Absolute recommendation. I booked the trip to Italy at very short notice because I had never sailed before and wanted to try it out. Another friend of mine spontaneously jumped on board, but I wouldn't have had any problems on the boats even without him. I think the nature of this trip attracts a very similar type of person and so, without exception, all the other travelers and the crew were very relaxed, sociable and in a good mood, so that within a very short time you had a very familiar feeling in the group. From minute one, this trip was generally like a trip you booked with good friends, which is something you have to like. So it's not an all-in sailing trip, but you have to lend a hand, be it with the sailing itself or with preparing food, which in my opinion strengthens the group feeling even further. By the way, the food was consistently outstanding! Otherwise, all you can say is that it's incredibly nice to wake up in the morning and jump into the deep blue water in a bay before having breakfast together and then in the evening on the boats tied together until late at night under the stars (which are good from the sea are visible) to chat and celebrate with the new acquaintances.

volcano route italy: molto bene! Just have a good time - sun on your face, wind in your hair, sleeping on deck under the stars, jumping into the sea before breakfast 🥰 13 people on board is close, but everyone was harmonious and ultra relaxed. no dramas. Provided you have a bit of spontaneity and calmness, the trip is no problem at all, even for sailing newbies. From sundowner road trips to sleepy island villages, everything was there. The cooking was great on board, the soundtrack during the sailing sessions was on point, and the organization of the crew was uncomplicated and smooth. So all in all, 100% recommended. The only minor drawback: I would have liked to have had more sailing action! The boat was super comfy, but not too sporty - so there wasn't much to do. smooth sailing all the way.

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, the guy in the picture looking at the camera with such a big grin, would like to thank you! There's just so much - so much that hits you on a Pirates of Paradise tour and it's so amazing to be able to say that everything you take away with you is positive. I'm sure I can only speak for myself here, but at the same time I hope that many others feel and will feel the same way. Thank you for the many new impressions that I would never have been able to take with me on my other trips. I carry you in my heart and look forward to the next time.

I was on board every sailing trip from 2014-2016 and every boat tour and every moment on this “vacation” is worth more than just an experience. When it comes to sailing tours, you can always rely on a highly motivated, cheerful and well-organized organizer. Young people in particular should not be bored when it comes to travel destinations. So if you're not seasick and want to see more than just a beach on vacation, you're in the right place here and shouldn't miss out on the fun and, above all, the adventure.

I had the most amazing time with Pirates of Paradise in Sardinia! The crew are kind, funny, adventurous, and make you feel so welcome (and the food is incredible). A great option for solo travellers and I would love to join for more of the 2026 trips! :)))

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 😏😍

Better than I ever hoped for. The team is great and the solidarity and love can be felt in every second. I would travel with these people again at any time. I'm already looking forward to the next adventure with the Pirates of Paradies! 🔥☀️🥰

So far the best vacation I've ever had! Great team, nice people and a great atmosphere 😋 I think everyone should experience a holiday like this. It's just something different to spend your time on a boat. Especially because you see a lot more than just boring hotels or normal beaches. You simply experience so much more!! Gladly again 😋👍🏻

Sicily is one of the most loved routes of the Pirates for many good reasons. The nature is truly spectacular, grand volcanoes and crystal clear waters to start everyday with a swim, an absolute dream! The crew is very welcoming and they managed to turn Sailormoon into the safest place to form new connections. All the activities were such a nice addition to the sailing experience, it created a very good balance. I appreciate the efforts and the energy the crew puts into keeping Sailormoon in such a good condition, the food (everything is so fresh and it tastes amazing) and to be there for each and every trip.👏🏻 Didn’t know what to expect when I booked this sailing experience but it’s the best thing I did in a long time. See you next year! 🫶🏻

A very nice trip in northern Sardinia with stunning scenery, wonderful people, and excellent food. Pirates' concept makes the sailing trip very comfortable and a fantastic experience, with great attention to detail. I immediately felt at home! The boat is fully equipped and prepared for all weather conditions.

Cool vibes, cool people and cool views! 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

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.
