Wild WorkationYour team deserves more than Zoom calls and meeting rooms
A week on a yacht in the Mediterranean. Work — with a view of the sea. Lunch — on an island. Evenings — together. This is not a vacation and not a conference. It is a format where your team recharges, connects, and comes up with ideas they would never have found in the office. We handle everything: the vessel, the route, and accommodation. You bring the team — and simply work.
Six reasons to organise a team workation
Arguments for the person making the decision
Connects people better than any team-building
Rope courses and quizzes bring people together for an evening. A week at sea — for much longer. When people live side by side, prepare for mooring together, and help each other raise the sails, real trust forms between them. The kind that shows up in the work: conflicts resolved faster, feedback given more honestly, help asked for more easily.
A reset without losing productivity
This is not a vacation where the mind shuts off. People keep working — just in a different rhythm. Mornings for meetings and tasks, afternoons for islands and sea, evenings for conversations over dinner. This shift of context resets people as effectively as two weeks of rest, but the team comes back not just refreshed — switched: with a new perspective on their work and on each other.
Decisions that had been stuck for months
Strategic questions are poorly resolved in a meeting room with coffee. On a yacht, the space for thinking is different. No distractions, no urgent tasks from other departments, no sense that someone is waiting for you on the next call. Teams that arrive with an agenda leave with decisions. It is not magic — just the right context.
Retaining people who are hard to retain
Strong specialists choose not only salary but also how their working life is structured. A workation is a signal: "we care about what it feels like to work on this team". People who have traveled together leave less often. Not because they were bought with a trip — but because they became part of something they do not want to leave behind.
Ideas are not born in the office
A change of environment breaks habitual thinking patterns. A conversation on deck at 9 pm, when no one is rushing anywhere, produces more than a brainstorm in the calendar. People start thinking differently when what surrounds them is sea, mountains, and a sunset — not a flip chart and a marker. These are exactly the moments when ideas appear that change the direction of a product or a team.
It is simply good to work alongside each other
Remote teams often lose the sense of "we". People become avatars in Slack and voices on a call. A workation brings back physical presence — real faces, gestures, laughter. The way you work does not change after this, but the quality of relationships inside the team does. And that shows up in every message, every review, every "can you help me figure this out".

Questions about team workations
Everything you need to know about organising a sailing workation for your remote team.
Yes. We charter the entire catamaran exclusively for your group, so no strangers on board. You get 4–6 private cabins, a shared saloon, and a sundeck — your floating office and retreat space for the week.
Most team workations work best with 4–8 people — enough for lively collaboration but small enough that everyone gets quality time together. For larger groups (up to 24) we can arrange a fleet of 2–3 catamarans sailing the same route.
Mornings (08:00–13:00) are dedicated to focused work — we anchor in a calm bay with stable Starlink or 4G connection. Afternoons are for sailing, swimming, and exploring. Evenings are yours for team dinners and conversations. You can adapt the schedule to match your sprints, retros, or planning sessions.
We provide Starlink satellite internet on board (20–100 Mbps) plus local 4G SIM cards as backup. Most anchorages in Turkey, Greece, and Croatia have excellent coverage. We always scout connectivity before finalising the itinerary.
Yes. We issue invoices for legal entities. Depending on your country, the trip may qualify as a business expense (team offsite, professional development). We recommend checking with your accountant; we are happy to provide any supporting documentation.
Absolutely. We tailor the route to your preferences — secluded bays for focus days, lively marinas for evenings out, or historical sites for cultural excursions. Tell us your priorities and we will build the itinerary around them.
Pricing depends on the destination, season, and group size. As a guide: a full catamaran for a week starts from approximately €9,000–12,000 all-inclusive (boat, skipper, meals, fuel). Split across 6–8 people that is €1,200–2,000 per person — comparable to or less than a mid-range conference.
Yes. Since the boat is chartered exclusively for your team, there are no outsiders present. Crew members sign NDAs on request. You can work on sensitive projects, conduct internal reviews, or hold strategy sessions with full privacy.
On a boat, the team is together 24/7 in a contained, distraction-free environment — no conference rooms to book, no city noise, no one disappearing to their room. The shared adventure (sailing, anchoring in hidden bays, cooking together) accelerates team bonding far more than a hotel meeting room ever could.
Most HR and finance teams book it under team retreats, L&D (learning and development), or employee wellbeing — all common budget categories for remote-first companies. We provide a detailed invoice with line items (accommodation, transport, professional facilitation) to make internal approval straightforward. Many clients also split costs across departments when multiple teams travel together.
Common outcomes our clients report: faster decision-making after a planning sprint on board, reduced async communication overhead post-trip (teams that spent a week together write shorter Slack threads), and measurably higher eNPS scores in the quarter following the retreat. We can help you design a simple before/after survey if you want structured data to share with leadership.
We recommend booking 8–12 weeks in advance for peak season (June–September) and 4–6 weeks for shoulder season. The process: (1) a 30-minute call to confirm dates, destination, and group profile; (2) we send a detailed proposal and invoice; (3) 50% deposit to secure the boat; (4) balance 30 days before departure. We handle all logistics — boat, skipper, provisioning, transfers. Your only job is to get your team to the departure port.
Dietary requirements (vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, allergies) are collected during onboarding and handled by the cook or skipper provisioning. Sailing catamarans are wide and stable, but are not suitable for guests with severe mobility impairments — we will tell you honestly if a specific route or boat is a good fit. For emergencies: all vessels carry first-aid kits and VHF radio; the skipper holds a maritime safety licence; we are always within reach of a port or coastguard. We recommend all guests carry travel insurance, and we can recommend providers.
Yes. Beyond the sailing itself (which is naturally team-building), we can arrange: facilitated retrospectives and planning sessions, workshops on deep work and async communication, evening roundtables, and local cultural experiences (cooking class, guided hike, snorkelling with a local guide). If you have an internal facilitator or coach, we build the schedule around their agenda. If not, we can recommend partners.
