If you’ve never had the pleasure of taking part in a sailing holiday before, you’re missing out on one of the most relaxing and beautiful ways to travel. Whether you choose to sail the Mediterranean and Aegean waters around France, Italy and Croatia, the tropical waters of Southeast Asia, or even the Galapagos and Caribbean Islands – sailing is the best way to travel. You’ll get to cover plenty of ground (water), all from the comfort of a crewed yacht, and when the day is done, you can unwind on the deck with cocktails in hand as the sun sets below the horizon. What’s not to love?

As a single traveller in her early 30's this Intrepid experience was fantastic. Fabulous skipper, super knowledgeable and friendly. Also lucked out on having a great bunch of people on my boat! Would definitely recommend Intrepid and would 100% use them again!

Sailboat was beautiful and our skipper was excellent and enthusiastic. There is no better way to see the Amalfi coast and no better way to enjoy swimming in the sea than from a sail boat. Note: if you have reservations about bunking with a stranger, know that it IS close quarters but the other people on the trip will likely be so great, it won't matter. I am so glad I had this experience!!

Amalfi coast is stunning and sailing is a lovely way to see it. I feel like I have been away for 3 weeks not 1 - highly relaxed and sunned!

I would highly recommend Intrepid travel tours to people who would like to meet locals, get off the beaten track, not be tied to a big group and have all the hassles of booking and using local transport removed. We have done several Intrepid tours and thoroughly enjoyed every single one. Their strong point is their high quality tour leaders and their well researched itineraries. Thankyou Intrepid we recommend you to all our friends and family wanting to travel overseas headache free.

I was introduced to Intrepid travel by a friend who highly recommended them. My partner and I much prefer small group travel that exposes us to local life and experiences as much as possible. Intrepid travel offers this and our first ever experience of a sailing adventure with Intrepid will surely have us coming back to plan our next adventure with them!
