Corporate sailing days and weekends are a perfect way to both entertain important clients and reward staff. No sailing experience is necessary - most guests have never been sailing before - and yet the experience generates a real sense of achievement and participation, a return that you just don't get from land based events.

 

Luxury Sailing

 

We offer a range of luxury sailing days for up to 10 guests and luxury weekends for up to 6 guests. The yacht is fully crewed and custom built for sheer indulgence and comfort - ideal for providing hospitality to important clients.

 

Guests are welcome to take part in the sailing or settle back and enjoy the cruise. Good food is an absolute hallmark of our corporate sailing events, we have stunning onboard catering as well as access to excellent restaurants and yacht clubs around The Solent. 

 

 

 

 

Corporate - Client Entertainment

 

Sailing is a great way to entertain clients in a way they will be sure to remember. It's participative, it's competitive, it's exciting and best of all it's great fun.

We are based at Gosport Marina
, which has immediate access to the whole of the Solent. This means you spend more of your day sailing rather than motoring to and from the marina!

Attention to detail and personal involvement is the hallmark of Windswept. We understand the importance of pleasing individuals and groups alike and will ensure that your event promotes you, your company or organisation and not us! Our aim is that you return to us at a later date and on a continuing basis.

Our luxury yacht, commissioned in 2009, is finished to the highest standards throughout.


Your event will be "tailor made" for you. From the starting location, to where you sail and to where you complete your day and say your final farewells.


The sailing programme can vary, to be either a relaxing day or more hectic with lots of sailing exercises. Lunch can be taken, for example, in Cowes either onboard the yacht or in a restaurant or sailing club. If you are doing a two-day event we can also arrange  dinner in a local restaurant or sailing club.

At the end of your event we recommend having a prize giving, as it provides you with an opportunity to thank your guests for coming to the event and to reward the winners.

 

 

Corporate - Clothing and Yacht Branding

 

Want to make a smart impression and leave a lasting impression?

 

Why not give your "crew" some team clothing?

 

Crews love to have a memento of the event and it will give them something to remember you by and be proud to wear long after the event. The yacht can also be branded to meet your marketing needs.

We can provide the following items branded to make your event that extra bit special:

Clothing :

 

Ø      Polo Shirts

Ø      Fleeces

Ø      Crew "Rugby Style" Shirts

Ø      Crew Jackets

Ø      Foul Weather Gear

Ø      Caps and Hats

 

Yacht :

 

Ø      Decals

Ø      Promotional Spinnakers

Ø      Corporate Flags

 

 

 

 

 

Corporate - Team Building

 

Sailing is, quite simply, the most effective sport at facilitating teambuilding. It encompasses all the key ingredients of good teamwork; planning, motivation, delegation, leadership and communication.

 

A day spent sailing onboard a yacht is the ideal way to develop stronger team skills - skills we ensure are readily transferred back to your office. Sailing is a perfect team building activity as it requires your staff members to work together and rely on each other. It places them in unique situations where they can develop good practices, easily adaptable to their everyday working environments.

 

We offer both formal and informal days

 

Windswept International can work with you to deliver either an informal or a fully structured team building event, designed to teach the precise skills your team requires. Whatever your goal, we have the facilities and the experience to organise a really successful day.

Both styles of event offer your employees the chance to develop stronger team skills in an exciting environment. They will be able to enjoy a healthy competitiveness and individuals will be able to display talents that have remained hidden in the office. In short, sailing makes a perfect platform for team building, enabling each team member to reap the rewards of their own and their team’s experience – and for your business to benefit in turn.


Informal - Encourage teamwork


Sailing offers a natural environment to promote teamwork. If you are looking for a fun, exciting and memorable day for your staff members that will give them an insight into working better as part of a team, a day onboard our luxury yacht is ideal.


Our professional Skippers will help your team get to grips with sailing and in doing so, you’ll see your staff members begin to work more efficiently and effectively together.

We can create team building events tailored to suit your  requirements.

Formal - Structured team building


When you need your team to make more radical progress, we have the experts available to help. In partnership with our professional facilitators, ESB, we’ll develop a tailor-made programme to help your team improve on specific areas. We’ll need your input, particularly at the early planning stage, to define the issues important to you and the business outcomes that you require.

This type of corporate team building is unbeatable at significantly developing any team’s performance and training management, and for helping to reconstruct and motivate a dysfunctional team. The cost per person is low, but the potential improvements your business could see are outstanding.

Leadership and team development is approached in a completely new way, allowing us to measurably improve your team’s attitude and behaviour. As the event progresses, every individual will achieve significant personal successes, which, on return to the office, will help your business to achieve more. The programme is intentionally structured to deliver lasting benefits, rather than short-term fixes.

A comprehensive range of lessons will be delivered within modules, tailoring all of our tools to your own business. This ensures your team building day will meet all your objectives. The areas covered include:

  • improving communication

  • enhancing emotional intelligence

  • crisis management and handling conflict

  • problem solving

  • understanding & overcoming the barriers to change

  • building a new team

  • working with team members not personally chosen

  • improving productivity

  • recruiting the right team members

 

 

 

Corporate - Staff Reward

 

What better way to "Reward" your team!

 

Sometimes your staff need to be rewarded for their hard work. A days sailing with Windswept provides the ideal break from the day to day pressured office. Out in the fresh air with good food and drink your staff can simply enjoy the scenery whilst truly relaxing. Morale, energy and commitment will be renewed whilst cementing your team and their loyalty.

During our reward sailing events your team will be indulged to the extreme. First timers and the long-time mariner alike will thoroughly enjoy our hospitality onboard. Everyone can experience and try their hand at sailing under the care of a professional skipper. Or if they wish to simply enjoy the ride...no problem.


We have a range of reward programmes that can be tailored to suit your requirements.
