Dubrovnik, Croatia (September 6-13, 2025)
Sail the sunny stunning islands filled with history and lively people and places. Parks islands of Mljet, Lastovo, Korcula, Peljasac and the 'not to miss' favorite stop of these islands - wineries, olive oil and lavendar haven of Havar. Locals and vistors party there, too.​​

The cooler dry season. Not too hot or muggy. Temps range from 75-88 in the day with cooler nights. Sail by the hanging rocks and other stunning scenery used as spectacular movie locations used in James Bond, Avatar and more.

I'm voting for France but we can rent river boats in so many countries that we'd like to hear where your interest lies. planning for 2 boats, up to 16 adventurers. Can add more with notice.
WhitSundays Great Barrier Reef
November 2024 Australia Whitsunday Islands
The Great Barrier Reef is 1400 miles of abundant sealife, beauty beaches and clear deep waters. The Whitsundays include over 100 islands with white sand beaches and pleasant tropical weather. Parts of the Barrier Reef are gone. A long list of things including anchoring, fishing, the coral eating crown of thorns star fish, farming practices and much more, causing parts of the reef to die and become bleached out. I've seen a small healthy portion of it out from Gladstone near Brisbane. I want to see what is north while it is still alive and full of life. If you have ever snorkeled - this place is the very best.
British Virgin Island (BVI's) 2024
Jan 2 2024/Jan 9th. British Virgin Islands
Starting at Road Town Tortola, Afterguard's Destination Sailors were off on a new adventure. The mellow and warm BVIs in January. The body shock of cold to warm then returning warm to cold was awesome. Next year to make it a bit less going mid March though. The Sir Francis Drake Channel was peaceful and pleasant sailing. The north side a bit more challenging like SF Bay sailing. So many lovely sites and great fun between.
May 27 2023/June 3rd. Split Croatia
Split – The city of Split is the second largest in Croatia known for its breathtaking views overlooking the Mediterranean. The rugged coastline in this area offers many beaches only accessible by boat, making them exclusive and secluded. Visited the islands near Split is an experience not to be missed. Went wine tasting and shopping getting in by 3pm at most stops. The people are friendly. Most speak English or are very good at a sign-language mixture. Sailing in light winds almost every day but we did get in some excellent sailing.
2022 Tahiti Flotilla (July 23-Aug 6th) 2 weeks
Leaving from Raiatea with 3 boats - one Cat and 2 mono-hulls. Afterguard sailing adventurers had a blast. Hosted the group dinners aboard the Cat as is becoming the SOP. Had dinner ashore on several islands. Visited Raiatea, Tahaa, Huihane, Tahaa pearl and vanilla farms plus a local Tahitian dinner and dance evening. The weather is always a player. Spent a few days diving and snorkeling at Bora Bora.
Greek Flotilla (Sept 25-Oct 9th 2021 ) 2 weeks
Sailing through the Greek Cyclades Isles is much more adventurous. Again we left from Athens. Christian Hofmann was part of the flotilla for the first week. It was too windy for his group. We took a 42' Cat and a new Beneteau 50' monohull. John Zolck was the leader for the 50'. Mary then Kevin led the Cat. Were stuck in Myconos for a few days during the transition stop due to high winds. What a pretty place to be stuck
Greek Pelopennese Coast Flotilla (Sept 28-Oct 6th)
Sailing through the Greek Isles along the Peloponnesian coast. Left from Athens. Christian Hofmann was our guide. Christian, brother of our instructor Gunther, has sailed the Greek Isles for over 10 years. Club Rio/Delta Sailing Club joined this flotilla. We took a 40+' Cat and a 40' monohull. DSC took a 38' boat plus Christian's 38. We had lots of fun.
Croatia's North Coast (Sept 16-23 2017)
Our 2017 trip was amazing. 17 people on 3 boats had a blast. An easy paced fun flotilla. Met at the end of the day or in the morning for sail plans. The itinery was adjusted to the weather and the will and health of those on the trip. This is the trip the rule all going had to have the Basics for their comfort, fun and the flotilla to be able to reach our destinations
Caribbean's Adventurous Windward Islands
First of the destination sails. Went for the Christmas winds with 2 boats. 42 Lagoon and 46' Bavarian. The Bavarian tracked so well in wind, wave and current they beat the cat to every destination. Visited St Lucia, St Vincent and Bequia. Dolphins off the bow is a great way to start a trip.
