Set sail on a bareboat sailing vacation and enjoy exploring new cruising grounds from the helm and at your own pace without a set itinerary or pre-planned schedule. Decide on as many or as few overnight stops and daytime anchorages as you like and take time to make the most of every destination on your list. Self-drive your sailboat and enjoy the freedom to discover the world’s best sailing destinations from the helm.
You can opt to sail one of our suggested itineraries in your sailing destination or strike out on your own in search of adventure. In addition to your boating resume completion during the planning stages of your trip, you’ll have a thorough chart briefing prior to departing the base where cruising suggestions and safe boating guidelines for your destination will be addressed by our staff. We ensure you are comfortable and qualified as the Captain before leaving the docks.
Nothing says “good morning” like a fresh cup of coffee at sea. At Sunsail, our yachts come equipped with a variety of coffee-making options so you can enjoy your favourite brew while anchored in paradise. The type of coffee maker onboard can vary depending on your yacht model and destination, but here’s what you might find:
Electric Drip Coffee Machines: commonly found on catamarans with generators.
Stovetop Percolators: a traditional-style percolator perfect for use on the stove, commonly found on select monohulls in destinations like the BVI (not typically found in Mediterranean fleets).
French Presses (also known as coffee plungers): available on select boats, typically in Mediterranean bases (Croatia, Greece).
Moka Pots: a classic Italian stovetop espresso-style brewer, typically provided on yachts chartered from our Italian bases.
Please note: while coffee-making equipment is included, we can’t guarantee a specific type on a specific yacht. However, many of our bases offer essential extras, like filters or ground coffee (for purchase), so you can always come prepared or pick up what you need when you arrive.
