Sea adventures for business goals

Corporate sailing events: uniting teams through business and educational programs

Yachting as an effective business tool

Business events under the sails are prestigious and already proven tools to forge corporate spirit, boost personal growth, increase employee motivation, and improve client loyalty and partnerships.

Yachting events may be different. What they have in common, though, is an opportunity to take the usual business goals out of the office or conference hall and into the fresh air, thus combining leisure and working sessions in an exciting format.

Yachting events for specific business needs

The most popular yachting event formats.

Corporate regattas

These are competitions on one-design yachts that consist of long and short races. The goal of every crew is to cover the distance fastest in compliance with the racing rules.

Yachting regattas are ideal for holding a corporate or client event in the fresh air. Every participant gets something of personal value – teamwork experience, the thrill of competition, new friends or business contacts, photos with views of picturesque Adriatic islands, and lasting memories.

Every crew has a captain-cum-instructor who assigns roles to the crew, provides safety on board, and leads the team to victory in a fair and gripping competition.

Client events

It's an essential component of business communications and an excellent opportunity to attract publicity to the company, pitch or present a new product or service, interact in an informal setting, and maintain cooperation with customers and partners. Such an event will bring lasting memories and indisputably positive results to your business.

The program may involve yachting and business. A leisurely sailing flotilla or short races in the first part of the day smoothly transitions into business sessions featuring company experts, business coaches, and partner representatives. The end of the day is perfect for a collective dinner and informal exchanges.

We recommend this format to hold:
— dealer presentations
— events for partners and clients
— events for industry media
— loyalty programs for VIP clients

Teambuilding

Sailing sport is perfect for achieving teambuilding goals and boosting staff efficiency. Getting the employees together on board improves personnel relationships and the company's moral climate.

The trainings are conducive for the following business goals:
— establish rapport among personnel
— unify the team toward achieving a shared goal
— discover new leaders
— give personal growth opportunities to each team member

Teambuilding events have different formats, for example:
— one-day training on comfortable yachts
— participating as a crew member representing the company in one of Croatia's most prestigious regattas

Accommodation is possible both on board a yacht and at a hotel.
