Corporate Team Building Sailing Events

We have years of experience with corporate sailing events. We will tailor your sailing event to the needs of your team.

  • We can organize a tightly structured "team building" event or provide a less structured event. Both type of events allow your team to enjoy themselves and spend quality time together away from the stresses of the workday.
  • Sailing on San Francisco Bay is an excellent way to build all aspects of your team.
  • We can arrange Corporate Charter trips for parties of 6 to 60 - call us to discuss.

Our previous clients for teambuilding events have included:

  • Google (2006 & 2007)

  • Cisco

  • Hewlett Packard

  • NVIDIA

  • Gap Inc.

  • Stanford University (2005, 2006 & 2007)

  • Price Waterhouse

  • Merrill Lynch

  • Palo Alto Medical Foundation

  • EBay

  • StubHub.com

  • MIT Sloan School of Management (Sloan Fellows)

Our Corporate Team Building events focus on Communication, Problem Solving and Team Competition.

  • Communication: San Francisco sailing builds effective communication. We will train each team member in different positions (trimming sails, steering, calling tactics, etc). Then we will change positions to let everyone have a chance at the different positions. The crew members' have fun while learning new skills. Captain Kirk is an excellent instructor with very effective teaching and sailing skills. His enthusiasm for sailing will help the team enjoy the day.
  • Problem Solving: As the team develops an understanding of the boat we may begin drills such as Man-overboard drills. In the case of the MOB drill, the team must retrieve a float dropped into the water with the boat under sail. This is a difficult task and often requires several attempts. Effective communication and problem solving are required.
  • Team Competition: Once the crew has learned some skills, then we go looking for other boats to race. For events of two boats or more, the final task is a race across the Bay. Flying Tiger is a fast boat and we often catch and pass other boats.

Benefits: The benefits of effective communication and problem-solving are important to all teams. Sailing "Flying Tiger" on San Francisco Bay is an excellent way to strengthen your existing team. Some of the less obvious benefits include time to develop effective personal connections with team members. Many times during the sailing and discussions, team members find a common connection with a team member that never surfaces in the workplace. These bonds are important.

 

Enjoy sailing a fast racing yacht and also improve your team.
