Canal boat team building – Messing about on the river

In this canal boat team building activity we aim to build relationships in a peaceful environment away from the fast pace of office life.

On board a canal boat, we work in small teams of three or four (where the group is larger than 10 people, participants will be split across two or more vessels) on a range of navigational, mental and fun exercises. Teams can also compete competitively against each other, with prizes for the winning team.  On a river boat, team building becomes a more relaxed affair allowing participants to spend time together in a fun and informal atmosphere

Canal boat team building activities can include navigating locks, boat handling, refurbishment of narrow boat, commentary on surrounding area, cooking and serving meals with limited resources, photographing, writing and producing a tourist guide on board; a treasure hunt challenge en route.

“The event did exactly what was required – bonded the team and improved relationships and understanding. The treasure hunt offered something for everyone; as a result there is more communication and more discussion between groups than before. Thank you – your professionalism, support, enthusiasm and your ability to book good weather also made for a superb event!”
