Biarritz has a sheltered harbour, a long Atlantic coastline and a sailing tradition. For a corporate group, a sailing outing offers a rare combination of physical participation and calm conversation, which suits a team or a board that wants a break from the meeting room. The skipper chooses the course according to wind and sea state, and explains each manoeuvre as it happens.
Depending on the boat and conditions, the group can take the helm, handle the sails or simply sit back on deck. The outing is planned for the morning or late afternoon, when the wind is usually easier to read. Refreshments can be arranged on board on request, and the group can end the day at a seafront restaurant.
Obiettivi
- Offer a hands-on activity that does not depend on experience
- Use the Atlantic coast as a setting for an informal conversation about leadership
- Combine a short programme with a seafront lunch or dinner
- Provide a calm contrast to a busy seminar or convention
Svolgimento
- 1We confirm the date, group size and boat type with the skipper, and check the forecast for wind and sea state.
- 2The group meets at the harbour and receives a safety briefing and the rules for moving on deck.
- 3The skipper sails the planned course, involving participants in the manoeuvres as conditions allow.
- 4The group returns to port, and the programme continues with a lunch, an aperitif or a transfer back to the hotel.
Da sapere
- Sailing depends on wind and sea state. The skipper may change the course or the departure time for safety reasons.
- Closed, non-slip shoes, sun protection and a light waterproof layer are advised.
- Motion sickness affects some people. Guests who are prone to it should take advice before boarding.
- Spring and autumn are often the most comfortable months, although the coast can be windy at any time of year.
Budget indicativo
Indicative, from around €150 per person excluding VAT for a half-day outing with skipper, based on a group of 6 to 12. Boat hire, refreshments and transfers are priced separately.
Domande frequenti
Do participants need sailing experience?
No. The skipper explains each manoeuvre, and participants join in only at the level they are comfortable with.
What if the weather is unsuitable?
The outing is moved to another day or replaced by a coastal walk or an indoor session. We keep the alternative ready once the date is set.
Can the outing be combined with a dinner?
Yes. Many groups finish the day at a restaurant on the seafront or in the old town, which we can book on request, subject to availability.
