Executive Development For Your Core Executive Team
It’s the Best of Both Worlds!
Sailing Ventures International, Inc. places you and your core executive team in the “real world” of wind and waves. You will discover the phenomenal parallels between sailing and running an effective organization. This unique learning adventure will maximize the potential of transferring the insights gained in how each of your top people contribute to your organization’s success.

Optimum Teambuilding Through Study and Sailing
This sailing experience provides both classroom study about leadership and team building and on-the-water practice initiatives aboard sailing yachts. But participants do not need to know how to sail. Basic sailing instruction is provided and a qualified skipper is on board to supervise the fun.
Sailing Ventures International, Inc. designs programs to bring the power of your team to life. The power of synergy becomes reality as executives discover how non-communication and a non-supportive atmosphere fails to make the boat function effectively. Behavior changes needed to improve your sailing adventure are discovered to be exactly those also needed to increase your executives’ performance back home.
The insights are identical between how an executive team must navigate both the yacht and the organization through ever-changing conditions. It would not be a surprise to hear more than one member of your team say, “This makes more sense than anything I’ve ever done before!”

A customized itinerary is available when you are ready to schedule your retreat.
