Whether you’re new to sailing or an old hand at the helm, Xploration welcomes you.

First, you apply for a journey and write us your questions if you have some. Then we arrange a short, friendly interview with the captain, to align expectations. This is also our way to make sure that everybody fits the vibe of the journey. And the last part: you make a 50% prepayment and officially join the crew.

Join a diverse group of adventurers who started just where you are now!

We take great pleasure in crafting beautiful meals, especially when our crew is plentiful.

In those bustling moments, we often enlist the culinary prowess of two chefs to ensure a swift and delicious feast.

However, when the sea puts on a lively dance, a trio takes charge in the galley. The third member becomes the orchestrator of balance, ensuring every dish reaches the table without a spill, even in the midst of the boat's rhythmic motion.

When we go around a cape, a few things change.

First off, you'll notice a shift in the wind and waves. The cape can create its own weather patterns, so be prepared for some turbulence.
Next, keep an eye on the currents. They can get tricky around capes, so we'll need to adjust our course accordingly.
Also, the water depth might change suddenly, so we'll be extra cautious to avoid any unexpected shallows.
Lastly, watch out for potential sea life. Capes can be a hub for marine activity, so keep your eyes peeled for any wildlife that might be passing through.

A bed on a sailing boat necessitates a leeboard for a crucial reason: stability amidst the unpredictable motion of the sea. This unassuming yet vital addition functions as a reliable divider, effectively countering the rolling and swaying of the vessel. Without it, sleep on board would be a restless affair, especially during turbulent waters. The leeboard ensures a comfortable repose, granting sailors the essential rest they need to navigate the waves and embark on new journeys with confidence.

Sometimes, the greatest luxury is simply doing nothing at all. Letting time stretch out like the horizon, and allowing the gentle rhythm of the waves to be our only agenda.

There's something truly special about the bonds forged at sea. The shared adventures, the laughter carried by the wind, and the trust built on the waves - it all creates a tapestry of memories that tie us together.

How's ordinary day on board looks like?

It's a tale of two styles: offshore and coastal.

Offshore — we swap watches every 3-4 hours (with delightful hot meals twice a day in the mix).

When it's coastal sailing, it's like every day. You rise, enjoy breakfast, and then... set out to explore the world and discover yourself, be it from the water or on solid ground.

Adventure is all about discovering the extraordinary in the ordinary.

On each stop we like to xplore the shore, witnessing and experiencing it in all its glory.

So, whether it's a quiet beach, a charming coastal town, or an unexpected hike in the hills, remember to embrace the beauty of the unknown.
