Making Waves – Small group adventure sailing
Original post: Another World Adventures
Small groups, amazing destinations and incredible ocean experiences.
There are few places as wild and unexplored as the open ocean. And if you’re going to explore it you’ll want to do so with an accomplished and experienced skipper alongside you at the helm.
That’s why we’re really happy with our newest additional to the Another World Adventures operator family!
The skippers bringing these small group (max 6 guests) ocean voyages to life have at least half a million nautical miles under their belts so you’ll be learning from the best.
Think small groups, amazing destinations and incredible ocean experiences.
Whether you want the mileage for an RYA Ocean qualification, the thrill of taking a small boat to incredible destinations or the privilege of a sailing masterclass with hugely experienced Skippers, they’ll make it happen.
The outfit was started by two passionate adventurers, Andrew and David – known to everyone as “Wavy”, who met on a round-the-world sailing trip. Wavy was already an experienced professional skipper with over 600,000 miles of sailing behind him, a lifetime of living and working on boats and a highly respected RYA instructor with many years of teaching. Andrew had quit a corporate career to follow his explorer instinct (sounds familiar and we like it!!).
They shared a desire to encourage people, not just to learn to sail, but to really experience Ocean life. To feel the thrill of sailing big ocean passages on a small boat and arrive at remote, undiscovered places. To make it ‘real’ where guests get fully involved – learning about passage planning, provisioning and great sailing – while supported by skippers with incredible experience.
And so they founded their sailing company a simple idea – to create exceptional, bespoke sailing adventures with the world’s most experienced skippers.
3 Reasons we love their trips
- Sail with a world record-breaking skipper, a Golden Globe entrant or a multi-time circumnavigator … their Skippers have over 1.5 million Ocean miles between them and are true sailing legends
- Expect a small group experience with a 1-2-1 personalised approach. What this means in reality is that each voyage is more or less tailored to the needs of the guest crew to make sure everyone gets what they need (dream) out of it.
- Sail in the world’s most epic places be it Cape Town to St Helena (via Namibia!), a masterclass in Croatia or ten days of bucket list adventure sailing in the Scottish Isles with more trips being added to the roster each year.
