How does it works

Define Your Dream Trip

Your adventure begins with a conversation. I will take the time to get to know you and your group, learning about your ideal sailing trip. Whether it’s a peaceful getaway with family, an adventurous trip with friends, or a romantic voyage, we’ll discuss your dream destinations, preferred sailing dates, and any special activities or experiences you want to include.

Book your trip

Once your dream trip is crafted, I’ll send you a detailed itinerary along with all booking details.
I’ll take care of securing the perfect boat for your journey and ensure everything is set for your adventure. From providing helpful packing tips to booking any additional experiences, I’ll make sure you’re fully prepared for the trip of a lifetime.

Embark on boat

On your departure day, I will be waiting for you at the harbor, ready to welcome you aboard. I will show you to your cabin, introduce you to the boat’s amenities, and make sure you’re comfortable before you set sail. From the moment you board, your journey begins. Relax, and start making memories.

Enjoy Your adventure

Throughout the trip, you’ll enjoy stunning views, exciting adventures, and unforgettable experiences.
Whether you’re exploring new islands, enjoying watersports, or simply relaxing on deck, every moment is designed to offer you the perfect balance of adventure and relaxation.

About me

My name is Daniel — I’m a retired Swiss entrepreneur and passionate sailor with over 40 years of experience navigating some of the most breathtaking waters around the globe.

Sailing has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. What began as a personal passion soon became something I wanted to share — not just the beauty of the sea, but the unique feeling of freedom, simplicity, and connection that comes with life onboard.

Over the years, I’ve organized more than 340 sailing trips across 65+ destinations, from the quiet coves of the Mediterranean to the vibrant islands of Southeast Asia and the Caribbean. Each trip has been an opportunity to bring people together — friends, families, and often complete strangers — to create unforgettable moments far from the rush of daily life.

What drives me is not just the sailing itself, but the experience we create together. I take joy in crafting voyages where everyone feels at ease, where days flow with the wind, and where lasting memories are made — over shared meals, quiet sunsets, and laughter under the stars.

I believe that the sea has a special way of bringing out the best in us: simplicity, curiosity, and a deeper appreciation for the present moment. Whether you’re new to sailing or already hooked, I’d love to welcome you aboard and share this passion with you.
