Such an amazing experience with Vagabonde Adventures! A few friends and I bareboated along with their flotilla in Croatia. Their local knowledge, insights, and personal connections they shared was so worth it. And I’m not going to lie, I kinda wish I booked a cabin in one of the boats with a private chef! They were eating goooooood!Such an amazing experience with Vagabonde Adventures! A few friends and I bareboated along with their flotilla in Croatia.

We had the most amazing week sailing around Croatia! Captain Eta was experienced, fun, and a great instructor! Chef Mia spoiled us with incredible meals everyday! 👏👏
Both being Croatian, they were full of local insider knowledge that made the trip extra special. All the laughs with the new friends we made was priceless. Highly recommend sailing with VA! Cant wait to do it again! ⛵️✨

Amazing people, great teachers, wonderful humans in tune with the spirit of the ocean. These are the folks you want to sail with.

We were a couple who chartered Outremer Catamaran 4X Lynx on 12-19 July 2025 with Jack and Eta across the Argo-Saronic Islands at Greece, completing 4 ASA certifications.

Both of them are passionate in what they do, knowledgeable and patient. They were also encouraging and understanding, always mindful to ensure that both of us work as a team and neither of us feel excluded

We had a lot of fun learning and enjoying the beauty of the sea and islands together. Thank you for the experience.

We had the most incredible week sailing with Vagabonde Adventures! From start to finish, the experience was smooth, educational, fun, and so welcoming. Jack and Daryl made everything feel easy and relaxed, while also making sure we were learning and fully immersed in the experience.

Jack was amazing with our whole family—patient, kind, and a fantastic teacher. He not only made sailing fun, but also made sure to share as much knowledge as we could absorb throughout the week. He encouraged the kids to snorkel, dive, and enjoy every part of the adventure—not just the sailing—which made the trip even more memorable. He met everyone at their own level, included the kids in everything, and helped build their confidence with such ease.

Daryl not only made the most delicious meals all week, but she also went out of her way to accommodate my food intolerances with such kindness and care. She always found great options that worked for everyone, and even came up with fun cooking activities to keep the kids entertained during the longer stretches on the water.

By the end of the week, our kids were asking if we could move to the ocean and live on a boat—and honestly, we understood the feeling! They made the days fly by, and we made memories we’ll hold onto forever.

We would 100% recommend Vagabonde Adventures to anyone looking to learn to sail, connect as a family, and enjoy an unforgettable experience on the water. Truly a 10/10 trip!

Where to Next?! So Many Unforgettable Sailing Experiences with Vagabonde Adventures from Bahamas to Greece to Australia — 100% Recommend.

Vagabonde Adventures attracts incredible people and creates unforgettable sailing experiences. My wife and did their flotilla in Greece with some friends, and it was, hands down, one of the best trips we’ve ever taken. We are beyond grateful to the entire Vagabonde team — thank you for exceeding every expectation!

This was our first flotilla, and we joined as a bareboat. With the expert coaching from the Vagabonde team, I had the chance to level up as a skipper, gaining confidence and sharpening my sailing skills. My wife and friends also grew tremendously in their abilities — all while having a total blast exploring the stunning Greek islands.

Throughout the week, we sailed to charming towns, remote coves, local tavernas, and hidden gems that only seasoned sailors seem to know (some of their amazing Captains are Greek, which was awesome).

We connected with amazing people from the other boats in the flotilla which made the experience even more memorable.

I did my first sailing lesson with Jack in 2020.
In 2023, I earned my ASA certifications with Vagabonde Adventures in the Bahamas over the course of two weeks — one of the best things I’ve ever done for myself. I came away more confident, capable sailor, skipper, and teammate. And had fun doing it. All of oceans now feel like they’re open to us.

The entire Vagabonde team (especially Jack and Eta :-) are not only expert sailing instructors, they’re also inspiring, kind, and downright awesome human beings. Their passion for sailing and the sea is magnetic. Anyone who’s sailed with them knows the magic they bring. Whether you’re a total beginner or a seasoned sailor, they make sailing fun, approachable, and empowering.

When we weren’t sailing, we were swimming, snorkeling, exploring, or relaxing on the nets, watching sunsets and stargazing under clear skies or exploring charming ancient island villages, dining on local cuisine.

If you’re looking to improve your sailing skills or just enjoy an epic adventure on the water, book with Vagabonde Adventures. You’ll walk away with lifelong skills, new friends, and incredible memories.

All the stars. So grateful. Absolutely recommend!

I went on a charter with Jack and Eta in the Bahamas and it was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. They are extremely seasoned sailors who ensure that you will learn as much as you’d like while also staying safe and sharing their wonderful travel experiences with great vibes/food. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a charter company to go sail. I’m already booked for charter #2 :)

Sailing with Vagabonde Adventures was the trip of a lifetime! With Captain Jacks expert guidance, I was able to obtain two ASA Sailing certifications. Jack knows all the best spots around the Abaco Islands and goes out of his way to make sure every guest has an amazing experience. I look forward to sailing with VA again!

You will not regret going with these guys! Professional, personable, and most importantly so much fun!! My partner and i have done several trips with Vagabonde Adventures and they have exceeded expectations every time! Appropriate for families, couples, amd singles; Jack and crew will ensure a smooth sailing experience.

The best way to experience the Abacos!
We had an absolutely incredible week with Vagabonde Adventures. Our amazing crew — Mackensie and Eta (and Jack) — went above and beyond to make the trip unforgettable. The food and drinks exceeded every expectation, but it was the crew’s friendliness and genuine hospitality that truly set this experience apart. We can’t wait for our next adventure with Vagabonde Adventures — this definitely won’t be our last!

AMAZING EXPERIENCE!!! Jack is a wonderful instructor. He does an amazing job of constantly teaching you everything there is to know about sailing while at the same time making it super fun and feel laidback and like a five star vacation. A perfect mix of learning, enjoying the experience of sailing and relaxing. The boat is in better than new condition and is a blast to sail (it was my first time sailing) and also luxurious and comfortable to live on. I aced both my tests (as did my new friend and mate Charlie) and I can’t wait to go back, learn more and do it again. Can’t recommend Jack and Vagabond Adventures enough.
