Messing about on the River

Boat team building

In this boating team building activity we aim to build relationships in a peaceful environment away from the fast pace of office life. On a canal boat, team building becomes a more relaxed affair allowing participants to spend time together in a fun and informal atmosphere.

On board, we work in small teams of three or four (where the group is larger than 12 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.

Canal boat team building activities 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

While this activity will produce great benefit on its own, we recommend a facilitator to achieve best results.
