Corporate Team Building Events in Kemah

Are you looking to plan a corporate team-building event to bring your employees closer together? Great team bonding requires getting people out of the familiar and preferably somewhere where they can’t easily drift off elsewhere in small groups. Sure, you could book a room at a local bar but how’s that different from a happy hour after work? For proper team building, you need something different. That’s why team-building sailing is the perfect solution that your team will be talking about long afterward – or at least until the next time you take them out on the water.

You can get your team working together in a fun environment with a team racing challenge from Windward SeaVenture. Our instructors will teach your team the basic positions of helmsman, winchman, mainsheet trimmer, and navigator, along with the fundamentals of sailing like tacking, jibing, and sail trimming. In addition to being a great deal of fun, this allows your team to face an unfamiliar challenge by working together outside of the confines of the office. It’s a great way to break the ice with new employees too.

When you go with Windward SeaVenture for your team building event you can choose to have a relaxing cruise if you just want people to get to know each other, or, for some real team bonding, have them learn together how to operate one of our sailing vessels. Depending on how much intensity your office likes, it can be a relaxing sail, a set of technical challenges, or an intense intra-office competition if you want to get your colleagues fully engaged.

If you want to increase the stakes and get the competitive juices flowing, why not pit your people against each other with a team regatta challenge in which two boats and crews compete directly. It’s a great way to blow off steam and wonderful preparation for when teams need to work together on the real-world challenges that pay the bills. If you’re a manager, it’s also a sly way to see how well people work together before you draw up permanent assignments. We won’t tell them that’s what you’re really up to!

Don’t settle for boring team-bonding exercises for work when you can do much better. Contact Windward SeaVenture to ask about our Houston sailboat charters for your next company event.
