Experience the ultimate team building adventure!
Sailing is the perfect way to bring your team together, whether it’s for
- a team day out,
- a company event, or
- an employee reward day
Set in the beautiful and healthy outdoor environment of the Solent, our sailing events are designed to foster teamwork, communication, and building real skills.
Sailing is recognised as a great team building event. Companies have used and continue to use sailing to help foster this aspect of their business.

Teamwork: Test your team’s ability to work together and sail our race yacht.
Leadership development: Clear communication, respect and authority are essential for successfully handling a race yacht.
