How teambuilding on a boat strengthens team spirit

So, team building on the boat, you say? I'll admit, when I first heard it, I pictured team "karaoke" with fish in the hold. But once I experienced firsthand what such a week at sea with colleagues entails, I changed my mind faster than paper beats stone. After all, who wouldn't want to test their team spirit by sailing among dolphins and anchoring in Croatian bays?

Meals as part of teambuilding

Now let's take a look at how food on board can add just the right amount of juice to your team activity. Think some bananas and oatmeal will make an impression here? No, they won't. Eating on a ship is an experience in itself, and not just because you're trying to keep the eggs on your plate steadier than the Titanic.

You have two options on the ship: either take the culinary arts into your own hands, or hire a hostess to provide breakfast and lunch. And trust me, nothing brings a team together faster than trying to grill breakfast together in rough seas.

If that sounds like a nightmare, you can, of course, hire the hostess. But watch out! Like the captain, she's staying with you on the boat. So if your culinary talents end at spaghetti and ketchup (no cheese), you should probably consider professional help.

What about dinner? Here comes the real test of team logistics. You're usually heading ashore in the evening, which means you need to plan your route well - because the last thing you want to experience is a romantic canned dinner overlooking a deserted beach.

Of course, speaking of the mainland - don't forget to visit the local tavernas and restaurants. It's a great way to sample local specialties and piece together some stories about how your mate stuck his anchor in the kelp.

And you know what? Sometimes eating out is about more than just food. It's about bringing people together over a plate of good fodder. Because as a wise man once said, "Love goes through the stomach." And who knows? Maybe so does team spirit!

So, do you want to boost team spirit? Pack your bags, throw on your bathing suits and get on the boat! Who knows, maybe you'll catch a funny story in addition to the waves and discover that your office mate is a great sea wolf... or at least knows how to balance well on deck.
