About us

Set along the sparkling shores of Mission Bay, the Catamaran Resort Hotel and Spa is a 310-room tropical escape in San Diego’s Pacific Beach community. Surrounded by palm trees, koi ponds, waterfalls, and friendly parrots, the resort blends casual elegance with a relaxed Polynesian spirit only 8 miles from the airport. Guest rooms, studios, and suites each include a private balcony or patio overlooking Mission Bay, the Pacific Ocean coastline, or the resort’s lush gardens. The Catamaran features 14 flexible indoor and outdoor venues, including its signature Kon Tiki Meeting Room with an A-frame design and soaring 25-foot ceiling for up to 425 guests. Many meeting rooms offer sweeping bay views, natural light, and private patios, and the scenic sandy beach on Mission Bay creates a memorable setting for gatherings of all sizes. Groups can also set sail on the resort’s classic sternwheeler boat, the William D. Evans, which cruises the bay and accommodates up to 450 guests. The friendly team makes planning simple by helping coordinate team building activities, beach picnics, meeting packages, and catered events. On-site dining options include the waterfront Oceana Coastal Kitchen with chef-driven California cuisine, and Moray’s, a laid-back bar with signature cocktails, local craft beer, and outdoor seating lined with tiki torches and fire pits. In the lobby, Lava Java offers grab-and-go coffee, smoothies, and light bites. Resort amenities include a lagoon-style pool, beach cabanas, an open-air fitness center, and seasonal outdoor yoga. The Catamaran Spa, San Diego's only beachfront spa, features innovative treatments using tropical botanicals and marine-based products. Steps from the hotel, guests can rent paddleboards, sailboats, kayaks, and bikes. Mission Beach, Pacific Beach, and attractions like SeaWorld, the San Diego Zoo, Balboa Park, and the Gaslamp District are all close by.

Rock 'n Roll Team Building
Rock 'n Roll Team Building
Multi-city
Connection. Creativity. Chaos (the fun kind). Available all over the USA! Forget the icebreakers and trust falls. This is team building that cranks up the volume and gets your people actually connecting — not just collecting another tote bag. We take your team, hand them a mic (sometimes literally), and turn a room of colleagues into a full-blown rock choir. It’s equal parts live music, laughter, storytelling, and spine-tingling harmony — all tailored to your event. Here’s What You Get: • 🎸 Live Music that kicks like a drum solo at Wembley • 🎤 Storytelling that hits the heart (and the funny bone) • 🎶 3-Part Harmony Choir — no singing skills required, just good vibes • 🤘 Audience Improv — spontaneous, unforgettable, and never awkward • 📝 Custom Song Creation that ties your event together with a chorus your team will hum all the way home Perfect for: • 🚀 Launching big ideas • 🔋 Energizing the middle of a long agenda • 🎉 Ending on a high that actually gets remembered We’ve done this with 10 people. We’ve done it with 2,500. Either way, we bring the same stadium-worthy energy. We’re fronted by Grammy-nominated INXS frontman Ciaran Gribbin, backed by world-class musicians, and powered by pure rock ‘n roll spirit. This isn’t “team building.” It’s a shared experience that gives your people goosebumps, grins, and genuine connection. Ready to shake things up? Let’s talk. "Best Team Building I've ever booked. Ciaran and the band were great." Arrow Electronics "It was absolutely the best team event I have ever run or attended." Lamb Weston "I can honestly say that Rock 'n Roll Team Building is the best event experience I have ever seen at a conference." Jazz Pharmaceuticals
