Welcome to all sailors, those who have already sailed the seas and oceans and those who have not yet done so.
If you have ever dreamt of what it must be like to set sail on sea, head for distance shores, drop anchor in a deserted bay and explore new lands, join one of the trips. As Jacques Cousteau said, “The sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever.”
Exciting sailing routes
Almost every day, unless we are on the ocean, we will anchor in a bay or visit a marina where you can head off ashore and discover. The trips are planned carefully so that you can enjoy time on the water and have time to explore visited places.
Practical trainings on board
You can expected practical trainings on board based on RYA syllabus for all levels. Anyone with a normal physical capability and an adventurous mindset can take part. For most trips no previous experience or training is required.
Full participation
Everyone is involved at every stage according to the level of experience so you can never be bored. Whether you are a complete novice or an experienced sailor, you will deepen your sailing competences, build confidence and get vital lessons in teamwork.
About the trips
Sailing to inspiring areas
Like many sailors we are inspired by the stories of great adventurers such as Sir Ernest Shackleton and Joshua Slocum.
Routes are selected to run in spectacular places often away from beaten tracks. You will be able to explore wonderful cities and islands, discover remote bays, and see the world from a unique perspective.
The trips are non-commercial and run in friends-sailing manner. All expenses are transparent and known before you sign.
Full crew engagement
During the trips you will be able to make your own input from the very start, even if you are a novice. From the very start of a trip, you will be navigating, planning, helming and more according to the level of experience.
The trips are an excellent opportunity to gain bluewater miles and get qualifying passages for RYA and other certificates.
If you are new to sailing, do not worry, you will learn everything on board. If any specific training is required it will be explicitly stated in a trip.
