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.

From waves to inner peace: Why yoga is the perfect complement to sailing
Imagine that. The morning sun lazily drifts over the horizon, its rays dancing on the calm surface of the sea. You're standing on the deck of a yacht, with only the sound of waves and seagulls around you. No stress, no deadlines, just you, the sea and complete peace. Now add to that a morning yoga stretch on a deserted beach. Sound like a dream? Maybe it does. But it also sounds like a damn good vacation plan.
The combination of sailing and yoga may at first seem like a strange hybrid, like a cross between a seal and a llama. But make no mistake. The two activities go together like gin and tonic. Sailing is about freedom, adventure and connecting with nature. Yoga is about finding inner peace, harmony and connection with yourself. Together they form a perfect synergy that will take your holiday at sea to a whole new level.
Sailing adventures with a rod in hand: tips for fishing at sea
Imagine that. The sun is slowly dipping towards the horizon, colouring the sea surface in shades of orange and purple. You're standing on the deck of a yacht, bobbing lazily on the waves, holding a fishing rod and feeling that familiar tension. And then it comes. A jerk. An experience that combines the calm of the sea with the adrenaline of the hunt. That's what sailing Croatia with a rod in your hand is all about. It's not just a holiday, it's a mission. A mission for the freshest dinner of your life.
Combining sailing with fishing is like adding bacon to eggs - it elevates an already great thing to divine manna. Instead of just cruising around picturesque bays, you become an active part of the marine ecosystem. And let's face it, pulling a dinner out of the water that you'll throw on the grill in a few hours is just style.
