The UK charter firm is now the sole UK agent for Sailing Classics from the Netherlands
VentureSail Holidays has secured a sole UK agent partnership for Dutch-owned cruising company Sailing Classics, adding larger and more luxurious boats to their ever-growing sailing holiday offering.
VentureSail Holidays focuses on providing ventures to various locations onboard vessels crewed by passionate people, and the Sailing Classics is no exception. Comprised of three luxury classic yachts – Rhea, Kairos and Chronos – the sailing experience on board is one of a small luxury cruise, with a maitre’d to greet all guests, large en suite cabins accommodating up to 26 and attentive crew. Each vessel travels with a wide selection of ‘water toys’ such as dinghies, water skies and paddle boards for more playtime on the water.
Guests can now enjoy cruising the Caribbean, Cape Verde, Croatia and Greece, experiencing these idyllic coastlines in comfort and style. This fleet of bespoke classic sailing yachts give a small cruise experience under sail, exploring with the tide and winds during the day then spending the evenings gently moored at anchor.
Sailing Classics owner Andreas Steidle-Sailer explains: “Our cabin charter holidays are totally unique compared to anything else on the market in the luxury travel sector. We were delighted to find an agent like VentureSail in the UK that understood our offering with such professionalism and a shared our passion for exploring under sail.”
VentureSail says it continues to seek out the best boats that offer fully crewed sailing holidays and now ventures in over 25 destinations around the world. Director Jo Downie says: “It really matters to us that the boats we work with provide a fully immersive on the water holiday. Working with Sailing Classics, we know our customers will have a wonderful time aboard, with opportunities to learn the ropes or sit back and take in the view.”
The partnership deal sees VentureSail, which already has the biggest charter fleet in the UK, expand in response to the growing demand for luxury travel. The boutique ‘cruise-like’ experience provided by Sailing Classics tackles over-tourism, enabling travellers to broaden horizons whilst invigorating the senses within a smaller group environment.
