Sailing Team Building Activity FAQs

 

What is a sailing team building activity?

Our sailing experience is an exciting water-based team building activity that gives colleagues the chance to work together aboard high-specification matched yachts. Harnessing the power of the wind, your team can get involved with sailing, learn new skills, and enjoy some friendly competition out on the water.

If you’re searching for memorable team building days out, the experience combines teamwork and camaraderie with plenty of fresh air and quality face-to-face time. No previous sailing experience is necessary, making it a fantastic choice for groups with mixed abilities.

How does the sailing team building day work?

Your group will be welcomed by our professional skippers and crew before receiving the necessary safety information and sailing tuition. Once everyone is comfortable, it is time to get out on the water.

Your team can participate in sailing the yacht and, depending on your chosen itinerary, experience the excitement of matched yacht racing. We tailor our team building days out around your requirements, so your event can be highly competitive, relaxed, and luxurious, or somewhere in between.

Do you need sailing experience to take part?

We estimate that around 95% of our guests have never sailed before joining us. Our experienced skippers and crew provide clear, informative tuition to help everyone feel comfortable and involved. Complete beginners can discover the fundamentals of sailing, while more experienced sailors can put their existing knowledge into practice.

Why is sailing good for team building?

Sailing naturally encourages communication, cooperation, and teamwork. Everyone aboard has the opportunity to contribute towards a shared goal, making it an engaging alternative to more conventional corporate activities.

This water-based team building activity also gets your colleagues away from their everyday working environment. With fewer distractions and plenty of shared experiences, sailing provides valuable opportunities to strengthen working relationships while having great fun.

How many people can take part?

Our sailing events are suitable for groups from 5 to 200 guests, with bespoke packages also available for larger groups. Each boat can accommodate up to 10 people.

How long does the sailing experience last?

The activity can last between four and eight hours, depending on the package and itinerary you choose.

This flexibility means sailing can become the centrepiece of a full corporate day out or form part of a wider programme of activities and hospitality.

Where does the sailing take place?

Our preferred marina is Southampton, providing an excellent setting for corporate sailing experiences. Other marinas are also available upon request, allowing us to discuss the location that best suits your group and event plans.

For organisations searching for memorable team building days out in the UK, spending a day sailing offers a refreshing change of scenery.

What is included in the sailing package?

Your package includes access to our exclusive fleet of matched, MCA-licensed sailing yachts, alongside professional race skippers and crew. Comprehensive sailing tuition and opportunities for participation are also included.

We provide auto-inflate lifejackets and high-quality wet weather gear, as well as unlimited bottled water, soft drinks, and hot drinks. Lunch on board and our particularly moreish chocolate brownies are included too. Fuel, mooring fees, crew subsistence, insurance, and an event itinerary are all covered.

What are the yachts like?

Our identical, highly specified yachts have been selected to deliver a premium sailing experience. They are not part of a heavily used charter fleet and are maintained in immaculate condition, with high-standard safety equipment aboard.

This helps make your water-based team building activity feel like a special corporate occasion rather than an everyday sailing trip.

Who will be looking after your team?

We only work with carefully selected professional skippers and crew. Alongside their sailing knowledge and experience, they are chosen for their friendly personalities, professionalism, and ability to work well with corporate groups.

They understand that successful team building days should be enjoyable as well as well organised, and help create an atmosphere where your guests can participate, learn, and have fun.

Is sailing an eco-friendly team building option?

Sailing offers an appealing way to enjoy an outdoor corporate experience while harnessing the natural power of the wind. For businesses seeking exciting team building days out with an environmentally conscious angle, it can be a particularly attractive choice.

The combination of open water, fresh air, and wind-powered sailing also creates an experience that feels worlds away from a conventional day at the office.

What happens if the weather changes?

Sailing is an outdoor activity, so weather conditions naturally form part of the experience. High-quality wet weather gear is provided to help keep your team comfortable, while our professional crew will manage the sailing experience with safety at the forefront.

Your event itinerary will provide the relevant information for your day.

Can the sailing day be customised?

Tailoring the experience is one of the biggest advantages of choosing our sailing events. We can create a day with a strong focus on teamwork and racing or provide a more relaxed, high-end sailing experience.

This flexibility makes sailing suitable for everything from staff rewards and corporate away days, to client entertainment and relationship-building events.

Are food and drinks provided?

Lunch is provided on board, together with unlimited bottled water, soft drinks, and hot drinks. Guests can also look forward to delicious chocolate brownies during the experience.

For an additional touch of luxury, you can enquire about the optional extra of lunch at the famous George Hotel & Beach Club in Yarmouth on the Isle of Wight.

Why choose sailing for your next corporate day out?

Few team building days out combine teamwork, friendly competition, learning, and memorable surroundings quite like sailing. Your team can swap desks and meeting rooms for immaculate yachts, professional sailing tuition, and an unforgettable day out on the water.
