Networking Business today means more than just exchanging business cards. It's about trusting relationships, mutual understanding and joint projects. A sailing event offers the perfect setting to connect entrepreneurs, managers and teams from different departments or companies in a completely new way - away from meeting rooms, trade fairs and digital calls.

Why sailing is perfect for networking

Sailing is teamwork. Every move counts, communication is crucial - and this quickly creates a special closeness between the participants. Unlike traditional business events, hierarchical boundaries disappear here: The managing director may be at the helm while the trainee sets the sails. This shared experience at eye level is an ideal basis for lasting business contacts.

Formats: For entrepreneurs & internal teams

• Entrepreneur events: Various companies come together, exchange ideas and forge new collaborations - accompanied by experience-orientated sailing.
• Cross-divisional networking: Departments of a company that are otherwise rarely in contact work side by side here - and build understanding for each other.
• Management rounds: Strategic discussions in a relaxed atmosphere, combined with impulses for cooperation.

Advantages over traditional networking events

Organisation of a networking sailing event

A typical day starts with a welcome in the harbour and a short briefing. Afterwards, we set off together on the sailing boat (ideal for 5-7 people), where tasks are assigned: from steering to setting sail. On the way, there are themed discussion rounds or small team tasks to encourage dialogue. Breaks for swimming, taking photos or simply for good conversation round off the day.

Tips for sustainable networking

1. Be open: Take the opportunity to talk to people you don't know yet.
2. Show interest: Ask questions, listen actively - genuine interest builds trust.
3. Don't forget to follow up: Keep in touch after the event, e.g. via LinkedIn or a personal appointment.

Conclusion & Invitation

A sailing event is more than just a nice day on the water: it is an investment in sustainable relationships, better co-operation and new business opportunities. If you networking business want to rethink, sailing is the perfect framework for this.
