How to make your team-building day in London successful

As we all know, the business culture today is a bit too fast-paced and a little hectic at times; sometimes, you don’t always get a chance to sit down and connect with your fellow colleagues.

Team building is an essential component in keeping morale high, establishing long-term relationships and creating alliances. However, when it comes to the office parties, it's always the same old thing – fancy dinners, the pub, etc.

So why not spruce it up and book a unique experience that will be unforgettable. Hop on board a GoBoat as this activity not only provides teamwork but also a chance to relax and take in the beautiful city views together.

Get outdoors with your colleagues

Our fleet is made up of self-driven electric boats, so it’s all hands-on deck - you have to work together as a team in order to steer and navigate the boat back to the pontoon, making it a great team-building atmosphere.

Whether you choose to appoint just one captain or you all have a go, it is a great way to gain practice in communication and leadership without any pressure. But don’t worry, it’s still relaxing. Grab a refreshing drink and some of your favourite snacks, and feel free to unwind and engage in free discussion with all your colleagues.

Eco-friendly corporate event

Sustainability is one of the main factors for every company, and GoBoat offers an eco-friendly and guilt-free way of engaging in corporate events. We are a sustainable company. Our boats are made using recycled plastic bottles, and we used sustainably sourced wood for our tables. Plus, they have fully electric motors that create zero emissions and no noise pollution.

Booking with us ensures that your company event reflects your dedication to sustainability. But also, the bonus is that you can enjoy what nature has to offer without our boats scaring off the wildlife. In addition, you don’t have to shout over a loud motor, you have the choice to listen to your favourite tunes or just enjoy the peaceful chirping of the birds.

Teamwork is essential

It does not matter how big your team is; we can accommodate all. One boat fits 8 crew members, and therefore you guys can always split off into departments, friends, people you have never met before and bond with the water around you. Whether you have a little competition with who can spot all the different landmarks on your journey or a nice picnic on the boat, your trips can be fully customisable for your company.

Unique client entertainment in London

In addition to team building, GoBoat is also a wonderful choice for hosting clients and partners. If you want to impress and show that you are the best, why not book a unique experience for them; rather than sitting in a boring meeting room, take them onto a private GoBoat for a relaxed and memorable experience. The peaceful environment is a perfect place for building business relationships.

How easy is it to book a GoBoat?

It is really easy to book a GoBoat. You pick whichever location is the most convenient for you out of Canary Wharf, Paddington, Kingston upon Thames, and Thames Ditton. Pick a date and time, and gather your colleagues, partners, and clients ready for your adventure. We have tailored packages and add-ons, such as captain’s hats, as well as refreshments.

Our team wants to make your experience as stress-free as possible, so if you have any questions or needs taken care of, we are here to help. Just relax and have a great day out with your team. Don’t forget to take a group office photo for your LinkedIn!

We offer more than just a private boat tour; we offer the chance to create long-lasting memories, build team relations, and entertain clients, all in a fun and sustainable way. So next time you are booking a restaurant for your office party, try booking something new - a GoBoat away day on the water!

From 9 to 5 to nautical vibes, turn your corporate event into an adventure!
