So What is "Adventure Sailing"?
Many sailors who cruise the familiar waters of their home port dream of venturing further afield but are restricted by the limitations of boat size, suitable crew and often by a lack of confidence in their own skills. Snorkelling on coral reefs, exploring empty beaches, hiking hills and volcanos, sailing across open oceans and not seeing land for days on end - ‘Adventure Sailing’ gives sailors a chance to push their boundaries, explore new places, and develop a whole range of new skills. ‘Adventure Sailing’ combines a great day’s sailing with enough time to explore the places you visit, taking adventures to interesting destinations, not on the usual yachting itinerary, not just sailing from marina to marina but wherever possible anchoring up in secluded bays and rediscovering the natural world from the unique vantage of a yacht.

Whether you are sailing in the middle of the Atlantic, travelling from one Caribbean Island to the next or exploring the Irish Coastline, there is nothing quite like sitting on the bow and enjoying the relaxing sound and scents of the ocean, knowing you are heading for another new exciting destination and looking out for dolphins, turtles, whales and sea birds as they pass your bow.
