Sailing Adventures (4-7 days)

Sailing trips at the archipelago of Finland (4-7 days):

Between the Archipelago National Park (Parainen, Turku) and Ålands.


This archipelago sailing experience is brilliant for travelers, couples and small groups of friends (max. 4ppl) who want to take a deeper look at the life on boat, sailing and the archipelago itself.

We will plan the route, places to visit etc. mostly according to the weather and winds, but since the many days on travel gives us good possibility to visit many places with different activities and things to do.

We will:

- Learn much about sailing! Theory lessons with practical exercises are very possible depending on your/team wishes.

- Be part of the Crew. This means shared tasks both on and under deck (cleaning, food help, navigating, steering etc). We will teach & guide, no special skills or experience needed.

- Explore the unique archipelago (activities are voluntary and not included in the prize): visit idyllic villages, hike, take stunning photographs by nature trails, find Geocaches, do sports with us, swim, sleep under-stars by bonfire, take few rounds on sauna, etc.... You decide!

THINGS YOU NEED
- water bottle
- eager and open mind
- warm and waterproof clothing
- own sheets for bed & sleeping bag (sleeping in 2* double beds, so it's good to sign in with a friend. Cabins are separated by a curtain)

My name is Jasper. I am passionate about sailing and offer alternative kind of sailing adventures & experiences to people as travelers and locals. I am Maritime Officer, working on merchant sailing cargo ships, being on my last year in the Master Mariner Education in Turku (Novia UAS) .... so going to sea is my occupation, my profession, my boat is my home! Welcome to experience something stunning!

- Yes, there is toilet on boat - however, there are some limits to it. Whenever anchored or moored to harbor or island, that "nature facility" is our best lavatory.
- Suitable for children with their parents if you ask first (day / short trips).
- Everybody joins as a Crew member. The position requires attendance to certain tasks on boat's "house-keeping" and sailing. Such common tasks are: cleaning, food preparing help, morning bed-making routines, and deck work: ropes and coiling, navigating, steering, sail handling, mooring etc. (No experience or special skills are needed. We will teach, guide and do tasks altogether).
