Out of the office. Onto the Mediterranean.
Team Building in Barcelona
Swap the meeting room for the open sea. A private day aboard Sphynx is the team away day people actually remember — sailing together, swimming off the deck, and toasting good work with the Barcelona skyline behind you. Built around your team, your goals and your budget.
A team day they'll actually talk about
The best team building doesn't feel like team building.
Nobody comes back from a trust-fall workshop feeling closer. The days that genuinely bring a team together are the ones that don't try too hard — shared experiences, a bit of adventure, and time to actually talk away from desks and screens.
A day at sea does that effortlessly. As Sphynx leaves Marina Vela, job titles fade and conversations open up. Your team sails together, swims off the deck, and raises a glass with the Barcelona skyline behind them. A team building day on a yacht is part reward, part reset, and exactly the kind of day people remember long after the next reorganisation.
What your team gains
A day out that actually does something.
Beyond a great day, here's what your team takes back to the office on Monday.
Walls Come Down
There's no hierarchy on a boat. The intern and the director jump off the same deck — and that levelling does more for a team than any workshop.
Real Conversations
Away from screens and status meetings, people actually talk. The relationships that make teams work are built in moments exactly like these.
A Reward That Lands
After a big quarter or a hard project, a private yacht day says thank you in a way a gift card never will. People feel genuinely valued.
A Shared Story
"Remember the day on the yacht?" becomes shorthand the whole team shares. A common memory that quietly bonds people for years.
The experience
A team building day in Barcelona with no whiteboards in sight.
The team gathers at Marina Vela, a short walk from the city centre. A welcome drink, a quick hello from Captain Laurence, and you're away — the office and the inbox shrinking on the shoreline behind you.
What happens next is up to your team. Some get hands-on with the sailing, taking the helm and trimming the sails together. Others stake out the deck, swim off the back, or simply sit in the sun and finally have the conversations there's never time for at work. A corporate yacht day in Barcelona flexes to whatever your group needs — high-energy and active, or relaxed and social.
Along the way there's cava, food and the kind of easy atmosphere that no meeting room ever produces. By the time you head back in, something has shifted: people who only knew each other through Slack have spent a real day together, and the team feels different for it.
Whether it's a department offsite, an incentive for hitting target, a project celebration or a welcome for new joiners, we build the day around your team, your goals and your budget — and handle every detail so you can simply turn up and enjoy it with everyone else.
Shape the day
One yacht, many kinds of day.
Tell us the goal and we'll build the day to match. A starting point — every day is tailored to your team.
Hands-On Sailing
Get the team working the boat together — taking the helm, trimming sails, reading the wind. Shared effort, shared result, a natural ice-breaker.
Swim & Social
Anchor in a quiet cove for swimming, sunbathing and easy conversation. The relaxed format — for teams who just need time together off the clock.
The Celebration
Cava, food and a sunset toast to mark a launch, a milestone or a great year. Turn a result into a moment the team genuinely feels.
The Incentive Reward
Top performers, key clients or a standout team — a private day at sea is a reward that says far more than its line on a budget.
The yacht & the logistics
Everything handled, so you can switch off too.
Sphynx is a Comar Comet 52 — a 52-foot Italian sailing yacht that hosts up to 11 guests in comfort, with a wide deck, three cabins and two bathrooms. Got a bigger team? We coordinate multiple departures or additional boats so everyone's included on the same day.
- Up to 11 per yacht — larger teams coordinated across boats.

- Proper invoicing for your finance team, with everything itemised.
