When it comes to Corporate Events, monotonous meeting rooms and convention spaces simply don’t hit the mark anymore.
More and more businesses are after experiences that will help teams connect, create shared memories and effectively reward individuals for their contributions. Corporate sailing events, consequently, have gained considerable popularity.
An experience day on the water offers a complete departure from the norm of office life. The tempo is shifted, people relax and conversations become far more relaxed as team dynamics emerge. Whether your focus is on entertaining clients, rewarding staff or improving team cohesion, sailing provides an activity that is remembered far after departure.
Fairview Sailing create corporate events that are versatile, enjoyable and tailored precisely to the objectives of your company. We have been hosting events on the Solent for over 35 years, offering everything from laid-back days with an emphasis on corporate hospitality, to full in-house regattas and exhilarating competitive events that will really test your team.
Why Sailing is so Effective for Corporate Events
There is something inherent in sailing which, naturally, leads itself to developing team working skills. Sailing incorporates communications, cooperation and problem-solving within one exciting group activity.
The benefit of a corporate sailing day is that individuals are free to contribute to the event to whatever degree they desire. Some guests will love taking the helm and learning the ropes, others will prefer to sit back and absorb the environment, watching the dramatic views that the Solent coast has to offer.
No prior sailing experience is required at all as every corporate event is supervised and led by our very own highly professional skippers.
In contrast to standard corporate entertainment, a sailing day allows everyone to get away from the office – escaping their inbox and constant demands of day-to-day tasks. Your teams will arrive at the event feeling rested, refreshed and having reconnected as individuals.
Bespoke Corporate Sailing Events
Every business is unique and a custom built event is therefore often the most successful. Your corporate sailing day can be planned around specific business goals, whether this be impressing important clients, rewarding loyal staff, networking within your industry or team building within the group.
Some popular activities include:
- Relaxed hospitality sailing days
- Team building sailing adventures
- Matched fleet racing events
- In-house company regattas
- VIP event days during Cowes Week
- Skippered yacht charters.
From small leadership teams to larger corporate events of up to 300 guests, Fairview Sailing can cater for any requirement.
The Solent itself creates the ideal corporate sailing environment, its sheltered waters, quaint harbours and breath-taking views over the Isle of Wight have led it to be heralded as one of the UK’s top sailing locations.
Incentive & Reward
It’s hard to think of a greater reward than to spend the day sailing the Solent with colleagues or valued clients. A corporate sailing day provides the ideal blend of relaxation, excitement and quality time, outside the demands of an office environment.
A day that seems more like a short holiday rather than a corporate event is often the most effective incentive and reward. It’s therefore easy to see why the event days we offer are so popular.
Enjoy a leisurely sail across the Solent to the Isle of Wight, with a lunch stop at The Hut at Colwell Bay. With panoramic views of the coast, you can really get away from it all.
Upon arrival, enjoy a drink on deck whilst you admire the views, before sitting down for a fantastic, laid-back lunch of exquisite fresh sea food.
An afternoon sail back across the Solent will make the experience feel truly special.
More Than Just A Day Out
Your corporate sailing day is about so much more than simply getting out on the water in a yacht. It’s about designing and delivering a memorable experience for the people attending.
The thing that is so unique about these events is that all formal aspects of work disappear and the conversation flows more freely. As people start to enjoy each other’s company, team dynamics are naturally developed and what follows is an incredibly memorable experience for all involved.
Corporate sailing provides a refreshingly unique departure from the norm and an excellent opportunity for teams and clients to bond over a truly special experience.
