Historical sailing ship
You can rent a space for your meeting somewhere in a hotel, restaurant, or business park, but that doesn’t compare to the experience a historical sailing ship can offer to you and your guests. A few hours of getting away from it all, together with your clients. This is possible on the Catharina van Mijdrecht. She is a comfortable and stable ship that will take everyone into a completely different setting.

Business Relations
Sailing with clients can be a good way to get to know their needs better. Doing business also often involves some give and take. We find that small-scale sailing trips, in particular, can improve the relationship with your client and lead to a growth in your turnover.

A change of mindset
Having a business meeting on a traditional sailing ship instantly changes the tone of the conversation. The familiar patterns of office life fall away as soon as the gangway is lifted, and replaced by a shared sense of purpose and possibility. This isn’t just a change of scenery—it’s a change of mindset.

A sailing ship demands presence. With the horizon stretching out in every direction and the rhythm of the sea beneath your feet, distractions fade and focus sharpens. Discussions become more honest, more engaged. People listen differently when they’re standing together on deck, removed from screens and routines, grounded in the moment.

The environment naturally reinforces collaboration. A ship only moves forward when everyone understands the direction to move in, and works together to maintain it. That shared reality makes strategic conversations clearer and more concrete. Goals feel less abstract when they’re mirrored by a vessel that quite literally stays on course through collective effort.

Perhaps most valuable is the human connection. On board, hierarchies soften. Conversations continue between agenda items, sparked by fresh air and shared experience. Trust builds more quickly, and ideas can surface that might never emerge around a boardroom table.

A company meeting on the water turns time spent talking into time well-invested. It leaves the team aligned, energized, and with a renewed sense of direction, long after its members have returned to shore.
