The fun sailing program:

Trial Trip Sailing with our instructor and ‘Jangada’ to get the taste of wind.
Guided Tour Cruising up or down the coast line on board of the ‘Mac’. 6 Persons maximum. You have the choice between seeing Melaka from the sea side, following the scenic coast of Melaka to the north, or to get close to the ocean-going freighters on the world’s most busy straits. The trip includes soft drinks and snacks. Duration: 4 hrs. We start on appointment.
Day cruise We start in the morning and head for an island of your choice: a lone island with a beach all for yourself? Pulau Besar with its local history and tales? Refreshments and picknick are provided. We will sail back to arrive towards sunset. A pick-up in Melaka town or Umbai can be arranged, in case you want extended time on the island. If you are more interested in the sailing itself, we will start at Explorer.
Sunset Outing and Night Ride Romantic evening trip. The Mac provides the platform for a relaxed excursion when the sun goes down. Drinks and snacks round up a special evening. 2 hours or more. A Must-have for honeymooners.
Little Voyage Enjoy a journey to Pulau Besar under sails. Discover the island, its people, its history, its cave and stay overnight; in a lodge or on board of the Mac. Next day have a relaxed breakfast and have a swim at the beach or start to a slope ‘outbound’ which will bring you close to the ocean traffic with its big freighters. Starting in the morning, we will be back next day in the evening. Snacks and soft drinks on board will be provided. Generally based at Seafarer Explorer, we can arrange for different pick-up points.
You can blame us for bad service. But we have no influence on weather conditions, of which no claims can be derived.

Educational and action program:

The courses are open from 14 years and above, for groups of 3 persons or more. For further information, please consult our curriculum and training schedule or contact us directly.
