Team Building

After the success of last year, Youth Afloat will continue to offer tailor made courses in team building and communication. We realise the difficulty many organisations and businesses have within the work-place, and so to help solve these problems, Youth Afloat has developed a series of challenges and events designed to help your team understand the values and motivation behind communication and interaction.

Completely unique and designed for your needs, our challenges can be applied during a time scale of your choice and can be outside or inside, on land or on the water.

Please contact the centre to discuss your requirements and we will be only to happy to help.

Junior Sailing and Kayaking Schemes

These courses promise to be a great way of introducing younger people to water sports while allowing them to meet new friends. Places are very limited so please book your place as soon as possible.
