For CEO / COO

Corporate offsite for CEOs and COOs.

Strategy on the water with no logistical noise. One contact, one invoice, an NDA mode, a board-ready narrative within 72 hours of the closing dinner. For leadership teams that have no time for the country-hotel offsite.

Your headache

Four recurring scenarios from the C-suite office.

  • 01

    You have 36 hours for a strategic offsite — every minute spent on logistics, taxis and microphone setup is a minute taken from strategy.

  • 02

    The leadership team is going round the same circle: the same faces, the same offices, the same PowerPoint ritual. The decisions are lazy and inertial.

  • 03

    The board expects a clear narrative out of the strategy session — and all you have in hand is a Zoom recording and three bottles of water on the table.

  • 04

    Discretion: the topic is not yet for the market, the press or the HR chat. You need a formal NDA, a private berth and a team that knows how to stay quiet.

How we solve it

One contact. No noise. Strategy as a product.

Most strategic offsites fail on logistics: day one goes to the transfer, day two to a warm-up, and by day three everyone is tired and signs the first reasonable proposal. We re-cut the timing. The leadership team flies into one city, reaches the berth on one transfer, and within an hour is sitting at the meeting table on the flagship. Strategy starts before the coffee is poured.

Discretion is not a marketing buzzword but an engineering requirement. The crew signs an NDA before the charter is signed, the private berth is agreed in advance, there is eyeline screening when the tender comes alongside, secured Wi-Fi via a 5G MiFi with its own SIM, a climate-controlled meeting room for 12 with a 4K projector. No public area, no incidental audience. Across 247 offsites delivered, zero recorded leaks.

Out of the session you get not a 'photo report' but a document for the board: recorded decisions, action items with owners and deadlines, a slide narrative in your brand book — within 72 hours. A C-suite-level facilitator (ICF/IAF, FTSE-100 experience) runs the session, records the decisions and writes the final artefact. That is the '12 hours saved' that turns a weekend offsite into an investment with a measurable return.

What you get

Four deliverables for a C-suite offsite.

01

A dedicated operations coordinator

One contact — from the first brief to the closing dinner. English plus Russian plus the local language of the base. Available 24/7 throughout the trip, with a corporate-level escalation line.

02

A boardroom aboard the flagship

A sailing yacht with a meeting room for 12, climate control, a 4K projector, secured Wi-Fi via a 5G MiFi. Anchorage in a sheltered bay by arrangement.

03

No-noise execution

Concentric circles of access: only the right people hear the right conversations. The crew signs an NDA before the charter begins, with eyeline screening when the tender comes alongside.

04

A strategy narrative for the board

A certified C-suite-level facilitator records the decisions, frames the action items, and sends the final document in your brand book within 72 hours of the trip.

Cases

What CEO teams achieved.

9 people · 2 days · run under NDA

A public SaaS company — pre-IPO strategy session, Côte d'Azur

The CEO and 8 board members, 48 hours on the water between two board meetings. NDA mode, a private berth, a facilitator from a partner consultancy. The IPO-market decision was made on day three.

6 people · 3 days · memo signed

A family holding — succession, Sardinia

Three generations of owners, conflicting agendas, failed earlier attempts at a country castle. One of our facilitators plus one external coach — in 3 days they left with a signed memorandum.

FAQ for CEOs

What executive teams ask most often.

Can a board meeting be held on board?
Yes. The flagship yacht is fitted with a meeting room for 12, a 4K projector, climate control and secured Wi-Fi via a 5G MiFi. Mooring in a sheltered bay by arrangement, to avoid surf noise.
How is discretion ensured?
The crew signs an NDA before the charter contract is signed. There is eyeline screening when the tender comes alongside. A private berth in Cannes, the Vieux-Port, or Porto Cervo in Sardinia by arrangement. We are registered as a commercial charterer in 14 EU jurisdictions.
Who facilitates the strategy session?
From our pool of ICF/IAF-certified coaches with experience working with FTSE-100 and Eurostoxx-50 executives. Biographies and references at the brief stage. We can work alongside your external consultancy (BCG, McKinsey, Bain — there are cases).
What if the weather doesn't allow you to put to sea?
Plan B is mooring in a sheltered marina with the full set of meeting facilities. Plan C is a backup location in a boutique hotel within walking distance of the berth. There are always three layers of safety net, and the no-show cost is zero.
What is the typical final artefact?
Within 72 hours: a final document with the recorded decisions, action items with owners and deadlines, a slide narrative for the board meeting in your brand book. On request, a 3-minute video summary for the rest of the team.
