How to pamper your team and clients at sea

A lot of companies book a sailing trip with Elise, which makes sense because such a trip has a lot to offer.  Moreover, sailing is an activity that is good for the image and in line with the values of a modern company.

Sailing is environmentally friendly, ecological, adventurous and sporty. 
Elise adds style, elegance and comfort.

Team building, incentive, customer loyalty, company outing: the name is not important,
but how you approach it.

A full day with your team: teambuilding or outing. 

Working together is important on a sailing yacht, our crew will guide your team in active sailing.  Take turns steering, hoisting, operating the sheets and winches; learn how minute adjustments to the sails improve performance.

All safely and under expert guidance.  From the VIP cockpit, the other participants follow their colleagues’ performance.

With more than 12 participants, we engage a second yacht, in which case a small competition – a regatta – is possible.

Often, being together and experiencing the North Sea is enough to boost group spirit with your employees and management.

For instance, you will experience a team member (in port and safely in a harness) climbing the mast to take a unique group photo.

Dinner on board or in port: we will create a customised programme according to your wishes.  A day at sea sharpens the appetite, about noon we have to eat!  A varied sandwich lunch tastes good at sea, then we adjust course and sail.  If the sea is too choppy, or on demand, we may call at a port.  Sailing into Newport or Zeebrugges is a separate experience.

Those opting for an afternoon restaurant know that there is plenty of choice in the ports (we are happy to give you some addresses).  It does come off the sailing time and be aware that an overfull stomach – topped with alcohol – is the ideal basis for seasickness!   After the sailing day over a nice meal is a safer choice.

 

With clients, a trip with Eliseis an incentive, a reward and an opportunity to fraternise with your team.  In the VIP cockpit we have often heard sales calls, on demand we are happy to make room to sign the contracts!

In half a day, it’s more of a sightseeing trip.  The coast looks completely different from Elise!  Enjoy the sea air, watch the fishing boats chased by dozens of seagulls.  After a product show, get out to sea and get some fresh air.  Again, we recommend providing the sumptuous meal after the trip!  We have already experienced several occasions when the afternoon trip has been postponed by an hour because the restaurant visit ran out of time…

We are happy to help you in plotting an unforgettable team/customer experience.
