Team building with Team Paradise

A fun, memorable and challenging team-building sailing experience that can lead to higher performance, better collaboration and more effective problem-solving skills.

What is it?

Experience the excitement of being close to the water on a performance sailboat, competing against colleagues, racing sailboats, and having fun! We can accommodate up to 24 people for full- and half-day programs that help participants develop the teamwork necessary to handle a sailboat and compete in a safe, fun and challenging environment. People of all sailing skill levels are welcome and can participate in all activities. People with disabilities are part of our mission and are also welcome. 

Events are customizable to meet your objectives.  If it is communication or collaboration (or both), or something else to enrich your team, we will design a program to meet your needs.

What do you get out of it?

Your team will refine command and control skills, leadership, communication, cooperation and tactical thinking. Each team member will take command and guide the team through the objective. Magnus Liljedahl, Olympic gold medal sailor and Team Paradise founder and Executive Director, will share with your group what it takes to be a winning Olympian and command a winning team. His light-hearted and insightful coaching guarantees a fun and educational day of sailing. Perfect for:

Client Days - Take your clients out for an exciting day on Biscayne Bay!
