Corporate Family Business Event Ideas on San Diego Bay with fun activities for spouses and kids
Our families are the support system that helps us stay afloat both at work and in life. Starting from this foundation, we can draw a lot of ever-rewarding benefits to well-being that we have discussed in our previous blogs, from the pleasure of feeling recognized and appreciated within the company as employees to improved focus and stronger motivation. Outside of the workplace, we've witnessed the joy these shared moments bring to colleagues and their loved ones, and we have come to appreciate them greatly!
Building on our past experiences at San Diego Bay Cruises, we're excited to share some of the family-friendly ideas that inspired the cruises which made these moments possible.
Dining cruises
Whether it's breakfast, brunch, lunch, or dinner, the SDBC experience offers a journey seasoned with delicious food and beautiful views. Unlike the other activities, the dining cruises are oriented toward comfort and stillness. The atmosphere on these leisure cruises is warmer and customized, often featuring tailored music, meals, and other arrangements.
Gather your team and their significant others for a formal meeting or a casual get-together, choose your preferred route, and enjoy the service! While the adults relax, children will be entertained by magicians or clowns, and enjoy junior menus designed just for them.
Harbor cruises
A harbor cruise can be quite an engaging and educational experience for all ages! You will smoothly sail along San Diego's historic waterfront and learn about its traditional maritime attractions, Coronado Bay Bridge, The Star of India, the Naval Air Station, and the USS Midway.
You may plan stops at these iconic landmarks and other picturesque spots, and take pictures together with your family and colleagues. Peaceful and relaxing, harbor cruises are the best time for everyone to spark meaningful conversation and spend quality time together while admiring the sights.
Wildlife seafari
A very thoughtful approach to entertain your colleagues and their loved ones would be a Wildlife Seafari! This will be an immersive, exciting, and informational trip, during which you might come across sea lions, dolphins, whales, seabirds, and pelicans. Different times of the year attract different species, including the grandiose blue whale, the largest creature in the world.
The guides can turn the tours into real lessons in marine biology by sharing fascinating information about the ecosystem and the species encountered. A good idea to help the little ones get actively involved in the tour would be to provide them with binoculars and a checklist to track down and identify different animals they see, and turn the tour into a wildlife scavenger hunt.
Ocean sailing
Unlike harbor cruises and leisurely dining cruises which focus on culinary experiences and scenic views, ocean sailing takes you out on the open waters, offering other moods and sensations. Nothing compares to being on a classic sailboat with nothing but the unending waterline in your view and feeling the motion of the waves below you; it's peaceful and refreshing.
If you choose a sailboat, it may be worthwhile to take part in a hands-on experience where everyone can participate in the sailing process itself! This can be anything from simply taking turns to adjust the sails and steer the boat to organizing a full role-based session with navigators, skippers, helmsmen, and sail trimmers, and the kids join to act as assistants. To make sure that they understand their roles and responsibilities, everyone will receive a brief set of instructions.
