Are you ready for a team building regatta in Lisbon?
This team building regatta in Lisbon is an ideal and fun team building event for all types of companies. It motivates the employees and encourages communication and teamwork. It’s challenging but everyone can enjoy regardless of the fitness level. The team building regatta in Lisbon is suitable for groups of any size. We recommend having maximum 8 participants in each boat for a demanding and fun challenge.
During the event, we want all participants to practice sailing and learn how to perform all the different functions within the boat. During the time on board participants will rotate between the 4 main functions on board the sailing boat during navigation. These functions are:
- Rudder; Governs the boat to the defined course. A person in the role.
- Large Sail; Trimimg of the big candle. Determines the position of the sail relative to the wind and boat. A person in the role.
- Sail Genoa; Triming of sail Genoa. Determines the position of the sail relative to the wind and boat. Two people in function.
- Navigation; Determines the current position and the direction to be taken for a given position. A person in the role.
These boats allow an extremely radical experience where fun and adrenaline are guaranteed. With a maximum capacity of 8 people per boat, the recommended capacity is 6 participants plus skipper and sailor. The group will be divided into smaller groups that will leave Belém on two, three or four (or more) sailboats.
The route is determined on the day of the event according to the wind, currents, and tidal conditions. Typically, we sail towards the city centre (Cais das Colunas), passing several of Lisbon’s iconic landmarks, including Cristo Rei, the 25 de Abril Bridge, the Monument to the Discoveries, and the Belém Tower.
Please prepare the group by splitting them into multiple teams. Upon arrival, participants will board their sailing boats by informing the crew of their team name and team captain. A sailing briefing will then be given before departure.
The goal is for everyone to take the helm, enjoy the sailing experience, capture memorable photos, and complete a quiz about the city of Lisbon introduced during the briefing. Reaching the finish line first does not guarantee victory—the winning team is the one that successfully completes all the required checkpoints.
This team building regatta in Lisbon starts and ends at Doca do Bom Sucesso in Belém (near Belem Tower), and during the regatta we will sail between Belem Tower and 25th April Bridge on the Tagus river, but it may change depending on the weather conditions.

FAQ about the Teambuilding Regatta in Lisbon
A regatta is a sailing competition between boats. In a team-building regatta, participants work together aboard sailing boats, guided by professional skippers, to steer the boat, complete fun challenges and quizzes, and enjoy a friendly competition on the water. Speed alone doesn’t determine the winner—teamwork is just as important.
Please wear comfortable clothes and prepare according to the weather. A cap that does not fly with strong winds, sun screen and a wind breaker might be a good idea 😉 Other than that, while-soled shoes would be our preference, if possible, to not mark the boat.
Each boat holds one team with 3 to 8 participants.
The regatta works best with at least three boats, so 9 participants is the minimum.
The regatta includes one drink per person. Feel free to bring you own water bottle and you might want to grab a snack and drink after, at the dock.
Yes! No sailing experience or high fitness level is required. Professional skippers guide each boat, and participants can be as active or relaxed as they wish, making the regatta suitable for all fitness levels.
