Extra Activities
Sailing is fun not only due to the wind, ropes and people who join us. We like to be creative with our time on board. Feel free to suggest even the most crazy of ideas! We like to experiment!
Line dragging
In case of no winds or simply to cool down, we can drag a line behind the boat.
Dolphin Spotting
Not guaranteed, but we may spot some sea mammals!
Fender flights
Highly dangerous, so only for the agile ones. Fender flights are an exciting way to spend a windless afternoon.
Jamming
Bring your instruments and let’s sing it out loud! Bottles, winches, cans, clapping and singing is highly encouraged.
Regatta
At the end of the week we always try to have a little regatta. Skippers ought to have taught you enough by now to feel confident and safe.
Night Sailing
Set up and keep the watches, helm, avoid obstacles, and take your crew safely through the night.
Rafting
Rafting is a perfect way to enable crews to mingle. We raft for lunches and sometimes for the night. Go to the other crews and say hello.
Snorkelling
Discover what sort of creatures live underwater or how does the boat look from down under.
Beer O`Clock
When it comes, it comes. A perfectly chilled beer puts out your thirst like nothing else. It also replenishes electrolytes!
Climbing the mast
Either underway or at anchor you are free to climb the mast. We actually will give you harness and winch you up, so no worries. It`s safe.
Floaties time
There is nothing like sitting comfortably in a floatie and enjoy your favorite drink.
Progressive dinner
One boat cooks the starters, one boat does the main and one dessert. We all hop from one boat to another and enjoy a full dinner!
Composing Naleia songs
We always encourage people to do music and some of you surprised us with actually writing some pieces. Thanks!
Improving our photography
When is a better time to take great photos than during vacation time?
Enjoy the moment
Lay down on the bow and enjoy the views passing by. Be here, be now.
Skinny dipping
Well, if you and the crew likes, there is nothing against some swimming without the swimsuit! Freedom!
Acro yoga
Some of our participants taught us a bit of Acro Yoga. Learning how to do such a figure took only 20 minutes.
Having a good time
Be yourself, enjoy, meet others and share your holiday time. Our time is precious. Use it well.
Life On Board
Living on a yacht is a bit different to living in a house. You will live on the blue side of the sea, and have the sea as your backyard. Sailing frees the spirit and strengthens the mind. It decreases privacy, so hiccups, quirks and weaknesses are rapidly exposed. It’s definitely not for everyone, but everyone who tried it learned a lot about themselves. Therefore, do not wait till your life responsibilities anchor you and take the plunge. You are welcome.
People to meet
We are open to anyone who is open. If you are ready to share a yacht for a week, be honest, true and enjoy yourself, join us. We immediately assume you to be a friend and ask you to do the same. We all love exploring the nature and stepping out of our comfort zone to face new experiences. Our sailing trips are about meeting that magical sort of people, Naleians.
