Corporate Team Building on the Water
Bring your team out of the office and onto Oyster Bay for a hands on experience that builds communication, trust, adaptability, and connection.
Why it works
A better kind of team outing
Sailing naturally brings people together. It asks teams to pay attention, communicate clearly, adapt to changing conditions, and support one another. At The WaterFront Center, your group can experience that energy aboard the historic oyster sloop CHRISTEEN, the replica oyster dredge IDA MAY, or our Sonars.
Choose your experience
Each vessel offers a different feel. We can help match the experience to your goals, group size, and energy level.
CHRISTEEN
Ideal for a signature team experience with a strong sense of history, place, and collaboration. Guests can participate in sailing activities while enjoying one of Oyster Bay’s most iconic vessels.
IDA MAY
A standout platform for groups that want a hands on maritime experience with room for conversation, shared discovery, and a connection to Oyster Bay’s working waterfront history.
Sonars
Perfect for active team building. Smaller crews create more opportunities for communication, quick decision making, role rotation, and friendly on the water challenges.
