Are there fixed sailing routes?

Our sailing trips are flexible and we enjoy complete freedom in planning the trip. As a rule, we discuss the rough route with you on the first evening. Depending on wind, weather and the seaworthiness of the crew, we then decide on the final route.

This flexibility allows us to make spontaneous decisions and take advantage of the best places and conditions on the water. So you can look forward to a personalised and unforgettable sailing experience!

What is the difference between team development and team building?

Team development cruise: Particularly suitable for new teams or teams that are just forming in order to build long-term trust and cooperation. The focus is on getting to know each other, networking and creating a solid basis for future collaboration.
Team building cruise: Ideal for existing teams who want to optimise their teamwork and collaboration in a short space of time. The aim here is to improve existing structures, make quick decisions and strengthen team cohesion in a short, intensive phase.

Do I or someone in my team need to be able to dive?

No, that is not necessary. We only work with experienced diving instructors.
You will start with them on a trial dive and then progress step by step.

What health aspect do we need to pay particular attention to when it comes to diving?

Diving places an unusual strain on the body, as the pressure in the water increases with depth.
For this reason, it is important that you refrain from diving if you have certain health impairments.
If someone in your team has cardiovascular problems or asthma, we strongly recommend that you contact your doctor and request a Certificate of fitness to dive can be issued.
If you have general questions about your health, it is also advisable to consult your doctor to be on the safe side.

 

Where do we get the diving equipment?

You can get this from the dive centre. You therefore do not need any diving equipment in advance.

What is coaching and how does it work?

Coaching is an individualised process aimed at achieving personal and professional goals. At Säil, we support you in gaining clarity about your challenges and developing strategies for action. During our sessions, we work together to identify your strengths and guide you on your path to personal development.

Who is coaching suitable for?

Coaching is suitable for anyone who wants to improve their skills and achieve personal or professional goals. Whether you are a manager, employee or entrepreneur - our coaching helps you to gain new perspectives, master challenges and realise your full potential. Many of our clients come to us with issues such as team dynamics, communication or personal development.

How long does a coaching process take?

The duration of a coaching process varies depending on your individual goals and needs. As a rule, we recommend at least three to five sessions to achieve lasting results. Each session lasts around 60 minutes and can take place either in person or online. Together we will customise the process to your specific requirements.

What can I expect from coaching?

You can expect coaching to help you gain clarity about your goals and challenges. We support you in recognising your strengths and developing concrete steps to achieve your goals. Coaching offers you a safe space for personal reflection and promotes your development into a more effective and self-confident person.

How does coaching differ from therapy?

Coaching differs fundamentally from therapy, as it focuses on achieving specific goals and personal development. While therapy often looks to the past to treat emotional problems, coaching focuses on the future and helps you to proactively tackle challenges. For serious mental health issues, we recommend consulting a qualified therapist.

How can I take advantage of coaching with you?

To take advantage of coaching with us, you can simply contact us. We will arrange an initial non-binding meeting to discuss your goals and expectations. We will then create a personalised coaching plan together that is tailored to your specific needs.
