Black Tomato Events created a fasting moving incentive weekend that would leave delegates breathless from the activities organised and the hotel chosen for their stay. It would be certainly a experience to remember.
SCALE
25 Delegates
SOLUTION
Black Tomato events delivered an encounter with the power and thrill of two extremes activities, the sheer exhilaration of helicopter transfers and high performance Sunseeker powerboats, both created a unique and versatile event.
One of the modes of transport
The delegates’ base for their next two days was a boutique hotel set in 130 acres of Hampshire countryside on the edge of the New Forest National Park. The property boasts a staff to guest ratio of two to one; it’s not hard to understand why the venue was voted ‘Best Hotel in the British Isles’. The hotel offers elegance and style with effortless hospitality. The on-site restaurant holds the accolade of a Michelin Star.
After the delegates’ arrived at the hotel they were given a full safety briefing for the awaiting helicopters for their transfer to the Isle of Wight. The flight in the Long Ranger helicopters is totally thrilling and memorable; guests watched the colourful views of the Solent and Isle of Wight pass below them.
Following a rolling touchdown in Cowes the short transfer to the marina was made. Awaiting the guests were their skippers who escorted them to their waiting luxury Sunseeker Superhawk 34 powerboats, a low-weight craft able to undertake a top speed of 40 knots!
The Solent is a unique stretch of water on the South coast of England, dividing the coastlines of the UK and the Isle of Wight. Its unique positioning has naturally created one of the safest and most picturesque stretches of water in Britain. The Solent is steeped in history and holds many famous landmarks and attractions such as the historic Needles or Hurst Castle.
The stunning hotel
Following the formation power down the Solent, the group arrived at Yarmouth for a hearty two- course lunch at a waterside restaurant. The day resumed with guests returning to the water on the Sunseekers to see the historic sites and geographic landmarks of the Western Solent. The powerboats headed to Lymington where the teams enjoyed a refreshing glass of champagne or Pimms before being transferred back to Hotel.
Upon their return the guests could enjoy some private leisure time before meeting for a private Michelin starred three-course dinner.
The following morning was spent enjoying the hotels facilities and grounds, the possibilities were endless including spa treatments, a round on the golf course or possibly a bike ride. This incredible experience came to a close after a three-course lunch.
