What the Sailing Regatta team building is
One of the most prestigious sailing team building formats internationally, and a natural fit for a company based in Barcelona.
Teams are split across several yachts and race under professional skippers, where coordination counts as much as the sailing itself.
How the Sailing Regatta works
Here's how Sailing Regatta Team Building works, step by step:
- Each team boards a yacht with a professional skipper.
- The skipper explains the basic manoeuvres and assigns roles aboard: helm, sail trim and tactics.
- The teams race a marked course offshore.
- Points are scored on time and on well-executed manoeuvres, closing with a trophy ceremony ashore.
When to organise a company regatta: season and planning
A sailing regatta is an experience that depends on the sea and the wind, so choosing the right date is part of its success. Planning ahead lets you match the departure to the time of year, the size of the group and the type of event.
- Choosing the season: the activity depends on the weather and the time of year, so it is worth discussing the most suitable dates with us before finalising the programme.
- Fitting it into the event: it works as the centrepiece of an incentive trip, as an afternoon activity at a convention or as a celebration of targets met.
- Working out the boats: the number of yachts and skippers depends on the participants, as each team sails its own boat.
- Having a plan B: if the weather does not cooperate, it is important to have another option in mind so the day is not lost.
We take care of the yachts, the professional skippers and coordination on land, and we adapt the departure to the marina closest to the event, in Barcelona or along the Spanish coast. If you are planning a sailing team building for companies, tell us your dates and we will help you set up the corporate regatta with the lead time it needs.

Corporate sailing regatta in Barcelona: team building on a yacht
Set sail
A corporate sailing regatta in Barcelona is one of those experiences nobody forgets: wind, sea and a team that has to work together without wasting a second. This sailing team building puts each person in a key position on board and shows in minutes what good coordination is worth. Ideal for companies looking for a premium format.
Our yacht activity for companies adapts to conventions in Barcelona and other coastal cities, departing from the nearest marina. It works very well as a sailing incentive for VIP clients, in executive programmes or as an anniversary celebration. You decide whether you prefer an intense race or a more relaxed sail with a final regatta. Ask us about dates and we will prepare a proposal suited to the season.
- VIP client incentives: a corporate regatta off the coast as an exclusive experience to build loyalty.
- Executive teams and boards: team building at sea that trains clear roles and quick decisions under pressure.
- Conventions in coastal cities: a half-day sailing activity using the marina closest to your hotel.
- Company anniversaries: sailing on yachts followed by a trophy ceremony ashore to celebrate in style.

Sailing Regatta price
Every event is different, so the price to hire the Sailing Regatta is determined by how many yachts and skippers are needed, the length of the race and the time of year. Tell us your idea and we will send a personalised proposal, no obligation.
Organisation and available marinas
The Sailing Regatta sails from marinas in Barcelona and along the Spanish coast, with the departure point matched to where the event is held.
We arrange the yachts, the skippers and the shore-side coordination; the client only has to get participants to the marina at the agreed time.
Booking the Sailing Regatta
Paying 50% upfront by invoice is what locks in the Sailing Regatta for your event. By email, tell us:
- The date and time the event will be held.
- The exact address, along with a contact person.
- The total number of participants.
- The tax data for billing.
When a cancellation happens for justified reasons, weather included, we assess returning the amount in accordance with the terms we have agreed.
Frequently asked questions
What does the Sailing Regatta team building activity involve?
Teams are split across sailing boats and race on a marked course off the coast, with a professional skipper on board. Each participant has a role (helm, sail trim or tactics), points are awarded for time and manoeuvres, and trophies are presented on shore.
Do you need sailing experience for the Sailing Regatta?
No, the Sailing Regatta requires no previous sailing experience: the skipper explains the basic manoeuvres before setting off and assigns the roles on board. The boats, life jackets and safety equipment are included, with one professional skipper per boat.
What happens to the Sailing Regatta if the weather is bad?
The Sailing Regatta depends on the weather: if the sea does not allow it, the date or the activity is changed. It is also subject to the time of year, so it is best to ask us about dates so we can prepare a proposal suited to the season.
Where does the Sailing Regatta start, and how many people can take part?
It sets off from a marina in Barcelona or on the Spanish coast, depending on where the event is held. Between 8 and 80 people can take part, 6 to 8 per boat, for 3 to 4 hours. The client only needs to bring the group to the marina at the agreed time.
