Solo Travel with Mariner Boating – Adventure and Connection Combined!
Explore the beauty and history of Greece, Croatia, Italy, French Polynesia, and Turkey, with scenic stops, vibrant culture, and ample opportunities for exploration ashore. Our tours are ideal for solo travellers who want the comfort of a group experience without the responsibility of sailing alone.
Our trips are perfect for those who want the thrill of sailing without having to handle the boat themselves. You'll be part of a close-knit crew sharing responsibilities and experiences along the way, building friendships, enjoying stunning scenery, and perhaps even picking up a few sailing skills as you go.
Or, if you prefer a more relaxed journey, you’re free to kick back and enjoy the scenery while our skilled skippers handle the sailing. Unwind with a book, take in the views, or chat with fellow travellers—all in a laid-back setting.
