If you’re tired of the same old office parties, conference rooms, or catered lunches, it might be time to take your next team event to the water. A boat day offers a refreshing change of pace—literally and figuratively—and can spark the kind of connection and creativity you just don’t get indoors.
Here’s why corporate retreats and team-building days on the lake are catching on, and how you can plan one your whole team will rave about.
🚤 Why a Boat is the Perfect Venue
It’s Relaxing and Rejuvenating. Being on the water naturally lowers stress and boosts mood. The fresh air, open sky, and peaceful surroundings help your team recharge and reset.
Built-In Bonding Time. Unlike a noisy restaurant or rigid meeting schedule, boating encourages natural conversation and collaboration. It’s the perfect setting for team members to connect on a more personal level.
It Feels Like a Reward. Let’s face it—treating your crew to a day on the lake feels a lot more like a “thank you” than a team-building worksheet ever could.
🧩 Ideas to Level Up Your Outing
Team Challenges on the Water. Try lighthearted activities like paddleboard relays, floatie races, or trivia competitions (with fun prizes, of course). These are great ice-breakers and promote teamwork without the pressure.
On-Board Workshops or Strategy Sessions. Yes, you can get things done on a boat. A shaded deck with lake views can be the perfect space for a brief brainstorm or planning session before diving into relaxation mode.
Dockside Dining. Bring a cooler with snacks. Many groups love pairing their day with a picnic-style lunch or dinner at a nearby lakeside restaurant.
