A unique experience in a unique environment. The canal network spans the UK through large cities and beautiful countryside. Why not exchange the board room for a boat.
Slow down and relax with your colleagues on a canal boat. Relationships grow stronger far away from fast paced office life. Team activities can range from the physical challenges of boat handling and navigating locks to cooking with limited resources or completing treasure hunts inspired by the surroundings.
