The story
Many of our corporate clients have been with us since our very first day and Sadokas is one of them. During our long and productive cooperation we have arranged not only mandatory business trips for them, but also several teambuilding events and trips. The annual meeting of several offices normally took place in Finland but this time the client chose to go sailing in Saint-Petersburg.
The beauty of our city and its surroundings is as stunning as the nature in Finland. And as on the previous routes we’ve used water transport before, we decided to stay close to the water again. Especially because we have got a new partner for renting yachts.
Our customers are active, curious and friendly people, who enjoy team games. That’s why they loved our suggestion to arrange a regatta in a slightly competitive form. We chose two yachts and filled the holds with food supplies. The captains assigned the duties to “the sailors” and after a relaxed photoshoot the teams started the journey towards Fort Konstantin of Kronstadt, to conquer the waters of the Gulf of Finland. The wind was in our favour and although the sun kept hiding behind the clouds now and then, it didn’t stop our experienced captains from delivering the teams to their port right on time. The teams landed on the shore of the Fort, announced the results of the race and went on to honour the winners during the lunch at the fort cafe.
The sporty part of the teambuilding trip segued into a relaxed one – we decided to organize a festive dinner and an overnight stay at Gorki Golf & Resort, which has just opened its doors to the guests. Since the company has strong ties with Finland, we decided to support this bond with the Scandinavian hospitality and comfort of this resort hotel. After recharging at dinner our customers were able to discuss work matters, as we also took care of the privacy while booking tables for this group. Everyone went to bed being pleased with the day and the results of the sales season.
After a healthy and energizing breakfast everyone gathered for a golf masterclass: many have heard of this sport, but only a few have tried it.

It was interesting to try such an intelligent sport, which can be quite challenging when you compete. A gift certificate for a weekend in the golf club went to the company’s new employee – beginners’ luck indeed!

This was an intense, but comfortable corporate trip with a short way home, while the participants still felt like they’ve had a little adventure.
We should note that due to the team spirit of the participants and punctuality of our partners, the whole program was completed successfully and, most importantly, with a lot of pleasure!
