Pirates of Paradise is definitely worth a trip! Was there in Croatia in 2022. The trip was incredibly fun and you can learn a lot about sailing and help out. Perfect for solo travelers as you get to meet lots of new people and work and live together as a community. Yenzi is a great organizer and host who has many exciting stories to tell.

I joined the sail&learn trip and was the best decision ever. Best crew, fantastic people and authentic sailing experience. The passion and know how of the skipper made this trip super interesting. We had the chance to learn the basics of sailing and actually supporting the crew with hands on. We got spoiled with good healthy food, pizza night, wild hiking an and movie night (choice of the movie is debatable <3). I will go back for sure for another adventure.

Yenzi knows great spots to anchor away from tourist spots and involves the crew in route/activity planning. Super equipped yacht, delicious food thanks to Marlen and the other nice sailors.

Best trip ever! The tours are magnificent whether it's sunny or rainy. Captain Yenzi makes you feel safe, and the boat is a real place of unique connections 🌊

Sicily Trip 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!

I booked one week with Pirates of Paradise for a sailing holiday and completely fell in love with sailing. My first trip was a transfer sail from Sardinia to Sicily, and I honestly had zero expectations because I had never been on a sailboat before. It turned out to be one of the best travel experiences I’ve ever had. Yenzi and the entire crew made everyone feel welcome from the very first moment. They are incredibly kind, funny, patient, and create such a relaxed atmosphere that I enjoyed my first week so much, I immediately extended my stay for another week to explore even more of the beautiful Sicilian coast by sailboat. If you’re looking for a unique way to discover Sicily, or other destinations, I can’t recommend this enough. Sailing lets you experience places from a completely different perspective, visiting beautiful bays and hidden spots you simply wouldn’t see on a typical holiday. What makes Pirates of Paradise truly special is their philosophy. They’re a vegan sailing company with delicious plant-based breakfasts, lunches, and dinners that are prepared with so much love. Every meal was fresh, varied, and incredibly tasty. Even if you’re not vegan, the food is inspiring without ever feeling pushy. On restaurant visits, everyone is free to order whatever they like, which I really appreciated. The company is also committed to being as sustainable as possible. They are plastic-free wherever they can be, and they even provide ocean-friendly shampoo, sunscreen, toothpaste, making it easy to travel more sustainably without having to think about packing everything yourself. Another thing I loved was how inclusive the atmosphere is. Pirates of Paradise is genuinely queer-friendly, and English is the onboard language, which means everyone feels included no matter where they’re from. The crew goes above and beyond to make every guest feel at home, whether you’re travelling solo or with friends. I never felt like an outsider—I felt like part of the crew. I came on board as someone who had never sailed before, and I left with a new passion. This is so much more than just a sailing trip or a holiday. It’s an experience filled with amazing people, unforgettable sunsets, beautiful anchorages, incredible food, laughter, and memories I’ll keep for a long time. If you’re thinking about booking a sailing holiday in Sicily, Sardinia, or anywhere Pirates of Paradise sails, stop thinking and just do it. I would recommend this experience to anyone, whether you’re an experienced sailor or stepping onto a sailboat for the very first time. Thank you, Yenzi and the whole Pirates of Paradise crew. I’ll definitely be back.

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

Overall, I had a great experience on this sailing trip. It was very well organized, and we had the opportunity to visit and explore so many beautiful places. The itinerary was excellent and offered a perfect balance of sailing and sightseeing. A special thanks to the crew, who were incredibly helpful, professional, and genuinely friendly throughout the trip. They created a relaxed atmosphere and were always willing to assist, making the experience even more enjoyable. The only aspects that could be improved were the limited electricity on board, which was due to not docking in marinas the whole week, and the food supplies. Most of the products (around 90%) came from Lidl rather than local producers. Since sailing is such a great way to experience the local culture, it would have been much nicer to have more fresh, locally sourced products on board, and support the local producers than the international companies.

Extraordinary trip, with a special crew and unbelievable places. This isn't an all inclusive trip, it's a unique travel experience for cool people, who are fine with small cabins and almost no privacy. Even as a introvert you can connect to new people and an awesome crew. Once in a life time experience, If you don't book a second time.

Sailing = epic Crew = very admirable and interesting people; new friends of mine Vibes = through the roof Food = so damn good This was not only an incredibly enjoyable week for me, but also a very important, introspective, truly life changing week. Starting out the week on a boat full of strangers, ending it with well bonded friendships and deep connections. Such an incredible atmosphere and vehicle to really bond with new people and learn about lots yourself. Yenzi is an awesome skipper,  curator, and fella. There is no doubt in my mind I will be back many times over

The two years (2014 & 2015) that I went on a sailing vacation with Pirates of Paradise were the most exciting, fun and literally paradisiacal vacations I have had so far. The freedom and adventure you feel when cruising the Mediterranean was indescribable. You have to experience it yourself! I would go on vacation with Pirates of Paradise again in a heartbeat, only time constraints prevented me from doing so the last few times.

I've already been on three tours. It was always fun and I experienced a lot. What I like best is the combination of adventure trip and party. Between steep cliffs and beautiful, secluded bays there is often a party metropolis.

I traveled a lot in the summer, but the sailing trips in Croatia/Mallorca were definitely a highlight. Before breakfast, snorkeling in turquoise blue water, endless conversations with others or sitting in front of you quietly looking into the distance for hours, breathing in the sea air and letting the wind blow through your hair. Jens took us to the craziest spots, steered us through the worst sea storms and stayed awake all night when we had a problem with the anchor. Thanks for everything Jens!!

Great crew, good vibes, a beautiful boat, and really good food – what more could you want? Sailing with the Pirates is not only an adventure but also the perfect way to unwind and relax. An unforgettable experience with many special moments. I'm already looking forward to the next sailing trip!

A good friend saw a post on Instagram and gave me the idea. I hadn't done anything similar before so I didn't know how the week would go. On the first day I was very happy to have embarked on this little adventure. The people were friendly and open so it wasn't difficult to get on the same wavelength. The group quickly became a small family with whom I laughed and experienced a lot. There are many beautiful moments that I could list here, such as sleeping on deck under a clear starry sky, sitting around the campfire or celebrating with the whole group. In 2021 we were on the Athens route and we have already booked another route for 2022. Best regards Stavros

That was a really nice vacation in Greece with really uncomplicated, nice people ☀️ The food was really good every day. Jumping from the deck into the sea every morning and watching the sunsets from there in the evening, just really beautiful and always a pleasure.

I spent a week sailing through Greece with Pirates of Paradise and I loved it so so much. Everyone was so kind and we really grew close as a group, even though I didn't know anybody before going. Also, Greece is beautiful - the clearest water I've ever seen. 10/10 🌞
