Are you looking for an activity that combines sports, adventure, exploration, and ecology? Dragon boating—in boats that can accommodate up to 20 people—is the perfect experience and a great way to build team spirit.

What is a dragon boat?

A true boat, steered by a coxswain, the dragon boat features a dragon’s head. Two rows of 10 seats accommodate the paddlers. The drummer, seated facing the crew, uses a drum to set the rhythm and help his teammates coordinate their efforts. A truly popular sport in China, it embodies the values of unity, coordination, and teamwork. It’s an ideal sport for fostering team spirit and pushing oneself to new heights: the perfect team-building activity for your corporate groups.

Team-Building Challenge

Teams compete in a race that will take them to Milan’s Darsena harbor. During this event, your employees will be “in the same boat” and will need to demonstrate teamwork to win the race. Motivation and coordination will also be key to securing victory!

A team of experienced professionals oversees the activity and creates a truly competitive atmosphere, with drums setting the pace and flags fluttering on the boats. You can arrange for lunch, an aperitif, or a simple treat—such as Italian ice cream—at the end of the activity.
