The Catharina van Mijdrecht is an authentic, traditional sailing ship with a rich maritime history. Her classic appearance, spacious deck, and comfortable interior provide a warm and inviting atmosphere for corporate events. This makes the ship ideal for both active sailing experiences and relaxed moments with your team, in any season.

A teambuilding day trip on the IJsselmeer is much more than a company outing. Sailing naturally encourages teamwork. Hoisting the sails, navigating the course, and responding to the wind all require clear communication, trust, and cooperation. Every participant plays an active role, regardless of job title or position.

Guided by an experienced skipper and crew, your team will discover—hands on—how leadership, alignment, and flexibility lead to success. The result is a stronger team dynamic and renewed energy that continues long after you return to shore.

The vast openness of the IJsselmeer offers space to breathe, reflect, and connect. The sound of the wind in the sails, the rhythm of the water, and the wide horizon create a calm yet energizing environment where conversations flow naturally and ideas begin to grow.

Your day trip can be fully customized and may include:
✔ Active sailing and hands-on teamwork
✔ Team building challenges on board
✔ Informal meetings or strategy sessions
✔ A shared lunch or drinks on deck
✔ Time to relax and enjoy the sailing experience

Whether your goal is to strengthen collaboration, celebrate achievements, or welcome new colleagues, a team building day trip aboard the Catharina van Mijdrecht can be tailored to your needs. The ship is perfectly suited for small to medium-sized teams and offers a safe, inclusive environment where everyone feels involved.
