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?

This was a great way to see the islands throughout Croatia and learn about sailing. I would recommend this trip to anyone who loves the ocean and a different kind of holiday experience.

Greece Sailing Adventure - Cyclades Islands , August 2017
Amber Hough
This trip was amazing. The boat was beautiful and well maintained, the islands and itinerary were perfect, and our skipper Antonis was professional, funny, kind and a truly impressive sailor. Plus, the group bonded instantly (and stayed that way)! I have not laughed so much in years.

Nuncio made the trip a brilliant experience. Makes all the difference having such an approachable, friendly and fun local to talk you through the sights, culture and history. A wonderful trip.

Greece Sailing Adventure - Cyclades Islands , August 2017
Patrick Taggert
I would recommend the Cyclades adventure to everyone. Antonios our skipper was 2nd to none. The sights and experiences you will see along the way will take your breath away. You will make life long friends as well. Our group was made up of ages 30-69 and we bonded like family, helped by our amazing skipper. Definitely put this trip on your bucket list!

Sail Italy - Procida to Amalfi, August 2017
Bryley Jackson
Sailing the Amalfi coast was an amazing experience as we could see the area from a different perspective than most. The beautiful coast line and towns were spectacular and the experience on the boat with 7 other lovely people was great! Food and sights were wonderful and the leader was a great sailor as well as very knowledgeable about the culture.

Tara Atwood
Seeing the Amalfi coast from the coast is spectacular! This trip allows you an opportunity to see several towns along the Amalfi coast without the high cost of hotels and complicated logistics if you did it on your own! The food, the wine, the beauty of the towns are incredible! It's wonderful to be able to enjoy part culture and part relaxing on this trip!

Sail Italy - Procida to Amalfi, August 2017
Clare Collins
Beautiful coastline which can be taken in slowly, relaxing on the boat. Interesting walks and activities including Pompii the scale of which is jaw dropping. The experience, knowledge and cooking of a well skilled skipper made this trip truly magical and one I will hopefully never forget.
