Corporate and Group Sailing Days
Sailing on the waves is exhilarating and full of excitement. Learning the lay of the ropes, maneuvering the sails and understanding when to raise the spinnaker, is a real challenge which relies on pulling together and working as a team.

One of our most popular programmes combines the thrills of powerboating and the power of sail, utilising some of the most powerful boats and largest yachts in UK waters. Whilst half the group members encounter the exhiliration of crewing a majestic yacht, the other half will compete in an exciting powerboat challenge.

"I am sure I can speak on behalf of all staff, to say thank you very much for making our weekend very enjoyable.
I know from talking to the girls that we all enjoyed the RIB very much and wanted to keep going round on it. We also enjoyed the experience of the yacht, and it was a shame that we could not race in the afternoon. I am sure our yacht would have won. I cannot believe that the other yacht took the glory!! But at least we won on the soaking front!!
Also please thank the skippers and hostesses for keeping us all safe and well, fed and watered, although the other yacht would say they missed out, Cakes, what a shame!!
Hopefully our company will work with you again soon."
Thanks once again. Regards, Lisa Clark - Pilz
