Adventure Sailing Holidays
The Earth is two-thirds water, yet we spend most of our life on land. So cast off, take the plunge and discover the life-changing freedom of a holiday under sail. VentureSail offer 400+ adventures to amazing destinations on unusual boats, run by passionate crews. Get hands on and learn the ropes, or relax on deck and enjoy the journey wherever it takes you. Delicious food is freshly prepared for you each day, and a good night’s sleep in your comfy berth is guaranteed. There’s a huge choice across the fleet, from private ensuite cabins on luxury yachts to shared quarters on a classic tall ship. There’s so much of the world waiting to be explored, discover it under sail.
