Guide

Corporate retreat locations
along one global route.

Most corporate retreat locations are a choice between hotels and conference resorts. This one is a route: a Lagoon Eigthy2 expedition catamaran sailing a five-year passage around the world, with 187+ destinations and more than 42,000 nautical miles between them.

You pick the region and the dates that suit your calendar. Your team of 10–12 steps on board wherever the yacht is at that moment, and NAORA runs crew, chef, navigation and logistics for the week.

Regions

Eleven regions, one continuous passage

Each region is approached at the right moment of the year, following seasons, trade winds and weather windows. The seasons below indicate when a region is typically available for a corporate week.

01

Mediterranean

Late spring to early autumn

Balearics, Corsica, Sardinia and the Greek islands. Short flights from most European headquarters, warm evenings and quiet anchorages within easy reach of a city airport — the simplest starting point for a first corporate retreat at sea.

02

Atlantic Islands

Autumn

Madeira, the Canaries and Cape Verde. Volcanic coastlines, long ocean horizons and reliable weather when the Mediterranean season closes. A strong option for an end-of-year reward week.

03

Caribbean

Winter

The Grenadines, the Leeward and Windward Islands and the Bahamas. Short hops between islands, protected water for swimming and diving, and the classic winter escape for teams flying from Europe or North America.

04

Panama

Late winter

The San Blas archipelago and the Panama Canal transit. A rare, genuinely memorable passage — few corporate programmes can offer a canal crossing as part of the week.

05

South Pacific

Spring to summer

French Polynesia, the Tuamotus, Tonga and Fiji. Lagoons, atolls and distances that make the week feel entirely removed from the office. Suited to longer programmes given the travel time.

06

Indonesia

Summer

Raja Ampat, Komodo and the Banda Sea. Some of the richest diving on the planet, reachable only by boat, with anchorages that no hotel can replicate.

07

Southeast Asia

Late summer to autumn

Thailand, Malaysia and the Andaman Sea. Limestone islands, calm water and convenient regional hubs for teams based in Singapore, Hong Kong or the Gulf.

08

Indian Ocean

Autumn

The Maldives, Seychelles and Chagos. Clear water, atolls and long stretches of open sea between them. A natural fit for small executive groups and board-level off-sites.

09

Africa

Winter

The East African coast, Zanzibar and the Mozambique Channel. Culture and coastline in the same week, with the option to combine the retreat with a land-based programme.

10

Red Sea

Spring

Sudanese and Egyptian reefs, and the passage north towards Suez. Exceptional diving and a quiet route back towards Europe.

11

Mediterranean Return

Late spring

The route closes where it began. Familiar cruising grounds, with the added weight of a yacht that has sailed around the world in the meantime.

Moving venue

Why a route beats
a single address.

The venue moves

A hotel is one place for the whole week. Here the location changes daily — a different bay, island or anchorage each morning, without anyone repacking a suitcase.

One group on board

No other guests, no conference floor next door, no lobby. The yacht is private to your group of 10–12 for the full week.

Access beyond the road network

Many of the best anchorages along the route have no hotel, no airstrip and no crowd. They are reachable only by boat.

One all-in arrangement

Accommodation, crew, chef, navigation, meals and logistics sit in one budget line instead of a dozen supplier invoices.
