Why the sea

Why a team building event in Marseille at sea?

A team building event in Marseille at sea guarantees a day your teams will talk about for a long time. On a boat, everyone has a role: steering, trimming a sail, spotting the next buoy. Hierarchies fade away, people communicate, help each other and laugh a lot. That is why team building at sea leaves a far more lasting impression than a day in a meeting room.

Since 2018, LOCVOILIER has organised team bonding days, seminars and company retreats departing from Port Corbières, in Marseille. With our fleet and our partners in the region, we take care of everything: boats, skippers, games, meals, photos and logistics.

Our boats

The fleet for your team building in Marseille

For a small management committee as well as a whole company, we put together the right fleet for your group.

Modern sailboats

From 2 to 12 people per boat. The ideal choice for a regatta: each team steers, trims the sails and experiences the race from the inside, with a professional skipper on board.

Catamarans

From 2 to 16 people, with the IA Orana catamaran. Large spaces, stability and a big cockpit table: perfect for a seminar on board or lunch at anchor.

Classic sailboats

From 10 to 30 people on Andale, Hygie or Belle Aventure, exceptional sailboats from 1929 to 1964. To impress your guests and offer an extraordinary outing.

RIBs

From 2 to 10 people. Fast and manoeuvrable, they serve as a support boat, a shuttle between boats or for the towed ring and short trips.

Several boats together

Above 16 people, several boats set off as a flotilla and meet up at anchor. That is what makes regattas and rallies possible for up to 100 participants.

Everything is included

Professional skipper, fuel, paddleboard, life jackets, taxes and access to the private port of Port Corbières with parking. All you need to bring is your team and your good mood.

Depending on your objectives

Which team building in Marseille for your team?

Every company comes with a different intention. We build the programme around yours.

Bonding a team

A newly formed team, departments that rarely work together: the regatta and the sea rally force people to communicate, share out roles and decide quickly. Nothing better for building lasting bonds.

Welcoming newcomers

After a recruitment drive or at the start of the year, a half day of paddleboard and kayak challenges puts everyone on the same level. Newcomers leave knowing their colleagues by their first names.

Celebrating a success

A target reached, a great year, a project delivered: a day at sea with lunch at anchor and drinks on the way back is a reward everyone appreciates, from the intern to the management.

Thinking differently

A management committee or a project team works better away from the office. A meeting in the morning on board the catamaran, the sea in the afternoon: ideas flow more freely offshore.

Thanking your clients

Team building in Marseille is not just for employees. Invite your clients or partners on a private boat trip: a unique relationship moment, far from the usual trade fairs and restaurants.

Preparing a seminar

For a two or three-day seminar, the sea becomes the highlight of the programme. We also coordinate venues, hotels and transfers with our partners.

What sets us apart

A sea specialist, not just another agency

Many agencies offer team building in Marseille at sea by hiring other people’s boats. At LOCVOILIER, the boats and the skippers are our own. We know every cove, every shelter when the mistral blows, and we adapt the programme on the day if the weather requires it.

Our home port, Port Corbières, is a private port north of Marseille: parking for cars and coaches, easy access from the motorway and Saint-Charles station, and no crowds on the quays. The whole fleet is tracked in real time and our skippers follow a strict safety protocol.

For trips in the calanques, we follow the rules of the Calanques National Park: anchoring away from posidonia seagrass, no rubbish, no feeding the fish. Responsible team building that your teams can be proud of.

FAQ

Team building in Marseille: your questions

How much does team building at sea in Marseille cost?

Allow from €69 per person for a half day of paddleboard and kayak challenges, €79 for the sea rally at the Frioul, €95 for a team bonding day and €120 for a regatta between sailboats. The caterer’s lunch is optional. We send you a detailed quote within 24 hours.

How many people can you welcome?

From 8 to 100 people. For a large group, several boats from our fleet set off together, each with its own skipper, and meet up at anchor for the challenges and lunch.

Do we need to know how to sail or swim?

No. Professional skippers sail the boats and show the manoeuvres to those who want to take part. Water activities are always optional, with life jackets and equipment provided.

Where do the boats leave from?

From Port Corbières, in L’Estaque, north of Marseille: a private port with parking, easy to reach by car or coach. A departure from Cassis or La Ciotat is possible with a supplement.

What happens if the weather is bad?

The skipper checks the marine weather the day before and in the morning. In strong wind, we choose sheltered waters or adapt the programme. If the sea is dangerous, the trip is postponed to another date.

Can we organise a seminar with a session in a meeting room?

Yes. The meeting can be held on board the catamaran or in a partner venue, with the sea in the afternoon. We also arrange accommodation, meals and transfers for a seminar of 1 to 3 days.

Do you offer activities on land?

Yes, with our partners: hiking along the customs officers’ path on the Côte Bleue, cycle rides, a stopover at the Frioul port or at Île Verte. We combine land and sea as you wish.

Is lunch included?

It is optional. Our partner caterer offers menus from €35 to €75 per person, drinks included, served on board or on a beach. You can also bring your own meal.

How far in advance should I book?

For a group of more than 30 people, or in June and September, book at least a month ahead. For small groups, a few days are often enough off season.

What are the best team building ideas in Marseille?

Activities at sea are the most popular: a regatta between sailboats, a sea rally at the Frioul, paddleboard and kayak challenges, or simply a day of sailing with swimming and lunch at anchor. They can be combined with activities on land such as hiking on the Côte Bleue.

What is the best season for team building at sea?

From May to October for swimming and water activities. In spring and autumn, the sea is calmer, prices are lower and the calanques are quieter. In winter, a regatta or a sunset trip is still possible.

Do you organise team building in English?

Yes. Our skippers and organisers regularly welcome international teams: briefings, games and safety instructions can be given in English.

How much does team building at sea for 50 people cost?

For 50 people, allow four to five boats in a flotilla. A team bonding day then costs from €95 per person, excluding lunch, and the sea rally at the Frioul from €79 per person. The quote specifies the number of boats, the activities and the extras chosen.

Do you issue an invoice in the company’s name?

Yes. You receive a quote, then an invoice in your company’s name, with a single point of contact for the whole programme: boats, activities, catering and partners.
