Why Sail With Us?

In short, a learning adventure unlike any other. Sailing out beyond sight of land in deep water means pushing into some of the last, truly free places on planet Earth. To do so safely and comfortably, we’ll make sure you are fully prepared to take advantage of every minute of it.

Renew Your Sense of Adventure

Deep water is where self-reliance is one of the few constants and it provides you with a feeling of incredible liberty and freedom rarely seen in our regular routines on land. Why join us? Mark Twain said it best, “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So, throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”

Reviews from Crew Members

“Sailing the Irish coast with Mike was a very special experience for my 16-year old son and I. Mike is an experienced, conscientiousness, and extremely competent sailor—everything flows from that. He is also a generous host and mindful of everyone’s experience. We loved having tasks, responsibilities, and being able to contribute as crew members. Every second was its own wonderful moment—being under sail, exploring ports, evenings in pubs, small talk over coffee, extended time with family and friends. Living on Midnight Voyageur, and, of course, Ireland was awesome. ‘Wonder why we ever go home (Buffett)’”

"It's been one of my life's greatest adventures to sail with Mike Foley over the last 5 years. Mike is a very skilled captain, both in matters of sailing and steering the great ship of this mystery called life. The skills I develop through his coaching on the sailboat serve me daily in my profession as a diplomat where I often apply the nautical principles of patience, observance, prespective, surrender and razor sharp action when needed. In addition, the sail trips are a perfect blend of unbounded joy, good humor and access to the truest luxury available on this planet - wilderness!

“Sailing with Captain Mike in the San Juan Islands, Southern California, Mexico, Lake Superior and Portugal has been one of the great joys of my life. Mike’s first priority is always safety for all on board, followed closely by ensuring fun while taking in the beauty of this world. And Mike is a master at helping everyone on board, regardless of one’s limited sailing experience, be an important and capable crew member during every sailing adventure. What a gift Mike is!!”
