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.

Best trip I've had! I spent a week on the boat travelling around Sicily. The trip was well thought out, with the option to opt in or out of any hikes and activities. The crew on board were super welcoming and made me feel very comfortable and extremely well taken care of throughout the trip. The boat was also well equipped with anything you could ever need, and the food was amazing! It was a beautiful experience full of amazing views, great connections and a perfect balance of relaxation and activity. Honestly I can’t recommend them enough. Will definitely be booking another trip with pirates of paradise 🫶🏼

I had a very nice and relaxing week with the Pirates. Yenzi does a great job as skipper and, despite the sailing and organizational stress, always has an open ear and time for conversation. Along with Yenzi, other Pirates crew members were on board who made sure that cooking, washing up, and cleaning up went smoothly. I've never experienced anything like that before. Simply outstanding! The pre-planned meals were always delicious and imaginative and even catered to me, a non-vegan. The boat has several upgrades and offers so many amenities that charter boats can't offer! Because the crew lives on the boat permanently, it's much more homely and lovingly furnished. I find little mementos of past trips everywhere in the boat, which quickly makes you feel at home. Overall, Pirates of Paradise simply puts more attention to detail, and in this respect, Yenzi and his crew are way ahead of larger providers. Definitely a reason for me to come back.

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.

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!

One of the best vacations I've taken. It was the perfect mix of tension in secluded bays, celebrations in awesome locations and nice get-togethers. The yacht was also modern and in good condition. Only recommended!

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

I had an incredibly nice sailing trip with the Pirates. With lots of good food, spontaneous adventures and great people! After a week it felt like a family. I can recommend it 1000%.

For the cool kids. We were on a crossing as a couple. This is not an officially advertised trip, but it is just as commercial and set up with the same general conditions. Basically, everything is as described on the website: the crew is nice, the waters and destinations are amazing, and we cook fresh and delicious vegan food together every day. I think the idea and concept are great, but I see room for improvement in the implementation. Unfortunately, criticism was reacted to very sensitively and dismissed as very far-fetched. I therefore don't want to go into my own personal impression any further, I think it just wasn't a good fit on a human level. In my opinion, the following things are important to know before booking a trip with Pirates: The trips are designed for young people. This is also how it is described on the website and this is also reflected in everyday life, which is free and flexible, at times unstructured and chaotic. I myself am in my mid-30s and consider myself to be quite a free spirit, but at times I felt really old and worn out. The conditions on board are cramped. Some crew members do not have their own cabin and sleep in the common area or on deck. During our stay on board, a toilet was also broken, which smelled and looked very unpleasant. The heat below deck is sometimes unbearable, especially when cooking, and sleep is out of the question on warm nights. If mosquitoes have found their way on board or the crew, who were previously too tired to wash up, turn up the volume again and make a fuss right above your bunk... you will feel a few years older by the next morning at the latest. But still: you can cope with little sleep and privacy for a week, it's worth it. I would recommend everyone to see for themselves... just don't do too many Insta stories, otherwise you'll miss the real magic of this tour.

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.

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.

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!

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!

Incredibly great trip with beautiful nature and a great route through Croatia. The boat is very spacious and offers a level of comfort that is not usually found on charter boats. The crew is very nice and knows their job. I would be happy to go back anytime!

We spent a week with Pirates on a sailing trip in Mallorca as part of an educational leave program. It was my first time on a sailboat, so I didn’t really know what to expect. :D The boat was very well equipped, with cozy cabins and plenty of spots to relax (and even plenty of space for individual and group work as part of our educational program). We got delicious food three times a day — including a pizza night with a high-end pizza oven while enjoying the sunset. There was 24/7 access to snacks, fruit, coffee and tea — basically no chance for tired or hangry brains onboard. Everything being fully vegan, they were also really thoughtful about my slightly picky eater preferences (haha), which I really appreciated. 🫶🏽 And we actually sailed. The crew really gave their all to make the experience unforgettable for everyone. They even sacrificed a full night of sleep to sail us from Cabrera to the north of Mallorca so we could wake up in crystal clear turquoise water and spend the next days learning and swimming in beautiful bays. Even when the sea and weather conditions got a bit rough at times, we always felt completely safe and well taken care of. One of my highlights was seeing a completely different side of Mallorca — pure nature, hidden bays and places you would probably never get to experience from land (we even saw dolphins). The whole crew was professional, welcoming and just created a nice atmosphere throughout the trip. There’s clearly a lot of effort, experience and heart behind the whole Pirates concept. It was a unique mix of adventure, learning new things and meeting new people which I’d recommend to anyone. Huge thanks to Yenzi, Mara and the whole crew 🤍⛵
