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.
