Our clients’ views on team building with Sunsail

On sailing and building great teams
"Take them out of their own context and strip away their learned behaviours, you can get a true picture of personality, ability to communicate, reaction under pressure…the boat is a great vehicle for doing team development"

"You are part of something bigger, everyone is focussed on the same goal and everyone has a role to play…. Sailing is a beautiful analogy for a project team or a management team"


“The sailing course was not only an excellent day allowing us to experience something new, but it also gave me a different perspective on teamwork. Everything prior to this had been in a safe office environment, where decisions could be debated with little critical time pressure. Having to make an immediate decision on a moving boat, where communication is difficult, and everyone is struggling to learn and apply new skills, is a totally different experience. Over the time on the boat, our level of communication and team work noticeably improved and is therefore something I would recommend to everyone.”
Paul de Croos, Corporate Manager, Retail & Real Estate Group

“The whole experience on the water on day one made the classroom-based learning that much more meaningful on day two.”
Neil Sheridan, Credit Manager


“Not just the sailing part of the three days but the key messages about leadership, team dynamics and setting and creating culture were possibly the most powerful training that we have had……Bringing these elements into a live challenge and really understanding how the individuals and the teams worked to achieve a winning result was a very powerful way to underpin these skills.”
Mark Middleton, Commercial Banking, UK


On motivational speakers
"Wills contribution to the Slough Estates charity yacht racing challenge was to add the icing to the cake. He pitched the tone and content perfectly in order to apeal to both novice and salty sea dog alike! If we had seen the footage before the event we may have struggled for crew, such was the effect of its impact.."


On organising and managing your event
"[Sunsail] tell you what will work well and what won’t work, and they will bend over backwards for you."
