Team Building & Outdoor Camps in Phuket & Krabi

Bring your group together, get outdoors, and discover what you can achieve when everyone works as a team.

Java Yachting creates practical team-building experiences, camps, and group activity programmes in Phuket and Krabi, Thailand, using sailing, kayaking, and water-based challenges to encourage communication, cooperation, leadership, and confidence.

Engaging, experience-led programmes designed to build teamwork, leadership and confidence through sailing and outdoor adventure.

We develop programmes for companies, international schools, organisations, and private groups, with activities adapted to participants’ age, experience, and objectives.

From a single activity session to a multi-day residential camp, we emphasise participation, shared experiences and, importantly, having fun together.

Our locations at Koh Lon Island, Phuket, and Krabi Boat Lagoon, Krabi, provide two distinctive environments for group programmes. Facilities include accommodation, meeting areas, activity spaces, and water access, allowing us to combine outdoor challenges with workshops, meetings, group discussions, dinners, and social activities.

Sailing and kayaking form an important part of our activities, while our four dragon boats introduce another exciting dimension. Dragon boat challenges require crews to communicate, coordinate and work together, making them particularly effective for team-building competitions and corporate events.

What we can offer:

– Pulse 600 training and mini regatta – 16 pax

– Kayaking and SUP adventures – 50 pax

– Large meeting room for large dinners and corporate events

– Catering/refreshments can be provided for all events.

As safety is our top priority, all yachts and events are operated to the highest standards for safety equipment and protocols and are appropriately insured.

Each participant will receive a lifejacket before taking part in any on-water activity. 

Each yacht is fitted with fire extinguishers, first aid, VHF radios, flares, and all necessary safety equipment.

At Java Yachting, we deliver dynamic team-building programmes and outdoor camps that go far beyond traditional classroom learning.

Using sailing, kayaking and coastal exploration as our platform, we create real-world experiences that challenge individuals, strengthen teams and build lasting confidence.

Our programmes are tailored for both corporate groups and schools, with flexible formats to suit different objectives, group sizes and durations.
