"Sailing Collective trips/experiences are a cut above other group experience journeys based on the following criteria; Exceptional Captains and chefs, curation of exceptional dining experiences and off shore outings. The vibe that Kyle & Flannery created was wonderful. Calm, caring, smart and fun. They are both totally in control of all details on the boat while creating a fun and vibrant atmosphere. I am interested in Greece, Antartica, Croatia."
-Caroline C.
Group Journey in the Aeolian Islands, Sicily
Sailing Collective has been so fun to be a part of! Its a unique experience - I would never get to meet so many interesting people if not for SC! I love the spirit of everyone on these trips, even when I am 20 years younger than everyone else they are so fun and inclusive. Flavia was an incredible chef! She was so kind and was really helpful with translating - she even called a hotel for myself and Stephanie for our last day to arrange a great deal for us to use the pool before our flights! I will miss her! I was happily surprised how nice our boat was! My last trip was definitely an exception to the rule but it was really nice to have so much space to myself. RGina was an absolute angel in helping me plan! Loved that she whatsapp'd me so that I could ask her some questions in the moment too!

Group Journey in Sardinia & Corsica
"I loved captain Janet's calm and chef Flavia's spirit and culinary skills all done with good humor and spirits!"
-Bill R.
Group Journey in Croatia
"Our group felt like a family pretty quickly, the amazing food and I loved the location."
-Sarah,
Group Journey in Turkey
"The food was amazing! Both Captain Kyle and Chef Diana were very calm and really set the tone of the trip. The boat was roomy and had lots of different place to relax."
-Brad
Private Charter in French Polynesia
"The food from Chef Diana as always was phenomenal. Diana was also a great host and we all really enjoyed sailing with her. Lots of time spent in the water as requested was appreciated, the coral gardens around Le Pearl Taha'a and Raitea peal farm were quite impressive."
-Geoff
Private Charter in French Polynesia
"The casual, but curated experience. The food. Alida's cooking is elevated and simple at once. Also love the flexibility and ability to switch things up real time if that's the mood of the group. I love your offering, and hope to sail with you many more times! Next time I'd like to go to Turkey or else somewhere really far afield like Madagascar."
-Jamie S.
Private Charter in the Gulf of Naples
"I loved the natural beauty of Greece, the food, the exploration. Alida’s amazing food and sweet spirit was a huge plus. Charlotte did a great job leading us to spots I will remember forever. Her command of the boat was impressive"
-Scott
Group Journey in the Dodecanese Islands in Greece
"The food, chef, and captain were absolutely first rate. The chef was really talented, and the captain was very conscientious and focused on the passengers. They both were quite knowledgeable about their respective vocation, and were extremely personable to boot. Our fellow passengers were also very enjoyable."
-Erik K.
Group Journey in Sardinia + Corsica
"The food!!!! Every single dang thing Flavia cooked for us was absolutely delicious. The food was also a manhole selling point for me. Had there not been such a strong emphasis on food with Sailing Collective, I don’t think I’d ever book a group trip. And, obviously, ever place we went! It was so beautiful and relaxing and I would have never thought to go to these places on my own. Thank you! Chef Flavia was an absolute gem. Not only did she cook amazing food. But, she also was the translator for the three boats on the Aeolian trip. She helped so, so much and we wouldn’t have been able to do a lot of things had she not been making calls and translating with the locals. She’s a total gem!"
-Caitlin C.
Group Journey in the Aeolian Islands, Sicily
"Just a great trip with great people. Hard to beat. I like to go to Greece, maybe in cooler weather."
-Stephen H
Private Charter in the Gulf of Naples
"Tharuka was amazing. I felt extremely comfortable with him in charge of the boat, and I would love to sail with him again in the future. So much so that if there was a way to know which of the trips he was leading I would target those first to join. Even after a day of long, tiring sailing, he was always, 100% of the time, willing to go back up in the dark and the rain to help show me for the 10th time how to tie down the dinghy. You can't ask for more in a teacher!
-Sam S.
Sailing School course in Scotland
"Greatly appreciate the opportunity provided by Sailing Collective. I have every expectation that I will eagerly seek out your services in the future."
Sailing School course in Antigua
"It was very relaxing and you were able to disconnect. Gabrielle's food was AMAZING! Antigua and Barbuda were beautiful. Kyle and Gabrielle were great, they helped make the trip very relaxing and enjoyable. If I could afford it, I would go a lot of different places."
-Paige
Private Charter in Antigua & Barbuda
"I really though that our Captain, Tharuka, was the best part of the trip. He was so great at balancing the course material with sightseeing and going with the flow. He was completely professional while still feeling part of the group, and was a wonderful teacher to boot. Can’t recommend him enough."
-Sarah W.
Sailing School course in Scotland
"The food was AMAZING!!!! The knowledge of the skipper of secluded and interesting places We can't wait!!! We want to do a private charter with our grown children. The Saronic Islands we think. We want to hire Jaime E. and Flavia again!!!! You will FOR SURE be repeat customers"
-Suzanne G.
Group Journey in Sardinia & Corsica
"The food was delicious, the locations were all great! It was a really fun group of passengers and crew. We had an amazing time and definitely want to do another! We’re not sure but we are definitely hoping to do another trip!
-Johanna P.
Group Journey in Aeolian Islands, Sicily
"We really enjoyed this itinerary. Islands were close together making for relatively short journeys. Loved anchoring most evenings as opposed to typing up at a dock. Flannery’s cooking is of course a huge draw for us. She’s the best. Captain Kyle was great too. Calm and cool and really a wonderful captain. We’d sail with him again for sure!"
-Amy M.
Group Journey in Aeolian Islands, Sicily
"I enjoyed sailing to the different islands and having the opportunity to meet some of the local people who were so kind and generous. I loved the professor, Haru Nui , who took us to Taputapuatea Temple. It was a truly spiritual experience. Of course swimming in the aquamarine waters of the South Pacific was unparalleled."
Group Journey in French Polynesia Revi
"The group experience, the food, and the exquisite scenery while sailing. I’m still missing the food and the group! Thinking about Thailand or Italy next time"
