Sailing options by type

Sail along trips let guests join a crew for a three day, two night stretch on board, with sleeping, eating and cooking all taking place on the yacht. Sailing courses and flotilla holidays go further, with the chance to take hands on turns at the helm. Introductory sailing days out of Muiderzand offer a daytime taste of sailing for anyone who has never set foot on a yacht before. Guests can also pick a route that matches their level, from first steps on a calm day to longer passages once their confidence grows.

Sailing destinations

Trips run in Greece, Croatia, the Caribbean, Spain, Italy, Turkey and the Netherlands, so sailors can choose a sea that suits their plans. The Caribbean stretch brings sailing among Martinique, St. Lucia and the Grenadines, with palm fringed beaches and snorkelling with turtles and rays among the highlights. Each island has its own character, and the setting is a clear draw for guests who want warm water and varied scenery.

Sailing for pleasure

The brand treats sailing as a wellspring of energy and connection, and its team focuses on enjoyment on the water. Dutch travellers form a large part of the guest mix, and many arrive alone, in pairs or with a group of friends who want to share a yacht. Skippers and instructors guide each trip, so guests can rely on experienced hands while they learn the ropes and take in the scenery.

Length of each trip

Each trip has a fixed length, such as the three day sail along, so guests know the time on board before they set out. Courses and flotilla holidays follow their own set programmes, which keeps the plan of each sailing week clear from the start. Guests considering a sailing holiday should take the trip length into account when planning their time away from work and home. Those who want a longer block of time can pair several trips or book a course that runs over consecutive days, which gives a fuller picture of life aboard.

How did Amorgos begin?+

Amorgos traces its start to 1997 when Willem organized his own sailing course from Athene to Amorgos. The initial voyage proved too long for a course but created strong enthusiasm for sailing pleasure. It now sails yearly in about 15 areas with around 30 to 40 different trips worldwide.

What happens during a sail along trip?+

Guests join one or more yachts with an experienced skipper and stay on board for the length of the trip. Days are spent sailing between harbours, and some stretches of the route can be handled by guests who want to learn. The mood on board is relaxed, and the flexibility of the skipper shapes the route each day.

Can someone try sailing before booking a course?+

Yes, introductory sailing days let visitors join a daytime sail from Muiderzand in the Netherlands to find out whether cabin sailing suits them. The day gives a practical feel for the yacht and the crew without committing to a longer course or a full sailing holiday.

What do the sailing courses teach?+

Courses are led by an experienced instructor and cover the basics of handling a yacht, from setting sail to managing a course across open water. Guests who join a skipper training track can progress to more advanced skills at their own pace.
