Corporate & Team Building
Make Your Next Offsite an “On-Island”
The Boathouse offers an inspiring, professional venue designed to foster deep team connections and inspire collaboration. Host your next offsite, retreat, or team building adventure in our bright, open space, and let our team help you shape a day that feels productive, meaningful, and uniquely Bainbridge.
Just a short walk from the Seattle–Bainbridge ferry, our location makes it easy for teams to step out of the city and into a setting that feels like a true getaway. We can share local breakfast and lunch recommendations, assist with setup, and help you add thoughtful island touches, from wine or beer tastings to creative wellness elements.
For groups looking for something truly memorable, you can add our signature rowing experience, guided by BIR coaches.

“Thank you for an absolutely magical experience. I loved every minute and am so grateful for your energy, your lessons, and your belief in what we were trying to create together. It was magnificent, and I hope you see the impact this fall on the field. Remember, it started on the water with Dawgs in the Boat."
