The combination of being looked after by the crew while visiting new destinations every day, makes it a vacation you will never forget.
A typical day on our boats often starts with a lovely and refreshing morning swim. In the meantime, the host prepares your breakfast buffet. Once everyone is full and satisfied, it's off to sea to sail on to the day's destination. While we sail to the next stop, you can sunbathe, swim, read a book or just enjoy the surroundings. As lunch approaches, the kitchen smells good, lunch is usually enjoyed in a turquoise bay followed by swimming from the boat. After lunch, you'll head to an undiscovered harbor, idyllic bay or picturesque town where you'll spend the night. In the evening, you'll have the chance to sample the local cuisine and end the night at a local bar before letting the sea lull you to sleep.

Boats we sail with in Greece
In Greece we sail during the summer of 2024 with Dufour 530 & Excess 11. The places on board can be booked by a whole company if you want the whole boat for yourself, or by several smaller companies where you then also have the opportunity to get to know new acquaintances.
On board the boat, both breakfast and lunch are served, eaten around the table in the cockpit. The foredeck is usually the favorite place on board the boat, here you can while the boat sails in peace and quiet sunbathe, hear the waves lapping or maybe see a dolphin jumping in front of the bow. At the back of the boat there is a bathing jetty and ladder that makes it easy to get in and out of the cooling sea. If you are a larger group that wants to sail a specific boat, we will of course arrange it, warmly welcome to contact us.
What do our customers think?
We carbon offset your sailing trip
From 2019, More Sailing will carbon offset all sailing trips we organize to 110%. This means that you who travel with us contribute more positively with climate-positive measures than the negative co2 impact that your sailing trip has. We also offset all internal travel for staff and other impacts the company has to be at least climate neutral.
CO2 emissions and global warming are a threat to all living things on our planet. Sailing is environmentally friendly but air travel to the sailboat is not. The flight accounts for 95% of the negative climate impact of buying a sailing trip. By More Sailing investing in various climate projects, we compensate the CO2 emissions that the sailing trip gives rise to by 110%.
We do not consider that we buy a clean conscience through climate compensation, but we do something concrete to slow down global warming. Carbon offsetting of CO2 is included in all our sailing trips, it cannot be opted out. Read more here.
