Each summer American Sailing Members and non-members set sail with groups of like-minded people in destinations around the globe.
Our flotillas are consistently full of sailors looking to explore new destinations, and it’s not too late to plan your next adventure for this summer’s sailing season.

Our trips offer something for everyone from the novice sailor to the experienced offshore cruiser. If you have not been on one of these you owe it to yourself to consider a sailing vacation with American Sailing Vacations.
From Montenegro to Mallorca, Corfu to Croatia — it’s time to fill your sails with the winds of a memorable summer.

Cataleya is a dream to sail when conditions are favorable, and also a motor sailor that keeps our plans intact when its necessary. You will visit multiple ports and anchorages and be guided by locals who know this country well. Everyone that has been on this trip so far cannot wait to come back either on a bareboat charter or on a flotilla.
This trip is ideal for someone who wants to see Croatia with a knowledgeable guide on their first visit.
Why You Would Book Cataleya: An Ability to explore Croatia with a group of other sailors and as a reconnaissance trip for a future bareboat charter.

New England on Arabella
When the sails go up on Arabella there is nothing quite like the feeling of heeling on a 157-foot yacht. The vessel moves through the water and you feel the power. You take the helm and you guide this sailboat on the waters around Martha’s Vineyard, Newport, and Nantucket. This trip around New England is a gateway trip for those who want a bit more sailing but still want to experience some sightseeing on land. If the wind is perfect you can bet that more sailing will take place and with a boat full of sailors nobody will complain. Have dinner on shore and come back to the Arabella for drinks on the deck under the moonlight.
This trip is ideal for the sailor who wants the big boat experience coupled with fun onshore options and the ability to explore a few islands in New England.
