5 tips for your conference trip on a yacht
Holding conferences with colleagues in a traditional location such as a conference hotel or office space is something many are used to. But if you really want to create a memorable experience, bring creativity to life and create stronger bonds between colleagues, then a conference on a yacht in the Mediterranean or Sweden with More Sailing is something to consider. Here are five reasons why a conference trip on a yacht is a winning concept.
“There is no better conference room as far as I’m concerned. The discussions were really good and relaxed and the trip strengthened group cohesion. A memory for life!”
Nicole Lindsjö, Top of Minds1. Stronger connections with colleagues
Holding a conference on a yacht is a unique chance to build long-lasting connections. Without the usual routines and structures of the office, everyone gets the chance to socialise on a more relaxed and personal level – creating space for conversations that may not be possible in everyday life.

On board the yacht a professional skipper is in charge of sailing, giving you plenty of time to focus on you and your business. Enjoy shared meals in the cockpit and casual discussions on the foredeck. Explore new places every day and let a shared adventure shape stronger community and cohesion – something that’s invaluable when you return to work.
Of course, you can also participate as much as you want in the sailing itself. Sailing is actually a perfect team-building exercise that requires cooperation, communication and trust. Maybe you could start a regatta if you’re hiring several of our boats? Compete against your colleagues and see which boat makes it to the harbour first!
“Sailing becomes a tool to create a better working environment and a closer relationship between colleagues. Many of our customers say they experience renewed commitment and increased job satisfaction when returning to the office,” says Alexander Jacobsson, Sales Manager at More Sailing.”
2. Let your surroundings inspire you
Going on a conference trip in Croatia, Greece or Italy surrounded by turquoise seas, historic coastal towns and scenic bays often brings creativity to life. Forget boring office walls and PowerPoint presentations for a while and let your surroundings open up new creative mindsets. Maybe you could start a creative workshop on the foredeck? Let this year’s new projects take shape without limitations, strict frameworks or templates.
During a conference trip on a yacht with More Sailing, you’ll visit new places every day, including pristine bays to stop in for lunch, cosy harbours and coastal towns. In the evenings, there is plenty of time to discover your new destination, enjoy local restaurants and stroll in cosy alleys. Returning to work with shared memories and good energy often contributes to more drive and motivation in everyday life.

3. Digital detox – a success factor?
It's not uncommon to feel overwhelmed by constant digital connectivity, calendars jam-packed with meetings and an overflowing inbox. A sailing trip with More Sailing is a unique opportunity to disconnect from the digital noise and be in the present. There is something liberating about being on board a yacht surrounded by waves, the scent of Mediterranean pine trees and the silence of the sea. The boat becomes its own separate environment where you can concentrate on meaningful discussions, brainstorming and team building in peace and quiet.
4. A flexible approach
We at More Sailing always do our best to tailor and schedule your conference days based on your needs and wishes. Before the trip, we create a route together with the booking holder, and you as the customer have every opportunity to give feedback and express your wishes. Would you prefer to book a conference room on land? Do you want to do team building exercises while having lunch in a bay or plan a regatta against your colleagues on the other boat? We have plenty of experience in planning conferences on yachts and have had groups of over 100 people.

5. Make lifelong memories
A conference on a sailboat in the Mediterranean or Sweden is so much more than team building and work meetings. Sailing together in the Mediterranean or in Sweden, exploring new places and maybe even learning a little about sailing is something that will hopefully stay with many colleagues long after returning home – in the form of job satisfaction and commitment. Do you remember that amazing turquoise bay in that small Greek village? Or do you remember the beautiful sunsets and nice discussions that went on into the small hours? These become precious shared memories that matter.
