Business on a Boat is an exclusive experience designed for leaders who need space to think, reset and reimagine their business without the noise of everyday demands. 

Business on a Boat


Step aboard a luxury executive motor yacht in Split, Croatia and discover how a beautiful, uncluttered environment lifts decision-making, sparks creativity and ignites problem-solving.


When the scenery changes, so does your thinking. And when your surroundings are this extraordinary, breakthroughs come naturally.

Chris Paddey - Business on a Boat

What I bring on board


As someone who has built, grown and exited my own business, after successfully integrating it into a global group, I have personal experience of the complex challenges business owners face. 


My approach is different because my experience is unique. I bring the precision of a chartered engineer, the experience of a global board director and the pragmatism of an entrepreneur. 


Business on a Boat is unlike any coaching, mentorship or development programme out there, giving you valuable one-to-one time with an experienced exit founder who will be wholly focused on you and your business.
