Corporate Charters
Corporate days afloat provide the perfect platform to entertain guests or clients or to reward staff loyalty. It is an ideal situation to relax and enjoy the scenery and wildlife if you need just the 'chill' factor. Outdoor activities have long been recognised as an ideal medium for team building, staff motivation and leadership training. Sailing offers all these opportunities. For something more challenging we can tailor a package to task the adventurous! Maritime Connection's corporate packages are generally either a single day or a weekend in duration. A single day charter would usually begin around 9am with coffee followed by a safety briefing before setting sail. Of course, the weather governs the decision about where to go, but one of the wonderful features of the Firth of Clyde is the fact that there are so many potential destinations that it really doesn't matter which way the wind is blowing, it will always be an ideal breeze for one of the ports of call.
Family Sailing
This is a low cost course for families wishing to learn or improve their sailing skills. The courses can be run at differing levels of competence to suit the individuals concerned. Families have exclusive use of the yacht and our Instructor at a price that is not too hard on the pocket. Children have great fun learning to tie knots, helm for a while or do some sail work. On our family days there's something for everyone.
