Business aboard Che Bella Vita
Corporate Away Days
and Team Building
A VIP experience with real boating, quality home-made food and space to talk. Time to think, and something different to do together.
Corporate away days
A day out of the office, properly on the water
Bring your colleagues aboard for a solid boating experience, with plenty of space to meet, chat and discuss business issues. Take the wheel under supervision, try ropework or drive the tender, then make time for the conversations you came to have.
Corporate away days can be arranged directly with us. We will talk through your team, what you want from the day and where Che Bella Vita will be, before agreeing the details.
Take the helm
Drive Che Bella Vita under Mike's supervision. Get a feel for handling a real Dutch barge and work together as the boat makes her way along the waterway.
Ropes and practical boat work
Try ropework and the practical tasks of boating, with the crew alongside to guide you. There is real work to share and plenty to learn together.
Time in the tender
Have a go at driving the tender under supervision, where the location and conditions allow. A different perspective on the water and another hands-on experience.
Space for a conversation
There is plenty of space aboard to meet, chat and discuss business issues, with time to step back from the everyday office routine.
High-speed satellite internet for all devices
Internet access is available 24/7 for everyone aboard, with power for laptops, tablets and phones, so your team can stay connected while aboard.
Quality home-made food
All-inclusive hospitality aboard, with quality home-made food and personal crew service. We agree the meals and drinks for your day in advance and plan around your team's dietary requirements.
Your skipper
A safe pair of hands
Mike comes from a corporate background and understands working with corporate clients. He brings that experience to planning your time aboard, as well as his experience as a professional skipper.
Meet Mike and the crewPractical boating, thoughtfully planned
No boating experience is needed. Helming, ropework and tender driving are supervised, with activities chosen to suit your team, the location and the conditions on the day.
High-speed satellite internet access is available around the clock, so stepping away from the office does not mean losing touch with it.
For established team building companies
Your programme, our boat and boating knowledge
We welcome established team building agencies who want to offer exercises or experiences on the water. We can help you design and build the exercises, or take instruction from your team building company and support the programme you already have in mind.
Team building is offered only through established team building companies. We do not sell team building programmes directly to corporate clients.
Build it with us
Bring your objectives and ideas. We can help turn them into exercises that use the boat, practical boating tasks and time on the water.
Bring your own programme
Tell us how your facilitators want the experience to work. We can follow your brief, with Mike retaining responsibility for safe operation of the boat.
Start a conversation
Tell us what your team has in mind
Send your preferred dates, group size, objectives and any access or dietary requirements. We will discuss the location, suitable activities and costs with you personally. We do not assume a particular group size will fit every activity.
Paid guest trips are on inland waterways for now, as Che Bella Vita is not yet coded for sea passages. Our route, weather and waterway conditions shape what we can offer.
