Included in your sailing trip
Life on board
What does a typical day on board look like?
Morning
You wake up in a cosy harbour or bay. Maybe you enjoy the first warming rays of sun with a coffee on the foredeck, or start the day with a dip in the sea. Soon your host serves a delicious breakfast buffet on board the boat and we go over the day’s route on the nautical chart.
Mid-Morning
After breakfast it’s time to set sail. No matter if you have plenty of sailing experience or none at all, this trip is a good fit. It’s completely up to you how active you want to be on board the boat. Take a seat behind the helm, socialise in the cockpit, or enjoy a book in the sun on the foredeck.
Lunchtime
In the middle of the day we stop in a peaceful bay where we anchor for lunch, sun and swimming. There is plenty of time here to enjoy the surroundings, swim in the crystal clear water, or take a stand up paddle board to the nearest beach. There is also a shared lunch prepared with local ingredients, which your host serves on board.
Afternoon
In the afternoon, it’s time to set sail once more and continue on to the evening’s port, village or bay where you will spend the night. Make sure to keep an eye out for dolphins along the way. Some light snacks are served on arrival and the skipper explains more about the day’s destination.
Evening
In the evenings, there is plenty of time to explore your new destination, enjoy the local cuisine at one of the restaurants, eat ice cream and browse in the shops. Feel free to ask your hosts for their best tips and hidden gems.

Sail with a skipper and a host
A sailing charter with a skipper and host is about more than just the destination. From the moment you step aboard the sailboat, an eventful yet relaxing holiday awaits you, filled with sun, swimming, sailing, good food and adventures. On board the boat there is a skipper and host who take care of the cooking, planning and sailing – letting you unwind and enjoy your holiday.
Sailing with a skipper gives you the opportunity to discover otherwise hard-to-reach places, as the crew guide you to new destinations every day. Discover tranquil coves, picturesque villages, white-sand beaches and turquoise lagoons that are perfect for snorkelling. Whether you have previous sailing experience or not, a sailing trip with More Sailing is right for you. It’s completely up to you how active you want to be on board the boat – one reason why our trips are so popular.

FAQs
What is included in a sailing trip?
Every sailing trip with a skipper and host includes:
Qualified and certified skipper with local knowledge and extensive sailing experience
A host who serves breakfast and lunch, including a drinks package on board the boat
A berth in a double cabin on the boat
Bed linen and towels
Other boat expenses such as port fees, LPG and diesel
Also included in our sailing trips are return flights from selected airports and return transfers from the airport to the marina
Additional costs for you as a guest are evening meals ashore and spending money for any shopping or other purchases during the trip.
What’s it like to stay on board one of our boats?
Staying on a boat isn’t so different from being at home – the main difference is that there is limited space, water and electricity on board. That’s why it’s a good idea to think about saving water and take shorter showers, especially when you are moored to a buoy or at anchor.
You will stay in a private cabin aboard a catamaran or yacht, depending on which trip you book. Each cabin sleeps two people, so if you’re travelling alone, you will share a cabin with another guest. Depending on the boat model, guests will sleep in either double beds or bunk beds.
All our boats have comfortable beds, a kitchen (galley), showers and toilets, as well as areas for socialising including the cockpit, parts of the foredeck and the saloon inside the boat.
Whilst sailing, you can charge your phone via a 12V power socket. When moored in a marina with access to shore-side electricity, you can charge via a 220V power socket.
Some of our boats have generators – when the generator is running you can use the 220V power socket without being connected to shore-side electricity.
Harbours often have showers and toilets you can use, depending on the destination.
What’s it like having a host on board?
On board the boat you are in safe hands with the crew; they take care of everything and make sure you’re having a good time. Meals on board the boat are prepared and served by the host, so you can relax and enjoy the trip. Our sailing trips always include breakfast, lunch and a drinks package (water, soft drinks, wine/beer with meals). You will eat dinner ashore in the harbour towns and villages we arrive at in the evenings, and these are at your own expense. Don’t hesitate to ask for tips on the best local restaurants – we’ll be happy to share our favourites!
What’s it like to sail with a skipper?
A sailing trip with a skipper is the perfect holiday if you want to relax and enjoy, but also take an active part in sailing and other fun experiences. The skipper steers the boat, is responsible for safety, and helps to plan the route. Our skippers are not only professionals, they also know where to find the best islands, restaurants and bays for swimming. The skipper sleeps on board the boat but always has their own cabin, and is available whenever needed.
In addition to extensive sailing experience, our skippers hold certifications such as the Coastal Skipper Examination, Boat Skipper licence C and Short Range Certificate (SRC) licence. All our staff undergo thorough training arranged by More Sailing in Sweden and Croatia.
What is the difference between a catamaran and a yacht?
On our sailing trips you can choose between two different types of boat – yachts (monohull boats) and catamarans. A yacht offers more of a classic feeling of sailing as the boat tilts and the sailing is generally better. A catamaran is more stable, has larger social spaces and is often better suited to larger groups or families who prioritise relaxation and socialising over sailing. Whichever boat you choose, an exciting and eventful journey awaits! Our boats accommodate between 8 and 10 guests, depending on the model.
Who are the other guests onboard the boat?
We understand that it can feel strange not knowing who the other passengers are, but there is no need to worry. Our guests are a wonderful mix of inquisitive travellers who have chosen to take a sailing trip together with other people. We welcome people of all ages on our sailing trips but we also offer specific holidays for seniors, solo travellers or with a focus on exercise – you’re sure to find the perfect trip for you.
What should I pack for a sailing trip?
Packing for a sailing trip is much like packing for any other holiday in the sun. Keep in mind that sunlight reflects off the water around the boat, so it’s a good idea to bring extra sun cream or a shirt/sarong and good sunglasses. Make sure you also pack a soft bag you can easily fold up and put away on the boat; hard cases take up a lot of space in the cabins.
Good to have with you:
Sunglasses
High SPF sun cream
Hat or cap
Swim shoes or sandals
Shoes for wearing on board the boat should only have light-coloured or white soles, though it’s always best to go barefoot
Insect repellent
A few swimming costumes
Books and games
Snorkelling equipment
Seasickness tablets (if you tend to get seasick)
Light raincoat or windbreaker
Spare beach towel (one towel per person is provided. Sheets and pillowcases are also included)
Psst: It’s a good idea to pack a change of clothes in your cabin bag in the unlikely event that your checked luggage is delayed. It may be useful to have a few clothes, swimsuits and a toothbrush in your cabin bag.
Can I hire a stand-up paddle board (SUP)?
If you want to, you can hire a SUP for your boat. Let us know and we’ll see what’s available!
What about insurance and cancellation if something happens?
You can find more information about insurance and what happens in the event of cancellation in our travel terms and conditions.
