Castellum was one of the main sponsors of the large and traditional Stena Match Cup at Marstrand. For the second year in a row, Ocean Group organized all their events on-site. Every day we took care of a new crowd of curious and specially invited guests. The days were packed with everything from watching the race from the world’s fastest catamaran sauna, to participating in the match cup regatta, taking a RIB-boat ride and sailing with oneoff’s 60 foot boat. During the evening mingling, West Coast delicacies were served up on an icebreaker. Every evening was unique and the week was so eventful we recommend you look at the pictures.
Race Boats
Opening ceremony and display of the race boats. Castellum had its own sponsored boat in the competition.
Castellum was visible
It was really hard to miss that Castellum was onsite during the week. Together we did everything we could to make sure they would appear in as many contexts as possible. One of the pictures shows the catamaran sauna which constituted Castellum’s headquarter.
Watching the races
From the catamaran we made sure Castellum had a front-row seat to the action. Here, they even have their own commentator.
Mingle, and more mingle
The goal of Ocean Group was to enable Castellum to focus on taking care of their guests and give them an unforgettable experience to strengthen their relationship.

The razor sharp ”Castellum Match Cup” with this year’s proud winner in the lower right. This isn’t just a fun activity, but is also an excellent way to get a group to get to know each other fast by working together.

Arrival by RIB

Dinner on the catamaran during sunset
Dinner was server on the roof of the catamaran. We started in the fjord of Marstrand and reached Marstrand’s harbor by the end of the dessert.
Sailing
Sailing with Celeste, a 60-foot sail boat for ocean racing. The boat is extremely well equipped and has participated in a large number of major ocean races. One of the days was very windy and both the boat and its crew had to show what they were made of. Lucky for us they both came through. Whether you have sailed before or not, it’s an incredible experience to cut through the waves at a staggering speed with only the wind to propel you.
Professional make-up
There were other activities available for those who opted to not sail, such as help with hair and make-up for the evening’s festivities.
Refreshing dip
There was also time for refreshing dips in the ocean between all activities.
Castellum on the “Ice Breaker”
We also had our favorite ”ice breaker” on site during the week. Here’s Catellum out for an evening cruise in the Marstrand fjord.
