A MedSailors sailing holiday offers the perfect balance of culture, sailing, nightlife and island exploration. Party in some of the best towns in Europe, explore famous ancient ruins, swim in the crystal-clear waters of the Mediterranean while island-hopping and enjoying an authentic sailing adventure.

MEETING PEOPLE

Whether you’re travelling solo, with a friend or in a group, we take time to ensure you’ll be going on your trip of a lifetime with likeminded people of a similar age. And as you’ll be sailing in smaller flotillas of between five to seven yachts, you’ll have the chance to make plenty of new friends.

OUR ROUTES

As the original sailing holiday company for 20-35year-olds, our routes are tried and tested, taking in the very best of what the Mediterranean has to offer. Our routes include more islands and more stops than any other operator. Our yachts also have access to stunning villages, marinas and bays unavailable to larger motorised boats.

NO HIDDEN COSTS

You won’t be hit with a huge bar bill at the end of your trip, as MedSailors offers a unique bring-your-own policy, so you can take alcohol and snacks on board your yacht free of charge. We also supply unlimited drinking water at no extra cost. You will be feasting on a fresh breakfast and lunch from local produce every day, all included in the price of your holiday.

A SAILING HOLIDAY

You’ll be travelling around the Med on board a stylish sailing yacht. Sailing is at the heart of everything we do. In 2010, MedSailors was founded by three Kiwis after enjoying amazing sailing trips around the Med. We wanted to share that experience with others. Since then, we’ve built ourselves up to be industry leaders, offering hand-picked skippers, top-quality yachts and unbeatable sailing holidays.

Turkey TNT Prices WHAT’S INCLUDED?

Your skipper will be an rYA qualified Yacht Master so you can step up to helm and learn the ropes or sit back and relax as they share an insiders view of the best sights and places to explore.

Our skippers take pride in their culinary expertise and are armed with the highest food standards qualifications. Breakfast and lunch is freshly prepared every day, and if you have any dietary requirements please feel free to bring whatever foods you require. Not to mention our BYO policy means no hefty bar bills at the end of the trip!

WHY IS OUR SEASON IN TURKEY SO SHORT?

As turkey is located so much further south than Greece and Croatia, the peak summer months are extremely hot. You can expect mid summer temperatures to hit the high 40ºC and even a dip in the gorgeous Med will not be able to cool you down! When we sail in late August and September the intense summer heat has mellowed and you will enjoy long sunny days and balmy nights, with temperatures closer to 30ºC and hence more similar to Greece and Croatia.
