Fancy going Island hopping this year? Our SailVentures will have you island hopping the days away as you fall asleep under the stars. Live onboard as we sail to untold beauty and untouched islands. Dock up in hotspots and explore off the beaten path areas only accessible by boat. SailVentures combine exploration, adventure & jam-packed holiday bliss. Live your very best Yacht life with TruExclusives, Floatilla parties and endless beach days as you sail away in paradise!
We don’t do average. Especially not with our boats! Picture this, sailing on a 78 ft sailboat that sleeps 30 people over 15 cabins. Hot showers, air conditioning and stunning views. Our upper deck boasts a large sun deck, perfect for reading a book or catching some rays. It also features the best spots on the yacht for unreal views while we go island hopping, winning!
Let's go through the keyhole! Our lower deck houses 10 of our wonderful twin bunk rooms which includes a safe & a sink to freshen up for the day. Our upper middle deck includes a further 2 of our twin rooms, a large kitchen and communal area for dining or whatever fun game takes your fancy. Our Upper deck features 2 further twin bunk rooms and is the place to be for sunbathing, chilling, card games and more! Grab your pillow and sleep under the stars, there's not many star gazing spots that are as special and clear as this one!
Please note that "booking-wise" the boat is split in to two! The lower deck cabins are slightly cheaper and these are not ensuites. The other option for cabins is our mid and upper deck cabins (these are both the same price), these rooms are all the same size and have bunk beds and an en-suite. The mid-deck is on the same floor as the dining room and the upper deck is up a small flight of stairs. Please contact our sales team if you would like more information on the boat layout.
