Sail the World. Come Home Closer.
Training camps and regattas in Europe, Asia and India, built around your family's holiday.
Some holidays are a blur of airports, queues and the same photo spots as everyone else. Ours are different. Every season, 24Seven Sailing takes squads to training camps and regattas abroad and in India. The venues follow the international sailing calendar and are planned well in advance, so families can book their holiday early and build it around the racing.
Your child trains and races with their squad on some of the best sailing water in the world, with the same coaches they work with at home. You get a holiday with a purpose: time to yourself while they're on the water, and real time together when they come ashore.
PLANNED AROUND THE SAILING CALENDAR
Our destinations change each year to follow the major events on the international youth sailing calendar. We announce them well in advance, so you can plan school holidays, flights and family time with no last-minute rush. We also train alongside partner clubs abroad, so your child sails with and against young sailors from other countries, not just their own squad.
WHY FAMILIES TRAVEL WITH US
Adventure with a purpose
Your child isn't a tourist on this trip. They're an athlete with a job to do. They read new winds, race sailors from other countries, and come home more confident, more independent and with stories of their own.
Your coaches travel with the squad
The coaches who know your child at home are on the water and on the dock with them abroad. They plan the training, brief the squad, debrief after racing and look after safety. Your child is never handed over to strangers.
Time for you
While the squad is sailing, the day is yours. Explore the town, find a café by the harbour, take a day trip, or simply rest. You're on holiday too.
Time together
When the boats come in, the family holiday begins: dinners, beaches, old towns, sunsets. And with stories from the race course at every meal, you'll talk more than on any holiday before.
A guided trip, not a guessing game
We know these venues, the sailing clubs and the routine of a regatta week. We share what we've learned so your family can plan with confidence, without spending your holiday working out what to do next.
WHERE WE SAIL
Lake Garda, Italy
Our near-annual fixture. Garda's reliable winds have made it one of the world's great dinghy venues, and it has hosted the O'pen Skiff World Championships at Riva del Garda and Arco. Ashore you'll find mountain villages, lemon groves and lakeside evenings.
Sardinia and the Italian coast
Clear Mediterranean water, with a sea-sailing side to Italy.
France
From Alpine lakes like Annecy to classic sailing venues on the Atlantic and in Brittany to the French Rivier Coast off the Mediterranean. The scenery changes with every venue, and so does the cheese board.
Spain
Mediterranean venues such as Arenys de Mar near Barcelona, where sea breezes meet sunshine and late dinners.
Hungary
Lake Balaton, Central Europe's largest lake and a regular stop on the European skiff circuit. It's a side of Europe most tourists never see.
Germany
Baltic regattas such as Travemünde Week (Travemünder Woche), one of the biggest sailing festivals in the world, held in harbour towns full of maritime history.
Phuket, Thailand
Warm Andaman Sea water, steady breeze and a winter escape the whole family will love.
Rameswaram, Chennai, Goa and Andaman Islands, India
Clear water and quiet coastline close to home, with a passport-free option for training camps.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Choose an event. We announce camps and regattas with dates, venue and the level of experience needed.
2. We prepare your child. Training at home builds up to the event, so they arrive ready.
3. You plan your holiday around it. We share venue tips so you can add days before or after.
4. The squad travels with its coaches. Training, racing, safety and debriefs are all handled by people your child already knows.
5. Come home with more than photos. You'll bring back skills, friendships and shared memories.
