MedSailors specializes in social sailing holidays across the Mediterranean, specifically catering to young professionals and travelers aged 20 to 35. Founded in 2011 by three New Zealand yachtsmen, the company delivers week-long skippered tours around the islands of Croatia and Greece. The itineraries are structured to combine coastal exploration, local cultural activities, and social events.

The company operates under a B Corp certification, reflecting an explicit commitment to sustainable tourism and environmental stewardship. Practical initiatives on the water include regular beach clean-ups, a dedicated floatie recycling program, and the elimination of single-use bags for guests. These efforts are paired with a focus on local community support throughout the sailing regions.

Trips are organized in flotillas, with guests accommodated on sailing yachts and catamarans rather than motor cruisers. Each vessel is staffed by a RYA-qualified skipper and a guest experience leader who manage navigation, logistics, and local guiding.

MedSailors coordinates crew assignments to group solo travelers and small parties with like-minded peers, and the skippers offer basic sailing instruction to any guests interested in learning to handle the yacht.
