"Insert your company name here!"

More and more organisations are turning to the benefits of running their own corporate regattas and sailing events.  Not only are they extremely rewarding and motivational to the people involved, but the knock on effects are limitless.

Imagine your company logo flying from flag poles at every corner of the marina, every individual proudly wearing your team kit and every yacht carrying your company livery.

Many of the larger industry regattas started as two or three boat day sailing days are now so well respected that they demand TV and national press coverage.

Whether it's for your staff,  as an internal reward and recognition event, or as an opportunity to invite your clients, customers or suppliers, the brand and loyalty advantages are limitless.  

Model 1 the internal regatta.

Used as a reward or incentive for your staff or departments to compete against one and other or for just good fun.

Also you receive a unique opportunity to spend time with your colleagues in this most rewarding of environments, but for free you get the improved communication and tangible links to high performing teams and a lasting memory which motivates and just keeps living and living..

That is until next year’s regatta!

Model 2 the external regatta.

Invite your clients to compete in the 'insert your company name here' regatta!

Not only great fun, but an event where you get to take the glory and the credit!
Invite your clients, customers and suppliers to your regatta and not only do you provide an amazing networking opportunity but a chance to consolidate relationships, forge new ones and build loyalty.

We will work closely with you, and our PR team, to help maximise the exposure you gain from your event. As an example, a regatta that started between 3 gentlemen settling a bet over the price of dinner, is now the largest corporate regatta in Europe and the second largest regatta in the UK, it now runs over three days and last year attracted over 270 yachts (that’s without the spectators!)

By championing the event you gain the glory, but not the cost, as this can be spread across teams entering the event, which they won't want to be left out of.

Call a member of the Merchant Yachting team to discuss the possibilities of running your own regatta or send us an enquiry.

“What a truly amazing day! Despite starting as a very nervous and not particularly keen collection of 'land-lubbers', we had - without exception - a fantastic day.”
