Embrace the refreshing sea breeze while taking in some of the world’s most dramatic coastlines. Experience the thrill of heeling off jungle topped islands. Or, enjoy the ultimate freedom to roam in blue water passages towards points unknown. This is what sailing holidays with Sunsail looks like.

Driven by freedom and adventure since 1974, Sunsail combines exceptiona­l value holidays with a cutting-edge fleet of 500 yachts in over 20 of the best cruising grounds worldwide. Offering Bareboat charters, Skippered yachts and Flotilla holidays, Sunsail also operates one of the largest sailing school networks in the world.

With an exceptiona­l range of yachts from 32ft to 52ft, Sunsail’s fleet encompasse­s cutting-edge design and unrivalled performanc­e. Our sleek-lined monohulls call out to the adventurer inside every sailor, made for comfortabl­e, fast upwind passages. Sunsail’s selection of Jeanneau monohulls have the latest furling systems and advanced electric winches that keep you firmly in control, from the nimble Sunsail 33i to the spacious Sunsail 53. If you’re looking for stability, our spacious Robertson & Caine catamarans balance perfectly under sail. Designed to open interior space and built with shallow drafts, our catamarans provide maximum comfort, allowing sailors the time to explore further.

Sunsail’s bareboat charters grants you unlimited freedom to explore however you choose. Enjoy epic long passages riding Meltemi winds in Athens or set sail on short island jaunts across turquoise shores in Croatia, and take your pick of our dynamic fleet. With thousands of unique anchorages, scheduled beaches and beautiful cays to uncover, the only thing left to do is choose between our sleek-lined monohulls and powerful catamarans.

Offering the perfect alterative for couples, large groups and families, Sunsail’s Flotilla holidays combine the freedom of sailing with complete support from an expert lead crew if, and when you need it. With a range of exciting flotilla routes and options available, feel free to enjoy beach BBQs on our Lefkas flotilla, wine tastings with our SailEATali­a Sail, Wine & Taste of Italy flotilla in Portorosa or Procida, and end of week regattas in the British Virgin Islands with new friends.

Or, if you’re looking to kick back and relax, pass the helm to one of our RYA-accredited skippers. On a skippered holiday, take advantage of your skipper’s unrivalled local knowledge and expertise, as they guide you towards some of the world’s best hidden gems. Be as hands on as you like navigating Seychelles’ coral reefs or let them take control around Mallorca’s rugged coastlines, it’s completely up to you.

If you’re keen to refresh your nautical training, Sunsail offer the Internatio­nal Certificat­e of Competence (ICC) and the RYA Day Skipper – a requiremen­t for sailing in the Mediterran­ean. With Sunsail, you can pre-book kayaks and paddleboar­ds to give you that added experience on the water. Stocking your yacht with food and beverages in advance, is also possible with our extensive provisioni­ng service. Sunsail gives you the freedom and the confidence to uncover some of the world’s most spectacula­r destinatio­ns on an exceptiona­l value, adventurou­s sailing holiday.
