Vegan Sailing Trips across Europe

Small groups, plant-based meals and two owned boats. We sail along Europe’s coastlines, slow and easy. Feel at home, be yourself and make connections that last.

Fully plant-based kitchen, eco products only and mindful use of resources.

Creative Freedom

Room for expression, emotion and real adventure.

Pirates of Paradise runs 7-day Mediterranean sailing trips for small groups of open-minded people on two owned boats. Made with love and built around community, plant-based food and a queer-friendly safe space.

Our boats are always on the move across Europe and you join us for one chapter of a longer adventure. No sailing experience needed, we take care of everything so you can relax, be yourself and connect with others.

We are the alternative to party flotillas and charter-yacht mill operators, built for travellers aged 20 to 37 whose values come with them on holiday.

More Information

Find your next adventure

Seven days, small familiar groups, two owned boats and no hidden costs. Our boats are always on the move from coastline to coastline, country to country, all year long. Whether you are after wild coastlines, hidden coves or new connections, join us for one chapter of a longer adventure and come as you are.

Destinations

We sail along Europe’s most beautiful coastlines, exploring Italy, Portugal, Montenegro, Albania and other handpicked routes across the Mediterranean. Each trip brings its own charm and highlights, from quiet bays and lively harbor towns to hidden beaches you won’t find in any guidebook. We keep our plans flexible, following the wind and choosing the best spots for the day.

Last Minute Trips

Some of the best adventures start with a spontaneous yes. Browse our Last Minute Sales and grab one of our soon-departing Trips at a reduced price, and if that’s not enough, use code 10yrsPoP to get an extra 5% off on top.

Activities

We believe that the best adventures happen when you step off the boat and explore the world around you. Every journey we offer is more than just sailing; it’s a mix of exciting on-board experiences and unforgettable land adventures. While not every activity is available on every Trip (since it depends on the country and surrounding area) we ensure that we cover a variety of them during each journey, and they’re all included in the price.

Quick answers before you jump in

Do I need sailing experience for a Pirates of Paradise trip?

None at all. Our sailing trips are open to complete beginners. Our skippers handle everything on board. You are welcome to help set the sails, take the helm or just sit back with a coffee and watch the coast go by.

Our trips start from 890 € per person for 7 days. Prices vary depending on the destination, route and time of year.

Everything on board is included: all plant-based meals, planned activities, bedding, towels, ocean-friendly hygiene and personal care products, period supplies and all boat costs. No hidden fees, no surprises at checkout.

Book early and you get our early bird discount. The best deals go to our newsletter subscribers first.

On our sailing trips, we cook fully vegan. The whole week, no exceptions.

Our kitchen and fridge on board are small, and animal products spoil quickly in summer heat. One shared menu for everyone means less waste, less risk and more time enjoying the trip.

And we do not just cook vegan. We cook fresh, creative and full of variety. Real food, made with love. Most of our guests are not vegan and leave pleasantly surprised.

See what we eat on board

Absolutely. Most of our guests travel solo. You will share the boat with a small group of open-minded people and leave with friends you actually want to stay in touch with. No need to know anyone beforehand. That is kind of the whole point.
It is not a label we put on for marketing. Pirates of Paradise is a queer-friendly safe space where you are respected and celebrated. Our crew and guests self-select into this community. Zero tolerance for discrimination is the baseline, not the exception. If something feels off, we will address it directly.

Most sailing trips mean large groups, chartered boats and a one-size-fits-all experience. We do things differently.

Our two boats are our own and always on the move across Europe. You are not booking a package holiday, you are joining one chapter of a longer journey. Groups stay intentionally small and open-minded so everyone actually gets to know each other.

Every meal on board is fully plant-based, handled by us from shopping to cooking. No hidden costs, no surprises. And from day one, our vegan sailing trips are built as a genuine safe space, queer-friendly and inclusive not as a label but as a lived reality on board.

We are the alternative to party flotillas and charter-yacht mill operators, built for travellers aged 20 to 37 whose values come with them on holiday.
