Is there a better feeling than clipping through the waves with the sun on your face? Or watching stars come out over the Aegean Sea with a glass of champagne?
Sailing holidays don’t have to be an intimidating tangle of ropes, nautical jargon and sea monsters – not with Intrepid. Whether you’re a fresh-faced novice or an old salt with callouses on both hands, we’ve got a sailing trip to suit you. Be as involved as you like. Help navigate, tack and steer; or simply kick back on deck with a copy of Moby Dick and let the world float by. These are small groups on small boats, but with big adventures.

Sailing tours by region
Why choose an Intrepid sailing trip
Experienced skippers
Our skippers have years of experience sailing the high seas. There’s no-one better to show you the ropes (literally).
Best of both worlds
These sailing vacations aren’t confined to the ocean blue. There’s plenty of time scheduled on land to see the sights and check out the local culture.
Safety first
We know safety is of utmost importance on the ocean. That’s why our yachts are top-of-the-line and range from brand new to (at most) five years old.
No experience needed
If you'd like to pick up some sailing skills, your skipper can show you how. If not, just relax, kick back on deck and soak up some ocean breezes.
Our boats
Europe
In Europe, we like to go classic. A single-hulled, 50-foot yacht gives you a taste of traditional Mediterranean sailing, not to mention it looks pretty spiffy in pictures too. A typical Intrepid vessel may come with three twin/double cabins, as well as a couple of single berths. You’ll have a recreation lounge, kitchen, three shared bathrooms and plenty of deck space for lazing around and looking fabulous.
Asia & the Caribbean
When it comes to sailing in Asia and Caribbean, catamarans are the way to go. They’re smooth, comfortable, and nimble enough to reach those out-of-the-way cays and little island inlets. The twin hull means there’s plenty of space to stretch out –perfect for those balmy evenings and lazy afternoons. Most of the catamarans in our fleet have four twin/double cabins, three shared bathrooms, a galley (that’s nautical talk for kitchen) and a small living area. In Asia, there’s even kayaks and paddleboards for those that want to get a little active (and bean bags on deck for those that don’t!)
FAQs
You don’t have to lift a finger if you don’t want to (unless you need to turn the page of your novel or eat a grape). But if you’d like to learn the ropes, that’s fine too. Your expert skipper can teach you everything you’d like to know – from tying knots to unfurling the sails.
There’s about a 30/70 split between land-based and water-based activities on our Asia and Caribbean sailing trips. In Europe this is closer to 50/50 however some evenings will be spent in port or a marina. Much of this depends on the weather conditions. There are usually at least a few hours each day spent exploring ports, trekking the surrounding areas or relaxing on beaches. Of course, depending on location, there will always be the chance to wine and dine at the local hot spots.
We have travellers of all ages and nationalities travelling with us. Approximately 60% of our travellers are single travellers, followed by a mix of friends travelling and couples. The minimum age of travellers on our trips is 18, or 15 if accompanied by an adult. We don’t have a maximum age as we believe those choosing a sailing adventure are like-minded regardless of age.
Your skipper will allocate rooms on arrival to the boat. Single travellers will be paired up with another passenger of the same sex, and this may mean sharing a double mattress or twin mattresses side by side.
This is our most common question. People are often hesitant about the idea of sharing a double mattress with another traveller of the same sex. Sailing boats tend to be very compact (and we use realy sailing boats), and the close-quarters nature of this travel is part of the adventure.
Sleeping quarters are designed to utilise the minimum amount of space in order to keep the communal areas as big as possible. In practice, lots of travellers end up sleeping out on deck under the stars, as it’s warm and there’s no air conditioning on a sailing boat.
Our boats have a mix of double, twin (two separate beds or two separate mattresses side by side) and bunks.
Yes. Single supplements are available on all trips subject to availability. A single supplement is normally twice the regular price, however where trips have inclusions such as meals there is a slight reduction in the supplement price. If you are interested in having a single supplement please contact us to check availability and price.
On many boats bathroom facilities are shared, however some boats have ensuites in each cabin that allow two people to share one bathroom. Our monohull yachts in Europe will have no more than two cabins sharing a bathroom. Most of our catamarans have four cabins and four bathrooms, however these bathrooms are shared between travellers and crew. Check the Essential Trip Information of your trip for more specific details about your boat. Fresh and hot water is available for showers, and toilets are either electronic or hand pump.
Seasickness comes in a variety of forms. Common symptoms include fatigue, uneasiness, dizziness, and headaches. The majority of these symptoms usually subside after taking some time to adjust (usually a few hours to a day). Paracetamol tablets can help ease the transition. Heavy seasickness, characterised by vomiting, is uncommon, and it can be treated using medication. There are also a number of other self-management techniques you can try – such as sitting out in the fresh air, drinking ginger tea or watching the horizon.
For more information about beating seasickness, click here.
All Caribbean, Asia, Zanzibar and Galapagos Island trips feature an on-board chef, who will prepare three delicious meals each day, plus snacks. In Europe and the British Virgin Islands, we operate with a trip kitty* that everyone contributes to. This is because there’s so much great local produce to taste in each place that it makes a lot of sense to buy food at each stop! This kitty will keep cover some of your food and beverage costs. On all our trips there will be an opportunity to enjoy a meal at a local port – we’ll be able to show you where all the good tavernas are. Please check your Essential Trip Information for more specific details.
*See below for information about what is kitty.
You are welcome to drink on board - in fact, nothing enhances a sunset more than a gin and tonic – however alcohol is BYO (bring your own). So make sure you buy what you need before departure. Some of our boats have alcoholic drinks on board that are available for purchase at local bar prices. Drinking water is free of charge.
Due to the compact size of the boats and the sometimes rocky nature of a sailing trip, it is advisable that you bring fabric/canvas luggage. It’s a good idea to pack light as there will usually be a gap between the boat and pier. While the skipper or a fellow traveller can give you a helping hand, you’ll need to be able to lift your bag onto the boat.
Sailing trips are a little different to regular group tours. There’s a finite amount of space on the boat, so it’s best to leave the grand piano, pet llama and foldout four-person mattress at home. Same goes for bulky suitcases, ten pairs of shoes and the surfboard.
This isn’t designed to be a comprehensive packing list, but it’ll get you thinking like a real sailor.
- A medium-sized fabric bag that can be flattened or stored easily
- A small day pack for shore excursions
- Some flip flops or deck shoes that can get wet
- Sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat
- Seasickness tablets (just in case)
- Swimmers (don’t worry about the snorkel and fins – we provide those)
- Waterproof camera (for those sweet underwater shots)
- A light weatherproof jacket (just in case of high seas or seasonal showers)
For a more detailed packing list please refer to the Essential Trip Information of your trip.
These will vary from trip to trip – be sure to check your Essential Trip Information for more specific details. Some sailing trips will head out to sea on the afternoon of the first day. Others will remain in port overnight, however we still ask that you join the trip at the requested time as the skipper will need to deliver a welcome and safety briefing before organising a visit to the supermarket to buy provisions for the trip. All travellers will have an input into the provisions and this will be purchased from the kitty*.
Please note that due to sailing being a heavily weather-dependent activity, sometimes itineraries may need to change. We recommend allowing an additional night at the beginning and end of the trip to ensure nobody misses any onward flights.
*see ‘What is a kitty’ for more information on.
A kitty is a fund or pool of money that all travellers can choose to contribute to at the beginning of a trip. It’s not compulsory however we’ve found pooling the group's money in one place makes it easier to arrange non-included group meals and tips where necessary. You'll usually eat most breakfasts and some lunches and dinners onboard the boat, so it's best to buy supplies from a nearby supermarket or grocery store at the beginning of each trip. For meals off the boat, our skippers will suggest locally-run restaurants that specialise in local produce and delicacies.
The maximum passenger capacity on our boats changes depending on which country you are sailing. Here’s a quick breakdown, but you can always find more specific details in the essential trip information of each tour.
Burma: 8
Phuket: 14
Caribbean: 8
Europe: 8 – 11 (depending on the boat)

Bahamas Sailing Adventure, April 2018

The Bahamas trip was wonderful. Do pack light, use sun block, and prepare to relax and enjoy not only the land and sea, but the captain, cook, and fellow passengers, each of whom brings a new angle and loads of fun to the trip.

If you are considering the idea of sailing, being on a boat, or just want to see the Bahamas - this is the trip for you!! I was overwhelmed by the trip from start to finish. Your guide Judy and cook Meg were wonderful hosts with lots of stories and local knowledge, making sure we had an extra special trip! My highlights were swimming with the pigs, snorkeling, exploring local islands, cruising along on the boat, tasting the local rum punch, feeding turtles and rays, and exploring Green Turtle island on golf carts! Definitely worth the money and travel for this trip of a lifetime! Thanks ladies for such a great adventure! Hopefully I’ll be back next year to see it with you again!

Amazing trip!! Didnt want to leave. You really dont need to pack much, most of the time is spent in the water or sun bathing. Bring shoes that are easy to get on and off for the boat transfers, underwater camera is a must, there is quite a bit of time spent sailing so make sure you have a good book or two to read. There isnt many opportunities to get cash out so make sure you take it all before hand.

This trip was by far my most relaxing one, it was an experience I will never forget, also because of the good knowledge of Judy who tried always their best to realize a amazing itinerary. Meg‘s cooking skills were amazing and if you are looking for a beach holiday not on the beach, thats what it is, loved it

The catamaran was absolutely the perfect boat to sail in the Abacos. The island hopping experience is wonderful and blue seas are world class beautiful. Our crew was terrific too. We did not do as much sailing and motoring to reach the destination as provided on the itinerary. The food quality was acceptable but fresh fish would have been nice to see on our trip. Overall, they can twig the experience with more sailing and better quality of food and that would make this trip perfect!!

Very relaxing & wonderful experience, would recommend. However be aware that 7 day’s is quite a long time to be in close proximity with your fellow passengers given the limited space onboard. It’s not the kind of trip which would be recommended for someone who isn’t sociable. 4 day’s onboard the boat would have been sufficient.

This was my first solo trip, so I was a little nervous at first....but as it turned out it was the best thing I've ever done, as now it's opened up the world for me. Captain Judy was wonderful, Megan our chef was fantastic, the boat was beautiful, the water was luminescent, the islands were beautiful, and my fellow travelers were all amazing people that I'm very grateful to have met. Could not have been better....I will be signing up for another Intrepid trip!

Being able to have time to yourself to read, meditate, swim, snorkel, bird watch and enjoy the spectacular natural beauty of the Mergui Archipelago is a privilege in itself. Sometimes the best places take a little time to get to, but are well worth the effort. Don't forget to pack your lip balm!

We thoroughly enjoyed our sailing trip in Cuba! Our captain Alberto and our chef Hugo were very friendly and entertaining. Food was great, vibes were great, beaches were stunning, music was great, cocktails were plentiful (and cheap). It was a unique opportunity to visit a beautiful part of Cuba (and cost effective). Great relaxing way to end our time in Cuba. Muchas gracias Alberto y Hugo!

This trip will appeal to those who love the undiscovered. Standing on the sandy shores of islands that only a handful of people have ever seen is a pretty special and increasingly difficult experience to find. The crew have great passion not only for this beautiful part of the world but for giving their passengers the best experiences possible and it really shows. Not only would I whole heartedly recommend this trip, I would do it all again myself!

A lovely relaxing tour around the archipelago. Nice catamaran with decent sized cabins and luxury of ensuite loo/shower. A couple of evenings on land but mainly at anchor so pack light and mainly casual, no need for trainers, walking sandals at most. Food fab, lots of extremely fresh fish, lobster, shrimp.....if you need snacks, bring them with you and ideally from home as quite hard to find even in Havana plus the obligatory bottle of rum although they serve a mean cocktail and good price. Reasonable snorkelling but not amazing, suggest bring your own mask as seals not brill but snorkels and fins fine. Depending on month of trip (Jan for me), had some cooler days plus in Havana so bring a warmish fleece/wrap. Overall highly recommended and consider extra days either end to tour Havana.

Intrepid's responsible tourism policies are clearly evident in every aspect of the trip, not just words. We had a crew of 2 Myanmar guides and 2 international crew who operated in a collegial team. This made for a relaxed and very enjoyable trip where passengers could spend time with each crew member throughout the trip, gaining a depth of understanding of the local culture and environment.
