Sail Away on a Great Group Adventure
CHARTER THE SCHOONER ZODIAC FOR YOUR CONFERENCE OR RETREAT
With salty sea breezes propelling the classic 1920’s windjammer schooner though the Salish Sea, a voyage on the Schooner Zodiac will be the highlight of your conference or retreat. Sailing out of Bellingham, Washington, the Zodiac offers groups a variety of trips from a short afternoon sail to an overnight cruise.
The roomy 127-foot varnished mahogany deck, gleaming with polished brass trim, comfortably accommodates 49 passengers on a day sail for an active morning or afternoon of team building and adventure. To begin the journey, everyone on board works together to hoist the 4,000 square-foot mainsail, and the ship is ready to sail. Your group members will break into teams for instruction and then work side-by-side with the Zodiac’s crew as they maneuver the sails. The participants will experience first-hand the communication and coordination that are essential to success.
After the sailing exercise, the group can adjourn below deck to the Main Salon for a seminar or presentation. An on-deck sunset reception can be the fitting climax to an exciting day at sea. Whether it is a short two-hour trip or an all-day adventure, the agenda will be customized to meet your needs.
Depending on the group’s desires, the Zodiac also offers tailor-made recreational charter trips. Spend a full day sailing through the San Juan Islands or take a short trip to a secluded inlet for a picnic lunch. You can add a sailing instruction session or simply enjoy the voyage. The Zodiac is also available for overnight cruises. With luxury accommodations for up to 26 passengers, the customizable itinerary can include shore visits, wildlife viewing, kayaking or winery and brewery tours.
A Schooner Zodiac adventure is only one of the reasons that Bellingham is worth considering for a conference, retreat or special event. Bellingham offers a variety of meeting facilities, an abundance of lodging and a wealth of shopping and entertainment in a scenic location less than two hours from Seattle.
