Offsites & retreats
Get the leadership team out of the building — and next to the ocean.
Private boardrooms on Gloucester's working waterfront, under an hour from Boston, with the Beauport Hotel a short walk away. The change of scenery your strategy session has been asking for.
45 minutes from Boston. A world away from the office.
The best offsites happen where the day feels different. Wheelhouse sits in America's oldest seaport — lobster boats out the window, salt air on the walk to lunch, and none of the interruptions that find your team downtown. Plan in the morning, walk the harbor at noon, decide in the afternoon.
For multi-day retreats, the Beauport Hotel — Gloucester's oceanfront hotel — is within walking distance of Wheelhouse Harborside. Rooms for the team, dinner overlooking the water, a rooftop bar for the honest conversation, and a five-minute stroll back to the boardroom in the morning.
Built for the executive day out
Rooms built for real work
The Vault seats up to 14 around one table with a 70″ display and whiteboard walls — a former bank vault turned boardroom. The Bay adds a bright breakout room for 6 with harbor light.
The Beauport Hotel, a short walk away
Gloucester's waterfront hotel is minutes on foot from Wheelhouse Harborside — overnight rooms, oceanfront dining, and a rooftop bar for the evening debrief. Your team never touches a car all day.
Under an hour from Boston
About 45 minutes up Route 128 — against traffic — or a direct MBTA commuter rail ride from North Station. Close enough for a day session, far enough that nobody slips back to the office.
Catering-friendly
Working lunches from Gloucester's restaurants delivered in, espresso and snacks on tap all day, and some of the best seafood in New England two blocks away when you close the laptops.
Everything handled
Fast WiFi, video conferencing, displays, whiteboards, printing, and a soundproof phone room for the call that can't wait. Book by the hour or take the room for the day.
Easy arrival
On-site parking at Harborside, street parking downtown, and door access that simply works — your booking opens the doors 15 minutes before you arrive.
