I speak with every person before they join a trip, because I want to know who is stepping aboard and what they hope the week will give them. After 700+ guests, that call is still my favourite part of the job.

If you've ever wondered why I'm always on a yacht, here is my honest answer. Out there the only things to think about are the wind and what's for dinner, and somewhere around day three my guests start to feel it too 😄

Bring the person you would put down as your emergency contact, and see what happens when you are both in the same weather, on the same winch, somewhere between Tenerife and La Gomera 😉

We asked our students the same question they always get asked at home: was the sailing course worth it? Here is what they actually said, in their own words 👆

Every time I pitch this to a friend they say “yes” before I finish the sentence, and I get it 😏 It is warm water in the middle of winter, a yacht, and a week with people you have not met yet.

Sailing in the Canary Islands this December, 12 to 19, and this is what "a calm week off" actually turns into 😄

Over 80% of our guests had never sailed before the day they boarded, and groups stay at 8 to 9 people per yacht 🤍

Somewhere between the marina and the first anchorage they always go missing, and I have honestly stopped looking for them 🌊

One week sailing trip around Ibiza and Formentera. You swim off the back of the yacht before coffee, and by Wednesday nobody at breakfast is checking their phone 🌊 Up to nine people on board, a flexible route through Formentera, Espalmador and Es Vedrà, and a group that arrives as strangers and does not leave that way.

My next sailing trip is the Ibiza Flotilla, 10 to 17 October, and I'll have been all five of these guys 😂 Eight years and more than 700 guests later, I still get asked about the toilet more often than about the wind. I don't mind. Somewhere between the cocktail and the pasta is where the week actually happens.

Sailing holiday in the Canary Islands ⛵ a week between Tenerife, La Gomera and La Palma. Wake up on the water off La Gomera, an island most people only ever reach by sea, ancient laurel forest above the clouds behind you and open Atlantic ahead of the bow 🌊 You fly into Tenerife and live aboard a monohull yacht for a week. Steady Atlantic trade winds run all winter here, so the week is built around real passages. The route stays flexible, weather and the group decide the rest. ⚓ On board: take the helm as often as you like, stand a watch if you want one, sailing lessons for anyone who wants them. Swim stops in bays you can only reach by yacht, dinner together on deck. 🌋 On land: lava fields and several climate zones in one day on Tenerife, hiking above the clouds through laurel forest and jungle on La Gomera, and on La Palma the volcano that erupted a few years ago and has gone quiet again, with fresh lava fields you can walk right up to.

This is for someone who keeps saying 'someday.' 👇 They deserve a week like this.

Some bays you only see from the water, and that is the whole point of a week on a yacht.

I left an IT desk 8 years ago to build weeks like this — screens off, real connection, the sea doing the rest.
