Corinth Route

Due to high demand, we’ve launched a new kind of trip last year: the Sail & Learns. These journeys are perfect for those who love to sail or want to learn the ropes. There’s only one thing set in stone: the starting and ending port. How we get there? That’s up to the wind and weather. Unlike our regular trips, Transfers focus more on the sailing itself and less on a fixed itinerary or lazy bay-hopping. From night passages to quiet anchor stops, anything can happen. It’s the real vagabond life at sea, just like those who live aboard their sailboats year-round. And since we cover more miles on these trips, they’re also ideal for collecting the mandatory miles for your sailing license. Sounds interesting?

Where learning to sail feels like an adventure.

Sail & Learn puts you in the cockpit, not in the audience. You become part of the crew, take on real responsibilities and build hands-on sailing experience mile by mile, with the sea setting the pace.

Is this sailing Trip right for me?

Sail & Learn is for people who want more than a holiday. It is for beginners with zero sailing experience and for those who have been on the water before and want to build real confidence, collect sea miles and spend more time actually sailing.

You do not need any prior experience. What you need is curiosity, a sense of adventure and the willingness to be part of a crew.

What will I learn on a Sail & Learn trip?

You will build real, hands-on sailing experience as part of the journey itself. There is no classroom, no fixed curriculum. What you learn depends on the conditions and the route, and that is what makes it real.
Skills you may pick up along the way:

Steering and basic manoeuvres
Sail handling and trimming
Knots and rope work
Reading wind and weather
Watch systems and night sailing
Teamwork and communication on board
The rhythm and responsibilities of daily boat life

You learn one mile at a time, naturally, as the trip unfolds.

How is Sail & Learn different from other Sailing Trips?

Most sailing vacations put you on a boat as a passenger. Sail & Learn puts you on a boat as crew.

There is no floating hotel, no fixed sightseeing schedule and no itinerary that has to be followed no matter what. Wind and weather shape the route. The crew works together. You are not just watching the journey happen. You are part of what makes it happen.

That is what makes Sail & Learn more raw, more real and often far more rewarding than an ordinary Sailing Trip.

What is life on board actually like?

It’s close, simple and genuine. You share a space with your crew, cooking and eating together, taking turns on watch and enjoying the sunset from the same deck.

Some moments are active and demanding. Others are slow and quiet. Morning coffee in the cockpit, long passages under sail, night watches under open sky, shared meals below deck. It is this mix of intensity and stillness that makes life at sea something you do not forget.

What should I expect from a Sailing Trip like this?

Flexibility is part of the deal. Routes shift with the wind. Plans change. Comfort on board is real but simple, not luxurious. Days can be long, salty and physically tiring.

If you are looking for a polished resort experience, this is not your trip. If you are looking for a genuine sailing vacation where you actually learn, contribute and feel the sea, you are exactly where you need to be.

What do I take home from a Sail & Learn Trip?

More than photos. You leave with new sailing skills, real sea miles under your belt, and a confidence on the water that only comes from having actually done it.

Most people also take home something harder to name: the feeling of having been fully present. Close to nature, shaped by wind and water, part of something that moved. You step out of your usual routine, focus on what actually matters and grow alongside people who were strangers at the start.

That tends to stay with you.

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 Trustindex. 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!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We went to Greece and didn't know exactly what to expect or what it would be like. In the end we were just thrilled, we met great new people, we had adventures and relaxation, we swam in caves, jumped off cliffs, had great food and spent wonderful evenings on the sea. The whole crew has grown close to our hearts and we definitely weren't there for the last time.

Volcano Route Italy I came alone, didn't know anyone in the group beforehand and it still felt like a vacation with good friends. Everyone on the boat, whether guests or crew, was super nice and uncomplicated. When we sailed off into the sunset on the first evening with good music and good wine, we knew immediately that it would be an unforgettable week and why so many people rave about Pirates holidays. Mille grazie and gladly again!

We had an amazing week with Pirates of Paradise with lots of sailing.
The crew is very experienced, always with safety as a priority and very friendly.
We also met some incredible people there to share the boat with.
You’ll basically going to be part of the crew, help with cooking, doing the dishes and also help with sailing, if you want. That’s what makes the trip so authentic

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.

Me and my friends had the best time with Pirates of Paradise on Croatia 4! The food on board couldn’t have been better! Especially the pizza night was one of the highlights for sure! Also, the crew took us to a lost place for sunset which was incredibly beautiful and we couldn’t have asked for better vibes on the boat.

I definitely recommend this tour and also Pirates of Paradise as a tour operator, because they really make it possible to feel comfortable with more than 10 people on a boat and you can fully zone out from the daily life stress.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thank you so much for an incredible week! I was on the Sardinia trip at the end of June and had a wonderful time. We started in Olbia and anchored in beautiful bays on our way to Bonifacio in Corsica 🌊. The week was the perfect mix of relaxed mornings in the sun, a bit of partying, good music, funny moments and in-depth conversations. The group grew together really quickly and I felt at home right from the start. The incredibly great and caring crew made the whole trip an unforgettable experience. 🥰 The food was super tasty, varied, vegan and freshly cooked with love every day of the trip. Thanks to the amazing crew, a completely gluten-free version of all dishes was also possible. The trip was an unforgettable time with so many great experiences, new impressions and incredibly great people, an adventure that I can recommend to everyone ☀️.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It's a completely different holiday experience when you're at sea most of the time. You get a completely different view of the country and the landscape. I booked into Pirates of Paradise with 5 of my best friends and we had an amazing time together. The Pirates boys are all in a good mood and have a very family atmosphere. The skippers are great and make everyone have fun. (Thanks to Marius & Johanna <3) It definitely wasn't the last time I booked myself there!

The feeling on board a pirate boat....??? - I would like to describe it, but you have to experience it for yourself. I've been able to take part twice now and I'd say we'll see each other on the next trip :-)!

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!).

 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. It was an exciting trip. We sailed, chilled within a storm without any inconvenience. Also if wanted we could join in more adventures hiking trips. In the night we could sleep on the deck right under the stars. The route was very beautiful and was easily adapted if the weather changed. We also had special showers initiated by the Skipper. He showed us how to reduce our water usage. Thus we also learned to appreciate water and in general the hole trip was very eco friendly. Also the Skipper is a very nice and comforting person.
I loved it, the food was great and I would recommend it to anyone.
