Corporate & team building
Team building at sea
On a boat everyone has a role, the wind does not wait, and nobody gets anywhere alone. Pedro designs company days around what your team needs to achieve, for ten people or two hundred.
Why Pedro
Designed by someone who knows teams
Before he was a skipper, Pedro spent years in organisational behaviour, team building, behavioural change and leadership, organising large events and managing projects. So a SkipperPedro company day starts with a question most boat operators never ask: what do you want your people to take back to the office?
From there he chooses the boats, the route and the timing, plans the activities, the food and the music, and stays with your group on the day. You deal with one person from the first call to the last toast.
What we design
Programmes with a purpose
Every company day is built from scratch. These are the briefs we hear most often.
Team building under sail
Your people crew the boat themselves: helm, sail trim, navigation, lookout. Communicating under pressure, trusting each other and adapting to the wind turn into lessons the team feels rather than hears.
Leadership and change
Programmes on leadership and behavioural change that use sailing as the language: setting a course, reading the wind, trimming the sails, knowing when to tack.
Pedro on steering a lifeLaunches and challenges
Unveil a product, a brand or a new business, or set the team its next big challenge, with Lisbon as the backdrop.
Results and incentives
Celebrate a great year or reward the people who made it happen, with a sunset sail, dinner on deck and music.
Welcoming a new team
A day on the water breaks the ice faster than any meeting room. Ideal after a merger, a reorganisation or a wave of new hires.
Meetings and seminars afloat
Work meetings, presentations and seminars aboard the Príncipe Perfeito, followed by cocktails as the sun goes down.
Formats
Half a day, a full day or an evening
Sailing challenge
Teams take a yacht each and sail the Tagus together, with a skipper aboard every boat to coach and keep everyone safe.
A full day out
A morning of activities, lunch at anchor off Cascais or Sesimbra, a swim, and time to talk properly on the way home.
Evening event
Cocktails, a banquet and music aboard the Go Mary, our 20-metre sailing catamaran, as the city lights up along the river.
