a half-day or evening.  Entertain a special client in a novel and relaxing way, and even mix in some business if you feel the need.  Instead of an average "field day," take a group out for a day sail on our fleet and teach them some new skills.

For both fun AND productivity, opt for a team-building event.  We can accommodate up to 24 participants on our fleet of evenly matched Beneteau First 21.0 sloops.  We start out with brief orientation on basic sailing theory, and emphasize the team dynamic involved in operating a sailing vessel safely and efficiently.  Then, some basic training on the water before lunch.  The afternoon is spent doing any of several activities - racing, flotilla sails, extended sail training, etc.  We provide instructors for each boat as part of these events.  For half day events, we simply skip the lunch break and shorten the basic training and activity times proportionally.

In our team building events, your team/s will work on skills and issues such as communication, trust, team ethics, and leadership.  Operating a sailboat safely and efficiently requires much of what is required in the the workplace, whether it's a typical corporate office environment, an institutional setting, or field work, travel and telecommuting.  Our extensive experience in handling large numbers of people on tight schedules, coupled with an ideal sailing environment, ensure your team will have the best possible event.  If weather gets in the way, we reschedule.

"They did mention that this was the best team building event EVER (even with the boat breakdown) and their best day at work EVER. So the operation was a success and I thank you for all your hard work to make it so."

-Mary Pilossoph, from Amgen.
