Corporate Sailing

On Wally Vantanera. For leadership teams that need space, not survival.

Not every team needs to be tested. Some need to breathe.

Vantanera is a 30,6-meter Wally Yacht — all carbon, all elegance, designed by German Frers and built to move through the water like nothing else her size. She's not an endurance exercise. She's a setting. And for a leadership team, a board, or a senior group that needs real conversation without the noise of the office, she's hard to beat.

The format is simple: day sails along the coast — morning departure, lunch at anchor in a bay your navigator chose because the light is right and the water is clear. An afternoon under sail. Dinner ashore or on board, your call. One overnight passage if the group wants it — enough to feel the shift from daytime sailing to something quieter and more honest, without the full offshore commitment.

What changes isn't the dynamic under pressure. What changes is the quality of attention. No screens. No agendas bleeding into each other. No one checking their phone under the table. People talk differently when they're sitting in a cockpit watching the sun drop behind an island. They listen differently, too.

We've hosted leadership offsites where the breakthroughs happened between the sessions — in the moments nobody planned. That's what Vantanera creates. Not a programme. A space where the right conversations find their own way to the surface.

Duration: 2 to 4 days. Mediterranean coastal routes — Sardinia, the Balearics, the Greek islands, the Côte d'Azur. Up to 8 guests. Full professional crew, chef on board. No sailing experience required.

On Wally Vantanera or VO65 Sisi. For the conversations that can't be rushed.

Some decisions shouldn't be made in an hour. Some relationships need more than a handshake and a follow-up email. Some conversations only happen when you give them space — real space, not a longer meeting slot.

The Extended Meeting is Kora's format for exactly that. A board that needs to align on a direction without the pressure of an agenda that ends at 5pm. A founder getting to know a potential partner — not across a table, but across three days and a thousand nautical miles. An investor who wants to understand who they're backing, not just what.

The setting does the work. There's no phone signal for most of the passage. No emails pulling attention. No polite exits. Just the sea, the rhythm of the watches, shared meals in the cockpit, and the kind of unhurried time that lets conversations go where they need to go.

We've hosted negotiations that needed neutral ground. Succession conversations that needed distance from the office. Partnership discussions where both sides needed to see how the other handles pressure, boredom, and decisions made without a safety net.

This isn't about making sailing a metaphor for business. It's about creating the conditions where real understanding becomes inevitable.

Duration: 2 to 7 days. Yacht and route selected based on the nature of the meeting and the participants. Fully crewed, fully discreet. No documentation, no content creation — what happens on board stays on board.

Kora's hospitality format places your key accounts and business partners aboard Vantanera during the most prestigious regattas on the circuit — the Giorgio Armani Superyacht Regatta at the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda, the Superyacht Cup in Palma, or the racing calendar in Antigua and the Aegean. They don't just watch from the dock. They sail. They race. They experience the event from the inside.

Ashore, it's cocktails at yacht clubs that don't accept walk-ins. It's dinners with crews and owners from the international sailing circuit. It's an environment that creates the kind of connection no golf day or corporate box ever will — because your guests aren't spectators. They're part of it.

Format: 2 to 5 days around a specific regatta. Fully crewed, fully catered. On-board capacity for up to 8 guests. Shoreside programme tailored to your objectives — from intimate dinners to larger hosted events.
