OUR PURPOSE

Our purpose is to keep the human touch at the heart of travel, allowing you to focus on creating lifelong memories with friends and family in the destinations you cherish.

ABOUT US

Mariner Boating, an Australian based company, has been sending travellers on unforgettable boating holidays since 1994. 

Mariner Boating was born out of our founder's passion for sailing after the Joyce family-of-four returned from living overseas for twelve years.

The journey started in 1972 when Maggie and Trevor moved to the U.K. with Sarah. While living in England, Gabriella arrived and they moved to Greece shortly after.

During those formative years, summers were spent exploring the Greek islands by boat; these experiences have since become the inspiration for the tailored sailing holidays that we share with you.

We base your holiday itineraries on decades of personal travel and countless successful trips. Our strengths include our first hand knowledge. Our experience ensures your have everything you need to enrich your journey.

Flexibility is a core strength. Whether you want to join our small group, guided trips, a completely independent experience, or a fully crewed, hands-off holiday, we can accommodate your preference.

OUR TEAM

Our team is Sarah, as director and guide, and Emma as our logistics manager.

Sarah spends her leisure time trying to master both the Greek language and handstands - challenges that keep her grounded in the idea that it’s all about the journey, not the destination!

Emma is a travel-loving mum who enjoys family hikes, exploring new places, and discovering great food along the way

We can't forget Maggie and Trevor. They remain deeply involved. Maggie is happiest when she’s surrounded by family, friends, her garden, or on a Greek island, while Trevor finds his joy at the helm of a boat, steering the course.
