Sailing Holidays

No! You don't need any sailing experience to enjoy our sailing holidays. Each trip has a captain and crew of varying size depending upon the group size. You can get involved in the sailing of the boat if you wish and the captain permits, otherwise, you can relax and enjoy !

Usually maximum group sizes are 8 to 12 people. Each tour page will tell you the maximum group size under the Key Details section.  Some tours are larger groups but you can easily see this on the tour pages.

Great! Lots of people who book with us are solo travellers and typically any given group is made up of 40% to 60% solo travellers.

As a solo traveller you'll be paired with someone of the same gender to share a cabin with (usually around the same age). 

If you have a tour and date or two in mind and would like to find out a little more about who has already booked, please call us or email on hello@theadventurepeople.com and we can provide some further information.

It can be scary being a solo traveller so if you'd like to talk things through and put your mind at ease please do get in touch, we are real people, no waiting times and no automated phone services!

On some tours yes and some no, we can only be sure if you get in touch with the tour you're interested in and we can help you find out.

The first thing to note is that Vegetarians and Vegan are catered for on all sailing tours. If you'd like to double check please do get in touch!

On mot sailing holidays the meals are not included. This is both to keep the price down but also to give you maximum flexibility. Sailing is (mostly) during the day time, so at breakfast you can hop ashore or the captain may have prepared something ready for the morning. 

If you're likely to be at sea during lunchtime the captain and / or guide will organise something and you may contribute to a kitty. Dinner is usually on shore where ever you may be. You can explore yourself or your guide will provide recommendations. Often groups eat together which is entirely your choice and not a prerequisite at all!

Sadly some people do get sea sick but there are some tricks to help. Here we go...

1. Ginger - at and drink lots of it. The navy swear by it.
2. Fresh Air - Simple but it helps in conjunction with
3. Looking At The Horizon
4. Seabands - basically a bracelet with a pressure point, we shall write a blog post about this as it is an interesting subject. Have a look on Amazon for a Seaband....
5. Medicine - Yes, have a chat to your pharmacist who may be able to help before you depart
