The Forever Young International trip is designed for those aged 40 to 59 who have stayed active and seek adventure on a classic sailing yacht far away from all-inclusive holidays. In a relaxed atmosphere, you will explore stunning coastlines in destinations like Greece or the Caribbean alongside a like-minded crew of solo travelers and couples. There is no rigid itinerary here: together with your skipper, you decide each morning where the journey should take you. Whether shopping at local markets or sharing deep conversations in the cockpit, a true sense of community quickly develops, often growing into long-lasting friendships. It is the perfect, authentic escape for anyone looking to enjoy nature and community to the fullest!
The route shown is a suggestion based on optimal conditions. The final route is decided daily by the crew together with the skipper - depending on weather, wind, crew wishes and current conditions. This makes every trip an individual adventure!
