Sunsail Painkiller Party

Sunsail's annual customer appreciation party rocked this year! Topping off a busy day at the booth, with lots of Sunsailors stopping by to book their next sailing vacations, the 'Sunsail Painkiller Party' was sponsored by our friends over at Pussers Rum, with superb Pussers mugs and delicious Painkillers. All that accompanied by the jumping Caribbean tunes of Orlando Philipps, steel drum player extraordinaire! I'd like to give a shout out to Becca for climbing up the new Sunsail 39i mast and throwing out cool 'Team Sunsail' t-shirts. Look out for the 'passionate...about sailing' shirts next year!

In the meantime, catch you out on the water,

Windscoops let the breeze lull you to sleep!



I was just in Tortola this past July on a Lagoon 410 Catamaran. We spent 2 nights at the Sunsail Marina and I was very pleased with the ease and performance of the "Breeze Booster" Windscoop. This device is easily mounted on the hatch and helps to circulate air into the cabin. While out at sea I used the windscoop with the electric fan and one night I even had to use my blanket! This is a standard feature on all Sunsail charters.





Coast of a thousand islands











Croatia has it all – majestic walled cities with medieval cobbled streets, ancient ruins, vineyards, forests, deserted coves, and over a thousand islands to discover. In reliable five to twenty knot winds, you can keep the sailing distances as short as you like from one fully equipped, modern marina or remote anchorage to another. Anchor or moor up in sheltered, peaceful harbors or busier towns – the choice is up to you!


Today’s Croatia is an effortless blend of old and new, historic and hip. Wherever you step ashore you’ll be met with a great welcome – Croatian hospitality is warm and genuine and renowned in the sailing community.

Choose from two dramatically different yacht charter locations along Croatia’s stunning Adriatic coast:

Kremik, Croatia – Central along the coast, visit ancient towns and the stunning Krka Falls or head north to the Kornati National Park and explore thousands of uninhabited islands
Dubrovnik, Croatia - Enjoy this amazing medieval walled city before sailing through the islands

No matter which area you choose, you’ll find superb sailing conditions in beautiful surroundings, friendly locals, wonderful cuisine, and a warm, dry Mediterranean climate. With 2,600 hours of sunlight in an average year, Croatia boasts one of the sunniest coastlines in Europe.

Sunsail Slideshow

Sunsail Lagoon 380 Video

You'll find plenty of room for up to eight people on the stable Sunsail Lagoon 380 with four cabins and a head and shower in each hull. The salon is kept cool by vertical windows giving you a fantastic, panoramic view. The galley faces aft, and as the deck and salon are on one level, this makes it easy for your galley crew to serve direct to the table in the cockpit.
