Sailing trips in Europe can feel a bit like you’ve stumbled into a Bridget Bardot movie: sleepy Italian hamlets perched on limestone cliffs, the sun-drenched glitz of Capri, lazing the day away on deck with a handful of Grecian olives. It’s one of the best ways to explore the continent, although you are faced with some tough decisions: spend the afternoon snorkelling that secluded cove, or sail Croatia’s favourite archipelago? Indulge in a family-run taverna banquet, or burn the calories on a bike ride through the hinterland? To take that evening cocktail before or after Santorini’s marmalade sunset? Ah, decisions, decisions…
Our Europe sailing tours
Europe Sailing highlights
Drop anchor in picturesque Capri
Ah, Capri. The Italians knew a good island when they found it. Hence the giant Roman palace was built on Monte Tiberio. These days Capri is known for royalty of a different kind, with celebs dropping in to do some boutique shopping or chill out in the aquamarine grottos nearby. A day or two exploring here as part of our Amalfi Coast sailing adventure and it might be hard to get you back on the boat…
Wander the cobbled lanes of Amorgos
Amorgos is a mountainous little island in the southeastern corner of the Cyclades. As far as Greek Islands go, this one is more concerned with activities and archaeology than perfecting a sun-kissed tan. White-washed streets, a burgeoning rock climbing scene, ancient ruins and one of the most spectacular monasteries in the Med – it’s a real gem and you get to explore it on our Greece sailing adventure.
Sail the seas around the Bay of Kotor
Whether it’s the towering cliffs you can’t wait to run your eyes over or the stunning beaches filled with golden sand you’re dying to lay out on, the beautiful Bay of Kotor on Montenegro’s coastline promises to capture your heart (and lots of room on your phone’s camera roll). Bursting with World Heritage-listed villages, historic islets, and secluded coves, this is one destination you’ll never want to set sail on.
Explore one of Croatia’s best – MIjet
Steeped in ancient legend, this extraordinary island vows to take your breath away (and probably won’t give it back) thanks to its flourishing national parks, charming villages, and rich forests full of fascinating flora and fauna. From a guided walking tour past natural wonders to discovering ruins from centuries ago, the memories you make and the adventures you have in MIjet will be some of your favourites.

This trip was booked for my 40th Birthday with 2 friends. Our captain George was amazing. He is knowledgeable about the areas you visit and a proud sailor. The relaxed vibe of this trip was well needed and highly recommended. So glad we booked it!

I quite enjoyed our seven day sail through the Greek isles. Our captain had a dry sense of humor, exhibited great confidence in the handling of the boat and management of all his passengers’ various needs. He made the trip easy, with multiple recommendations, and options for excursions. We learned quite a bit of the local mythology, lore, and history. I would highly recommend this trip to even novice sailors, such as myself.
