The Unplugged Off-Site: the strategy meeting out of the boardroom
An off-site usually means flying to a hotel, booking a room with a projector, and repeating the same meeting format somewhere else. The Unplugged Off-Site starts from a different idea: if you are going to take the team out of the office, take it out for real. The morning is set aside for the strategy session, on deck, with no desk distractions; the afternoon is left free for the team; and the day closes with a dinner built on local farm produce, with no agenda left.

How the day is structured
We leave port early with the leadership team or the full department. The working session takes up the morning while we sail toward a quiet cove; we make sure the boat is anchored and steady by the time it is presentation or decision time. From midday, the boat is free for swimming, eating, and genuinely switching off.
Dinner is served on board or at a stop we arrange, built around Juntos Farm produce. Phones tend to stay off the table out of habit rather than rule: when the day has gone well, nobody misses them.
Who it works for
This is the format we recommend when the real goal is a team decision — a roadmap, a launch, a restructuring — not just "doing something different". It works with teams of 6 to 25 people, depending on the boat, and needs no external facilitator: the agenda is set by the company itself.
Frequently asked questions
Do we need to hire a separate facilitator?
No. The format is designed for the company itself to run the strategy session; we take care of navigation, anchoring and the logistics of the day.
How many people is it designed for?
Between 6 and 25, depending on the boat. For larger teams, ask about fleet availability.
