Why this event?

Get ready for a high-impact team building water activity that helps identify leadership characteristics of your attendees in an exciting, hands-on environment. As your team building event begins, each team receives the specialized equipment, tools and blueprints they’ll need to construct their boats. 

While you always want your boat to look good, these contraptions also need to be capable of floating through a designated race course. When teams collaborate, communicate and execute well, the boats are surprisingly seaworthy and reliable. Without teamwork, let’s just say the results can be both hilarious and memorable.

There are lots of different roles needing to be filled on each individual team, so everyone can engage on a level that works best for them. Teams earn points for innovative ideas, most beautiful boat design, best team flag, most team involvement, best collaboration with other teams and more. A closing award ceremony is the perfect way to end on a high note with the entire group celebrating together.
