We’re heading to French Polynesia for our very first Polynesian Adventure flotilla! Over the years we’ve shown 1000’s of people the wonders of Greece and Croatia on our Adventure flotillas and we know every little hidden treat on those islands. In continuing Poseidon’s 25th year celebrations this is a NEW Polynesian Adventure and we’d love to share our findings with you.  We’ll be exploring new waters, remote beaches, and meet the friendly Polynesian people living in the Society Islands.   Join the adventure by booking a cabin on the lead flotilla yacht or sail yourself by joining the guided flotilla on a yacht of your choice with your own group of friends.

We’re pleased to announce that once again we will be attending the Toronto Boat Show.  We’ll be exhibiting at booth 1453 which is just behind the yachts for sale and the Sailors Paradise zone. As in previous years, our Charter Director, Steven Parry will be speaking at the seminars over both weekends and times will be announced in later News.

If you’ve never sailed, it’s easy to be confused by the term flotilla. A flotilla of yachts is a group of yachts sailing together taking guidance from a lead flotilla yacht. The lead flotilla yacht has crew aboard who guide the group. To sail your own flotilla yacht, you need to be able to sail, have a sailing certificate and fill the yacht with your own group. What is different about our flotilla is that If you can’t sail, or want to have a more relaxing vacation then we offer you the chance to book a cabin on the lead flotilla yacht. When you book a cabin aboard the lead flotilla yacht, some meals are also included and you will be onboard with others who are also just booking a cabin.

The Bahamas awaits you with miles of reefs and turquoise waters for you to explore. Receive 10% discount off the last two available dates of 22 Oct & 05 Nov 2016 departures in a double cabin. Applies to a limited number of cabins depending on availability upon request. Find out more.

Small ship cruises or mini-cruises are the latest way to explore a new destination. Much smaller than the traditional cruise ships, mini-cruise ships enjoy the intimacy of under 100 passengers, great crew and inclusive meals. Croatia is a top destination for a small ship cruise and we’ve just released the 2017 dates of our top two mini-cruises in Croatia.  You can board in either Split or Dubrovnik and cruise the Adriatic coast in style.  

As the summer moves on so does our flotilla schedule and we are now in Croatia at the end of our first Croatian adventure flotilla of 2016.  We’ve had 4 yachts on flotilla with a mix of monohulls and catamarans. The race was certainly on between the new Hanse and the Jeanneau yachts. We were delighted to also welcome back a few repeat clients from Annapolis, Maryland. Sharon, Rick and Carol thanks for coming back for more adventures with us! Some of the highlights of the week have been seeing the Krka falls, Hvar town and the organic wine farm at Vis and catching up with the little jack russell terrier there!! The weather has been a very mixed bag over the last two days and we have seen very strong night time bora winds, meaning we had to actually remain in port in Kastela an extra night. Tomorrow is a new day and we hope that for the start of the second week the wind slows down a little and normal sailing will resume! You can see our week in pictures here.
