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 Google. I was in Italy for the first time in 2020 and it was my first sailing trio ever - I felt comfortable right from the start! I can also recommend the trip as a solo traveler because you are well integrated into the group. Overall I can say that I have made great memories and friends :)

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I loved my week sailing with the pirates.

This was my first sailing week and I was particularly attracted by the vibe that they are trying to create. This is not a big corporate company. They own their own two boats and you really feel at home.

That can come with a little chaos. But if you are prepared to just go with the flow and understand life at sea doesn't always go to plan, you'll find a wonderful safe space to disconnect.

I'll be coming back.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I spent a week with Pirates of Paradise on a trip from Montenegro to Albania. I'd sailed a few times before with friends and family, so I knew roughly what to expect. However, I didn't expect that the excellent organization, the very cool skipper crew, and the generally relaxed atmosphere would make you feel so "at home" on the boat so quickly. I had a really good time, so I can definitely recommend it!

Sailermoon and Songoku in Sa Calobra Bay, Torrente de Pareis, near Sóller/Mallorca. ⛵️🌅 It was my first sailing trip and I'm absolutely thrilled. Great crew, delicious food, unique spots. I discovered Mallorca in a whole new way. Highly recommended. Thank you so much for this amazing experience! 💙🧡💚

 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.

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!

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 🌞

Yenzi and his crew do such an amazing job to make it the best experience for everyone. The boats are so comfortable and clean and always feels like a beautiful, safe space to be. Beyond grateful that I had this experience!! Cannot wait for my next trip.
Thank you so much.

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

Definitely one of the best weeks of my life with the Pirates in Sicily! The crew and other travelers made it feel like being among friends rather than a tour group, which made the trip really special. I loved the slow mornings and flexible schedule with a great balance between sailing time, group activities, and free time on land to recharge. You can also get as involved with sailing as you want and learn a thing or two about how the boat works. And the food on board is amazing too! Just keep in mind that it’s appreciated if everyone gets involved a bit with cooking or cleaning. Couldn’t recommend it more!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were on the Volcano Route in Italy and it was amazing. You get to know a lot of people very quickly and after just a few days you feel like a little family. It's all a bit improvised, spontaneous and not planned until the last second, but that gives it an extra charm! Anytime again, great trip, great crew, great Yenzi, Pirates of Paradise <3

The south of Croatia is beautiful, we were able to spend a few nights in secluded bays. The food was also great and the order was taken care of 👌🏼 The tour with Pirates is great for spending a few days in nature and meeting interesting people.

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.

 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 🧡

Good planning and implementation, I/we were never disappointed. In short, if you've never sailed before and want to have a great vacation, you should take the experience with you here!

I had an absolutely incredible week with Pirates of Paradise and would recommend it 10/10 to anyone looking for a unique sailing adventure.

The trip had the perfect balance between relaxation and activity. Life on the boat was super chill, but at the same time we were able to get involved in sailing and learn more about life at sea. We visited beautiful national parks and nature parks, explored stunning coastlines, and spent nights anchored in secluded bays where we often had the entire place to ourselves.

I'm usually neither vegan nor vegetarian, but honestly, I never missed anything. The food was fantastic, varied, and delicious throughout the whole trip.

What really made the experience special was the crew. Everyone was incredibly welcoming, fun, and easy to spend time with. The same goes for the other guests on board. By the end of the week, it felt much more like sailing with friends than being on a tour.

I’d do this trip again in a heartbeat. A huge thank you to the entire crew and everyone who shared this unforgettable week.

Thanks again,
Ömmes
