Castle Route

Sailing the Adriatic: Sun, Castles, and Turquoise Bays

In the shade of our sails, we soak up the warm summer sun on deck. Sailing along the Adriatic, past endless sandy beaches and lush green landscapes, we anchor in turquoise bays as the sun slowly sets. We cool off with a refreshing swim, snorkel in crystal-clear waters, and watch magical sunsets unfold.

We dock in Dubrovnik to explore its impressive city walls and fortress. Game of Thrones fan or not, you’ll love wandering the charming old town with its winding streets. Grab a burek to go, browse small souvenir shops, enjoy a fresh drink, there’s so much to discover.

Croatia is wonderfully diverse. Just as stunning as the sea are the old towns nestled in the fjords. Stroll along the streets, explore the mainland, and take short hikes to breathtaking viewpoints, this journey is as exciting as it is varied.

Yoga Special

This season, we’re offering a Yoga Trip in Croatia for the first time. Every day, we’ll be offering yoga sessions to help you unwind and find more balance during your trip. You can join in any morning (or evening) you like, it’s all up to you, and there’s no extra charge for these classes. Whatever you’re into, whether it’s a gentle yoga session to start your day, a calming meditation or some light breathing exercises, you can enjoy it at your own pace.

This is our first yoga trip, and if it goes well, we’d love to offer it again in the coming years. Whether you’re an experienced yogi or just looking to unwind, it’s all about stretching and enjoying the beautiful surroundings.

If this new experience is as great as we hope it’ll be, we’d love to make it a regular part of our Trips in the future!

The yoga sessions are there if you want to join in, but you don’t have to if you’d rather not. It’s all about making space for everyone to chill out and enjoy the amazing views at their own pace.

Philosophy

This is what Pirates stands for

Individual travel

Those who know us know that we focus on quality instead of quantity. For us, it's the person behind every booking that counts! With us, small group sizes instead of mass tourism are the order of the day.

Group feeling

As a small organizer, this is our hobbyhorse. Pizza nights, road trips, night hikes, funny stories. Be prepared for teamwork on board and shared experiences that you won't soon forget!

Safer space

It is important to us that every guest feels comfortable on board, regardless of their origin or sexual orientation. Therefore, for us it is quite clear: There is no place for racism, sexism, homophobia or discrimination of any kind! Solo female travelers can also count on a guaranteed female cabin pairing, so you always feel at ease on board.

Sustainability

We care about nature! We design our trips to be as environmentally friendly as possible. Our focus is on protecting the sea - we let ourselves drift with the wind, rely on environmentally friendly soaps and avoid unnecessary waste. Our merch is fair trade - even our web host is green!

Plant-based

Vegan lifestyle and a memorable vacation? With us, nothing stands in the way. We cook vegan food on our yachts. During our joint restaurant visits ashore, you’ll have the chance to enjoy local dishes. So if you eat milk products, eggs or meat, you won’t miss out on land either.

Creativity and freedom

We are hungry for adventure and want to experience something. Freedom and creativity have been driving Pirates of Paradise since day 1. With us you can live your life to the fullest!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Pirates of Paradise is by far the most welcoming and authentic sailing trip provider I have ever come across. Everyone is welcome, and nobody feels left out. They truly care about sustainability and zero waste, and everything is completely vegan and feminist. Especially as a woman, I felt very comfortable and safe on the boats.

Our skipper Maurice was incredibly relaxed and taught us how to sail, which was such an exciting and rewarding experience. Meals on board are taken care of, and the volunteers, with the support of the guests, prepare delicious, balanced vegan meals. The boat is very well equipped and has a cozy atmosphere.

I felt completely comfortable throughout the entire week. A huge thank you to the crew and to Yenzi for making this experience so special.

The only very small downside was that sometimes it felt like nobody was entirely sure what the plan was, and things could get a little chaotic at times. Also, the advertised cozy pizza night, which was supposed to be included in the trip, ended up being a dinner at a rather unrelaxed restaurant, which was a little disappointing.

Nevertheless, the week was absolutely worth it, and I am grateful that I got to be part of this crew. I will definitely sail with Pirates of Paradise again!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We did a transfer from Sardinia to Mallorca, and it was my first time solo travelling on a sailing ship with complete strangers, but pirates of paradise made me feel right at home, facilitating an environment of trust, safety and familiarity we all got to enjoy. We were a group of just 10 people with different levels of experience in sailing (from none to fully skipper trained) and during the week of sail and learn we also had time to take it easy and make the most out of the days and the weather. This was an unforgettable experience, very personal deeply connecting and fully engaging that I will 100% recommend to anybody that dears to create meaningful connections with themselves, the crew and Nature. Thanks for the memories, the hugs, the dance, the food, the conversation and al the love to pirates of paradise.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I couldn't have imagined my first sailing experience better!! Immersed in another world where you can be rocked to sleep in the evening with a breeze on your face and woken up in the morning by the most beautiful sunrises. The rest of the time was filled with new encounters, exciting and beautiful places, funny activities, lively conversations, great musical accompaniment, inspiring kitchen sessions and even dreamy looks towards the horizon. Thank you very much! And I'm ready for round 2 😏😍

Pirates is such a unique adventure! Waking up every morning to the breathtaking fjords of Montenegro felt like a dream, but what truly made the experience magical were the beautiful people and incredible crew I shared the week with (Shoutout Crew: Yenzi, Julien, Iulia, Lou, and Max). As a solo traveler from Boston, I felt so welcomed and would absolutely recommend this trip to other Americans considering the journey. (Pro tip: if you start to feel seasick, try singing—it surprisingly works!).

It really was a perfect perfect perfect experience!

The vegan food was completely new for me, and it was incredibly delicious and surprisingly diverse. Every meal was thoughtfully prepared and always something to look forward to. Help is always welcomed and it was always such a fun time.

One thing I really appreciated was that we always tried to stay away from crowded places. We got to experience beautiful spots without feeling overwhelmed by tourism, which made the whole trip feel much more authentic and relaxing.

I’ve never felt so welcome in a group before. It truly felt like a safe space where everyone was positive, open-minded, and supportive. I learned so much about myself and the people around me.

I never thought it was possible to feel this loved, accepted, and free from judgment after only one week. The connections I made during this trip are something I’ll carry with me for a very long time.

The crew was absolutely amazing!! So kind, approachable, and always there if you needed anything. No matter the question or concern, you could always come to them.

The slow mornings were perfect. You could go swimming before breakfast, do a yoga session, read a book, enjoy the view, or simply sleep in. There was no pressure just time to enjoy yourself.

And if you’re interested in sailing, there’s plenty of opportunity to learn and get involved. The crew is happy to teach, and you can actively help with sailing the boat.

I would recommend this trip to anyone looking for adventure, relaxation, meaningful connections, and an unforgettable experience. 🤍

Thanks to every single guest and crew from 2026 4th week in sardinia!! 🫶🏼

I can‘t put it in words how grateful I am for this experience! But I‘ll give it a try:

The crew and everyone, who were with me on this boat, are so lovely, warm-hearted and kind people, which made me feel very seen and understood since the first second. I learned a lot in this week about myself, about sailing, about loving and appreciating nature and especially about delicious vegan food and its advantages - never eat vegan before and I was so excited to try it out!

Big shoutout to every single person, who made the trip unforgettable. We swam every day in the ocean, enjoyed every meal as a community and even connected the two boats together, when it was possible, so we were a bunch of people who jammed with the guitar or just chatting and stargazed.

I can tell, this vacation has a special place in my heart and it was one of a kind. Highly recommend it!

I had a wonderful time with Pirates of Paradise in Sicily. The crew was such a great match, was very friendly and everyone took great care of us. It was a good mix of activities on land and relaxing time on the boat. Everything was organized in such a way that it was easy to just enjoy and go with the flow. The boat is very comfortable furnished, so you immediately feel at home and can quickly settle into the group and get to know new people. Sicily is definitely worth a visit. This was my first solo trip and I am very happy I did it with Pirates. I would definitely do it again!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What an adventure! I was on board on the Croatia trip and I have to say it was just a great experience. 1 week on the sailboat felt like never ending & so decelerating. It was just a great combination of the right people, a lot of fun, a little storm, a little learning to sail. I'm taking some new, great friendships with me from this week and my renewed enthusiasm for sailing. Wasn't the last time :)

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I went to Italy this year (Vulcano Route) and it was the best and most beautiful vacation of my life! ⛵️ I've never been sailing before and I didn't know anyone from vacation before. But the impressions on Instagram made me definitely want to be part of this journey. And it was really worth it! ☺️ After the week it felt like we had known everyone for a lot longer, even though they were all strangers a few days ago. 🥰 From a volcano hike at sunrise to swimming in the water at night and watching the starry sky, everything was there. 😊 So I can really recommend anyone who wants to go on a trip like this to have this experience with Pirates of Paradise! And feel free to do the trip alone 😊 Thanks to Yenzi and the whole Pirates of Paradise team for making these trips and incredible experiences possible 🧡

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. One of the best trips I have ever been on. The guests and crew on the boat were super relaxed and fun, it felt like we had known each other forever. The Croatia trip was really nice, we stayed in several beautiful bays and marinas. Yenzi is such a good person, if you have a problem he helps you straight away, if you want he explains a few things about sailing and you can help him.
Looking forward to next time
