How Boating Helps Achieve Balance
Between Work and Play
A life lived well is all about balance.
One of the best kept secrets, or perhaps most closely guarded treasures, is a successful balance between high level achievement and deeply satisfying down time.
Many business deals aren’t made anywhere near an office. The most obvious place that may come to mind might be the golf course. But there is a less obvious and a more intriguing next level option, with a wide range of additional benefits you may have never considered.
Add in the benefits of improved health, with entertainment and vacation opportunities that being on the water offers, and the perfect center of this lovely Venn diagram is a boat.
Not just any boat, but a symbol of prestige and the quiet but definitive announcement at large of “having arrived” is a Schaefer yacht.
There are so many unique opportunities and activities a yacht can offer depending on size and features. From water sports like wakeboarding or water skiing, swimming, fishing or a day or weekend visiting interesting ports of call. Consider touring a Niagara area winery, art displays, an antiques tour or a live air show. Having dinner at a waterside restaurant, or socializing on the dock with other boaters are just of the many unique activities boating provides, all from the comfort of a luxurious yacht.
- A remote workspace with all the necessary office amenities and connectivity
- A convenient write off for taxes.
- A company incentive for high-performing team members – winning a day or weekend on the water, crewed or un-crewed.
- Team building, product launches, milestone events for staff.
- Recruiting desirable new staff.
- Overnight accommodation for visiting clients.
- Fresh air, negative ions (these are the good kind!)
- Sunshine – increased levels of Vitamin D, serotonin, dopamine, and oxytocin; decreased levels of cortisol.
- Boosts our immune system.
- Recharging on all levels.
- Creativity is increased.
- Relationship building with loved ones – because life is not just all about business!
- Building, making, and sharing new memories.
- Re-connecting with something much larger than oneself.
- Resetting our natural internal rhythms, like our circadian rhythm and the Earth’s Schumann Resonance.
- The negative ions on the water offset positive ions (static smog) and EMF emissions from the electronics that make up so much of our lives.
With such a powerful list of benefits and opportunities it’s no wonder that more and more people are getting on board with this wonderful experience.
There is the art of ‘closing the deal’, the art of leisure, and of course living a life of fullness and contentment with friends and family. Whether you see a yacht’s potential as a strategic vehicle for corporate growth and influence, the ultimate in luxury recreation, or a healthy family affair, or all three, we have the solution for your lifestyle.
