7 adventure sailing holidays for your Bucket List
7 adventure sailing holidays for your Bucket List
Adventure sailing holidays have the opportunity to bring passengers into the most remote angles of the world and to gain access to some of the remote and greatest landscapes that the world has to offer.
After I recently returned from my first large sailing adventure in front of the west coast of Scotland and my interest in the Hohe Lake is really awakened, I take a look at some adventure sailing vacations that I would like to take part in.
1. East Greenland
Duration: 15 days, Isafjördur according to Kulusuk Price: € 4,950 ($ 5,800) Further information: Anotherworldadventures.com
alt = "Adventure sailing vacation grönland"> dream time The east coast of Greenland is one of the most remote places in the world
along the 2,600 km (1,600 miles) long section of coasts between Tasiilaq and Scoresby Sund on the east coast of Greenland, hardly 3,500 people are bustling an existence, which makes it one of the most remote places in the world. This is the realm of polar bears and narwhales.
On this trip, a 60-foot sailing yacht with only 12 passengers and two crew members from Isafjördur in Iceland and needs about 32 hours to cross Denmarkstrasse before it drives south along the east coast of Greenland. If the conditions are right, there are many ways to go ashore and to explore the spectacular Greenland wilderness.
2. South Georgia, Falkland and Antarctic trip
Duration: 22-39 days, Falkland Islands according to Ushuaia Price: from € 7,490 ($ 8,800) Further information: Barkeuropa.com

The 100-year-old cult sailer Europe offers a number of Antarctic adventure sailing holidays. My favorite is the 34-day expedition from the Falkland Islands to Ushuaia in Argentina via South Georgia and the Antarctic Peninsula in the Weddellmeer. These iconic travel destinations are reminiscent of the epic journey of discovery of sizes such as Shackleton, Scott and Amundsen.
On a distance of over 2,400 nautical miles (2,500 km), the ship visits some of the most inhospitable and yet most beautiful open oceans. Expect icebergs, Albatrosse and penguins, the latter at thousands. Finally return to civilization by crossing the notorious drake passage.
3. Cross on the Scottish Hebrids
Duration: 7 days, Oban according to Oban Prize: from £ 600 ($ 900) Further information: Ladyofavenel.com

The Scottish west coast may not be as remote as some destinations on this list, but it offers a comparable wild beauty, albeit with the option on a cozy pub and a hearty meal at the end of the day. Fresh from my first sailing adventure on the inner levy, I can highly recommend a week in the middle of one of the most beautiful landscapes in Scotland.
The Lady of Avenel is a 102 foot Brigantine-Rahsegler, which carries out a number of large-sailing adventure sailing holidays throughout the UK. Options include sea kajaca, paddleboarding, wild swimming, mountain hikes and whiskey tours as well as a variety of passage cruises.
4. Cuba sail
Duration: 8 days, Havana after Havana Price: € 1,279 ($ 1,500) Further information: gadvures.com

Adventure sailing holidays do not have to take place between enemy glacier seas. The Caribbean offers some of the most beautiful waters in the world and it is an exciting time to visit Cuba. Lately the country has experienced a massive increase in tourism, which makes sailing an ideal way to see the country and at the same time escape the crowds.
Explore the Canarreos Archipelago south of Kuba's main island with a small and personal 82-foot catamaran. In addition to snorkeling, rafting and kayaking, passengers can also explore the country on hiking and bicycle trips.
5. Spitzbergen (Svalbard) sailing and photo cruise
Duration: 7 days, Longyearbyen after Longyearbyen Price: € 2,700 ($ 3,200) Further information: Classic-ailing.co.uk

The Dutch possession of the Greater Sail Antigua is a specialist in Spitzbergen and has been driving to the high -market archipelago every summer since 2008. The ship takes over trips to the Norwegian archipelago in the Arctic Ocean throughout the summer, which are about halfway between the continental Norway and the North Pole.
The most interested in the trip in September, which focuses on photography. The nights are darker and more suitable at this time of year to observe and photograph the northern lights. The crew consists of photo experts and wildlife specialists who help the passengers to discover polar bears, walruses, whales - both to sea and on land - and to discover the abundance of the bird world offered.
6. New Zealand to the Falkland Islands

A ocean case with a square rig on board the Tenacious, the largest ship in operation with the world's hull in the world. From New Zealand, the ship follows the west winds of the Roaring Forties, which can be found in the southern hemisphere between the 40th and 50th latitudes.
After 4,000 miles (6,500 km) on the open lake, the ship creeps Cape Horn and controls the Falkland Islands. With a 3,000 miles long non-stop passage-from 50 degrees south in the Pacific-the entire crew has fulfilled the criteria to become members of the International Association of Cape Hoorner (provided that the trip was completed under sailing without using the engine). Apparently, more people have climbed Mount Everest than this exclusive club.

7. Circling of Picton Castle
