| |
A yacht sailing day or mini-regatta on the South Coast is an exciting and memorable day for corporate entertainment or team-building. Hospitality - If you are weary of the usual hospitality events why not try a corporate sailing day? We can cater from 2 to 120 people on up to 15 matched yachts. We will customise the package to suit your requirements - from a single day out with catering on board to a multi-day sail with accommodation on the boats. Team Building - Where the aim is staff development, we will promote team building and encourage the crew to use their initiative and make supervised decisions in unfamiliar surroundings. Outdoor training can be a powerful means of developing self understanding, interpersonal skills and building teams. Our skippers will adopt a variety of exercises to ensure your staff and yourselves get the most out of the experience. Regattas - We offer private and corporate clients the opportunity to take part in fleet racing. We can provide a fully-organised event to include race training and ‘round the cans’ races in the Solent on a fleet of matched racing yachts. We will provide skippers and if necessary a crew in order that all ability levels can get the most out of the experience and take an active roll in full-on racing. | Please note that this event is for private charter groups only, not for individuals.
