Want to take a cruise? Take a sailboat adventure instead

Take a sailing vacation where you will make new friends, discover new places, indulge in locally-sourced meals while feeling catered to without the pressure of knowing how to sail yourself.   

A luxury sailing vacation doesn’t need to be restricted to travelers with sailing experience or those willing to dish out the cost of an entire yacht. A by the cabin charter offers the services of a crew: prepared meals, planned itinerary and land and sea-based activities, an alternative to the impersonal cruise ship experience. Your yacht accommodates up to 12 people who share the same adventurous spirit as you.

You can charter cabins on yachts all over the world. Our destinations include the Caribbean, Bahamas, Mediterranean, Indian Ocean, Asia and the Pacific.

Make new friends

By choosing a by the cabin charter for your island hopping adventure, you can let go of the stress of planning and just relax. When you rent a cabin instead of a whole yacht, you will wake up in a premium, private stateroom with your own bathroom, and join new friends in the shared common spaces and deck for a day of adventure planned by your professional crew.

Join your new friends on an ecotour of Bird Island in the Seychelles with a resident conservationist, where giant turtles populate the creamy beaches. Take a dip in the famous Na Muang Waterfalls on Samui, best enjoyed on an island hopping adventure around Thailand during the rainy season (between May and October). Marvel at the purple rocks above the falls and sip pink rosé with your fellow adventurers to top off your day.

Go exploring with your yacht mates and discover the Scandola Nature Reserve in Corsica, located on a volcano that collapsed into the sea, covering around 4 miles of protected land and sea in the Balearic Islands. Enjoy some shopping with your boating companions in Marché de Pape’ete on Tahiti. Treat yourself to the traditional Tahitian food and local vanilla bean ice cream before returning to your boat.

Island hopping the Bahamas is best done on a by the cabin charter, where you can sample conch salad, fried chicken, reggae DJs at the ‘Fish Fry’ for lunch, and be exploring underwater wrecks and reef systems at Runway Wall by the late afternoon.

For a day cruising the Exumas, visit Thunderball Grotto (the site of the 1965 James Bond film), an underwater cave system teeming with luminous marine life. If you’re craving more animal sightings, visit Big Major Cay, one of the biggest attractions in the Exumas for the pigs who roam the waters and shoreline.

Cabin charters in the BVI get you up-close with the RMS Rhone, a shipwreck from 1867 on Salt Island, and let you step onto Josiah’s Bay, a dramatic strand of beach with some of Tortola’s best surfing and beach bars. Island hopping the Maldives starts with a 6am descent into the waters of Hammerhead Point for a hammerhead shark encounter.
