About usCorporate yachting,
Corporate yachting,
run to tech standards.
We run corporate offsites across Europe to a clear schedule. One point of contact, one contract, one invoice — for HR, COOs, and procurement teams who value order and transparency.
Founded · 2017
Why we started
Sailing Teambuilding started in 2017 as a pan-European B2B service that puts corporate sailing offsites together with the same discipline an engineering team uses to ship software. The idea came out of thirty messy bookings: scattered brokers, forgotten transfers, hand-built spreadsheet quotes, and three different WhatsApp groups for a single offsite.
The point
What we fix
Many vendors sell a beautiful picture and forget about the outcome. We work differently: a transparent budget, a clear plan for each day, one person on call from brief to close. HR and procurement see every budget line and any itinerary change in advance — no hidden items, no surprises. We just do the work, carefully, the way we like to.
Where we are heading
Our 2028 vision
We cover 7 EU countries in 9 languages and have delivered 247 events. By 2028 the goal is more events per year and a steady fleet of 60+ partner yards from Corfu to Mallorca. In parallel we are growing our facilitator team and our ESG-reporting tools for corporate buyers.

The team
Six roles, one operation.
We deliberately keep names and photos off the page — corporate clients value discretion. CVs of key staff go to procurement once an NDA is signed.
Head of Charter
An experienced captain with an international qualification. 200+ corporate events over the career. Owns boat selection, captain vetting, and yard contracts.
Head of Logistics
Previously in B2B operations at TripAdvisor. Runs the supply chain: transfers, hotels, catering, and participant insurance.
Head of Programs
An ICF-certified facilitator. Designs leadership sessions, post-event debriefs, and strategy offsites at sea with measurable outcomes.
Head of Operations
10+ years in B2B operations. Owns coordination processes, procurement reporting, and the quality of client communication.
Brand Director
Previously at Aman Resorts in luxury-hospitality brand design. Owns the visual language, copywriting, and the quality of client materials.
Values
Four principles, not slogans.
These are not office posters — they are working rules we use to turn down clients, boats, and partners that do not fit.
Transparency
Open pricing, no hidden fees. Before the contract you see every budget line — boats, crew, transfers, catering, insurance, taxes. Afterwards, a detailed final report with the actual spend.
A clear process
We work to a process you can follow: an agreed brief, a detailed itinerary, a working plan for each day. Any change is discussed with HR and procurement in advance — no surprises in the budget or the schedule. Every task has an owner and everything is on paper.
Carbon care
We factor route efficiency into planning, offer carbon-offset options, and favour shore berths with mains power where possible. Sustainability notes go to procurement on request — the format suits corporate ESG committees.
The long game
80% of clients come back the following year. We do not optimise for a single transaction — we build relationships where an HR director knows the name of our ops manager and writes to them directly a year later.
Credentials
Built on the same operational rigour as the platforms you use.
Experienced skippers
Every charter sails with a professional skipper and engineer of record. Crew CVs available on request before contract.
Crew CVs on request
GDPR-compliant data handling
We comply with GDPR for lead handling and keep discretion across every European base. NDA available on request.
