When it comes to rewarding and motivating your team, a day of sailing with a delicious lunch ashore at The Hut in Colwell Bay on the Isle of Wight, offers an unbeatable, unique experience. Hosted by Britannia Events, this 1-day Team Building event promises an engaging and refreshing break from the routine, set against the stunning backdrop of the Solent.
Start Your Day on a High Note
Your team’s adventure begins at Port Hamble Marina at 8am, where they will be greeted with a hearty breakfast. Choices include a hot buffet at the waterside café or a selection of Danish pastries on board. This welcoming start ensures everyone is energised and ready for the day ahead.
Setting Sail on the Solent
Following breakfast, your team will receive a comprehensive boat familiarisation from an experienced skipper. This introduction is essential for ensuring everyone feels safe and comfortable on the water, whether they are seasoned sailors or complete novices. No sailing experience is required, making this event accessible and enjoyable for all team members.
Once everyone is acquainted with the yacht, it’s time to set sail on the Solent. Known as the home of yachting, this area offers ideal sailing conditions and breath taking scenery. Your team can take turns at the helm, participate in sailing activities, or simply relax and enjoy the experience. This flexibility allows each person to engage at their comfort level, fostering a sense of camaraderie and mutual support.
Lunch at The Hut, Colwell Bay
Around midday, your yacht will dock on the Isle of Wight, where you’ll head to The Hut in Colwell Bay for lunch. The Hut is renowned for its laid-back, beachfront dining experience. Here, your team can indulge in fresh, locally sourced seafood and other gourmet dishes while taking in the panoramic views of the bay.
The atmosphere at The Hut allows for all delegates to feel ‘rewarded’, offering a wide range of options suitable for all diets. When dining by the sea though, we strongly recommend trying some of the delicious ‘caught today” options on the menu.
This alfresco dining experience not only satisfies the palate but also provides a relaxed setting for team members to bond over shared conversations and laughter.
Afternoon Sailing and Team Bonding
After lunch, it’s back to the yacht for more sailing. The afternoon session allows for further team interaction and enjoyment on the water. The invigorating sea breeze and the rhythm of the waves create a perfect atmosphere for informal discussions and team bonding.
These shared experiences often lead to a better understanding among team members, fostering stronger working relationships back in the office.
Returning to Port
As the day draws to a close, the yacht will sail back to Hamble. This final leg of the journey offers time for reflection on the day’s activities and achievements. The shared sense of accomplishment and the memories created during the day will leave your team feeling inspired and valued.
