Luxurylifestyle Mag Exclusive May 2026 Special News / Luxury Seafaring Escapes That Are More Accessible, More Social And More Effortless / Publisher LLM Reporters

The idea of a sailing holiday has long been steeped in exclusivity, but for many, they are perceived as being only for a select few who know their way around a boat and the ocean, and take navigating complex routes in their stride.

But sailing holidays don’t have to be complicated, and leading sailing holiday operator More Sailing has made it its mission to make them more accessible to everyone – removing technical barriers by offering fully hosted experiences with skipper and host on board. 

Allowing guests to simply turn up and enjoy, without any planning or sailing knowledge of their own, the idea is for sailing holidays to feel effortless – setting the scene for relaxing and sociable experiences, and the chance to make memories that will last a lifetime.

Founded in 2009 on the west coast of Sweden, More Sailing offers unforgettable travel experiences worldwide, and driven by a passion for life at sea, strives to create extraordinary experiences that are tailored just to them.

From seasoned sailors to first-timers dreaming of a relaxing escape touring some of the world’s most beautiful archipelagos, there’s a sailing holiday for every type of traveller, with crewed sailing trips and private boat rentals, tailored corporate sailing retreats and even yacht ownership investment programs on offer.

Social and accessible sailing holidays

Unlike traditional sailing charters  – which usually mean renting out an entire boat – and large cruise experiences – More Sailing allows travellers to book individually, turning every adventure into a sociable experience where you can meet other like-minded individuals.

Removing thefinancial burden and organisational difficulties of chartering a boat, the operator welcomes couples to book their own private cabins, while solo travellers can opt for a space in a shared cabin, meaning there’s always someone to chat to – and that nobody is excluded from enjoying an incredible holiday at sea.

Plus, with a fully-hosted experience, there’s no need to worry about mapping out routes, planning schedules or debating over who’s going to cook the dinner; it’s all taken care of on your behalf, promising a holiday that is as relaxing as it should be.

You can expect your skipper and host to treat you more like a friend than a guest, creating a warm, social and inclusive atmosphere, rather than a formal “guest and staff” dynamic – which in a sea of stuffier sailing holiday options, is really rather refreshing.

Unforgettable destinations

A sailing holiday with More Sailing offers the chance to explore some of the world’s most breathtaking destinations, each with its unique charm and character.

Greece

Greece is known for being the perfect spot for island hopping, and here, you can sail through the glittering azure waters that surround the Ionian archipelago, taking in striking limestone cliffs along the way.

Once on dry land, you can refuel with some delicious and authentic Greek cuisine at one of the many charming tavernas, take a stroll along the seafront or spend an afternoon relaxing on the peaceful sands of a hidden cove.

Greece’s laid-back pace, scenic landscapes with olive groves, and vibrant culture make it an unmissable destination to experience, and the ideal choice for sailing holiday first-timers.

Croatia

With over 1,000 islands, Croatia also offers plenty of diversity, with one with a vibe to suit everyone. From secluded, pebbled bays with water so clear, you can see right to the bottom, to sophisticated beach clubs where you can unwind on a daybed, cocktail in hand, it’s fair to say that it’s got it all.

Its medieval towns, with narrow alleyways and cobblestone streets, promise to whisk you back in time and take you on a captivating journey through history. You can spend your days enjoying a wine tasting as part of a local vineyard tour, perusing one of the many local markets, or simply sitting at a pavement cafe with a cup of coffee, and watching the world go by.

Italy

Just off the Emerald Coast in northern Sardinia lies Italy’s answer to the Caribbean – the stunning Maddalena Archipelago. Here, the waters are as turquoise as they come, and sailing through this spectacular national park, pausing here and there for a swim or a snorkel, is a truly blissful experience.

On Sardinia, you can indulge in decadent Italian cuisine, explore quaint little towns and see how the locals live. And just a stone’s throw away is the sophisticated French island of Corsica, which you’ll stop in at along the way – the perfect way to explore two different destinations in one holiday.

Sweden

With More Sailing, you can discover Sweden’s west coast from the comfort of your luxury yacht, with its unique archipelago of thousands of islands and islets promising quite the adventure.

Highlights include sailing through Bohuslän, renowned for its charming coastal communities, tranquil inner archipelago, and well-preserved tradition – as well as dining on world-class seafood and immersing yourself in untouched nature.

While dinners are typically enjoyed ashore at guests’ own expense, breakfast, lunch and drinks, plus round-trip flights and transfers to and from the relevant marina are all included in each package

Caribbean

If you’re dreaming of a more far-flung adventure, then More sailing’s Caribbean sailing escapes are a dream come true, and will whisk you straight to the exotic waters – and shores – of some of the most beautiful tropical paradises in the world.

Snorkelling amongst colourful coral reefs, swimming with turtles, and relaxing on board your sundeck are satisfying enough, but for foodies, the Tobago Cays promises mouth-watering lobster dinners on the beach as the sun goes down at some of the best restaurants in the region.

The whole package

More Sailing’s crewed sailing trips include everything you need for a stress-free holiday, with each sailing yacht or catamaran boasting stylish and comfortable cabins and offering accommodation either in a shared cabin, or a private one for couples.

Mediterranean and Sweden holidays are seven days long in total, while Caribbean escapes last 12 days – and whichever you choose, you’ll get to visit a brand new location every day.

While dinners are typically enjoyed ashore at guests’ own expense, breakfast, lunch and drinks, plus round-trip flights and transfers to and from the relevant marina are all included in each package, as well as an experienced Swedish skipper and host – both English speaking – to guide your trip.
