While our other Sail Camp adventures are made up of a number of shorter sailing passages with lots of other activities in between, our Buccaneer Sail Camps focus mainly on the sailing. They usually consist of one or several longer passages to unique destinations – from beautiful remote islands to bustling cities – and often also a passage back to simplify your logistics.

This means you will get to truly immerse yourself in the life of a sailor, spending your days and nights at sea, and waking up to a new view every morning.
This may also include some rougher seas and weather, but that is all part of the adventure – and the sense of achievement you and your crew will have gained once you come out on the other side, is unmatched!

And don’t worry, in between those sailing passages, there will be enough time to go ashore and explore the places we visit along the way!

As our Buccaneer Sail Camp voyages take place in a variety of different locations, please check the programme description for information on the respective port of embarkation and disembarkation. You will receive full joining instructions containing embarkation and disembarkation times and advice on how to get to your vessel, along with a kit list, upon completion of your booking. Some of our voyages will have a different embarkation and disembarkation ports. Please check this carefully before booking return travel arrangements.

All Sail Camp participants are required to book their own travel insurance. Please note that sailing might be considered a “high risk activity” by your insurance company, and make sure it is included in your insurance package.

Please make sure you fulfil all requirements to enter all countries visited on your Sail Camp for the entire length of your Sail Camp programme, including but not limited to a valid passport (for at least 3 months after the day you depart the last foreign port!), visa and required vaccinations or health certificates.

All Buccaneer Sail Camps are lead by RYA qualified sailing instructors, and sailing lessons on board follow the RYA syllabus. This means that during your voyage you will have the opportunity to complete a variety of different RYA certificates –including RYA Start Yachting, Competent Crew and, depending on experience, RYA Day Skipper certificate (with a Skills Completion weekend).

If you are looking to work towards your Day Skipper qualification, please get in touch with us before booking, as this is only achievable on certain voyages and with some previous sailing experience and preparation.
