If watching the pictures and videos of gay cruises like Atlantis in the US or The Cruise in Europe doesn't excite you at all, then you might want to consider another kind of gay cruises. Gay sailing cruises are the ultimate gay cruise experience, on well-equipped sailing yachts or luxury catamarans in small groups throughout the historical islands of Greece, along the rugged coast of Turkey, among the ancient cities of Croatia, off the white beaches of Saint Martin & Saint Barth and the British Virgin Islands in the Caribbean, the Bahamas or tropical Thailand.

You can join for one week, two weeks, or more in small international gay groups with 1-3 sailing yachts,  10-30 guys, and a mix of singles and couples of all ages. The sailing yachts and catamarans have 5-6 double cabins with double, twin, or bunk beds. There's also a fully equipped galley with a cool box, toilets, and showers. 

During the trip, you can learn as much sailing as you want or improve your sailing skills, but no sailing experience is needed. You can also enjoy the sea and the wind, soak up the sun on the front deck, swim nudely, and enjoy the food. There's plenty of time to explore some of the nearby islands, enjoy secluded bays, hike to ancient temples and amphitheaters, visit local markets, and sip frappe in small cafes. The gay skippers know the best spots and local things to see and do. Breakfast and lunch are served on board. Dinner is served either in a nice restaurant or on board. 

In Greece, Turkey, and Croatia, you will sail on a 50-foot (15,5 meter) sailing yacht, a Bavaria 50 Cruiser (or similar). The ships have a huge outdoor sitting area, a sun deck including outdoor mattresses, and a swimming platform with an outside shower to use after a great dive in the blue sea. Inside is a salon and a well-equipped kitchen.  

All Inclusive sailing cruises 

These cruises have three different labels: AdonisGaySailing are all-inclusive sailing cruises for gay guys and men. These cruises include accommodation on board, breakfast, lunch, harbor fees, taxes, gasoline, cleaning, and, most importantly, the service of a gay skipper and a gay co-skipper/cook. 

Gaysail is a less expensive option without the co-skipper/cook. The GaySail cruises include the service of a gay skipper and accommodation on board. Breakfast and lunch are prepared by the sailing group along with the skipper. Shopping is done in the local villages and markets. 

GayNudeSail is a nude gay sailing cruise designed for those guys who like to stay nude all day on board and swim naked. These cruises sail in Greece, Turkey, Croatia, Saint Martin & Saint Barth, the British Virgin Islands, the Bahamas, and Thailand (naturism is only an option there). You can swim and stay naked in the sun on all cruises (all are clothing optional), but GayNudeSail cruises are specially designed for those who like to stay nude all day! 


The next GayNudeSail cruise is expected on June 11, departing from Lefkas throughout the Ionian islands (995€). The next GaySail cruise is scheduled on July 30 from Mykonos to Santorini and Kos (895€). In total, no less than 23 one-week cruise will sail all summer long in the pristine waters of Greece, Turkey, and Croatia.
