SAILING EXPEDITIONS
Chase your freedom. Find your adventure. Feel your peace.
Live a week full of sailing, nature, beautiful places & learning...
There is something special that draws one to sailing and a sailing adventure is one of the best ways to experience all of the magic that is sailing! Whether you are brand new or experienced, if you're curious about sailing as a vacation, a hobby, or as a lifestyle, there is so much to enjoy. You will likely meet new people onboard that often become great friends. A trip with challenges that help you expand your capabilities, build more confidence and experience as a sailor, and enjoy some of the truly unique experiences that are only possible through sailing.
Whether new or experienced, get prepared for your adventure...
For each full week of sailing, we take up to six motivated and adventurous crew members aboard for a hands on sailing experience. We welcome any level of experience as long as you are open to share in the responsibilities and willing to learn.
First the crew members each fly in to the nearest airport and arrive at the vessel (a ride share, taxi, bus or train segment might be necessary in some locations). Next we get settled in, get familiar with our vessel and start our food planning for the week including heading to a market for provisioning the food needed that we all choose for the week. The cost of provisioning is split among the crew (sometimes a cruising kitty is created for this purpose). We will discuss our plan and activities which are usually on a leisurely pace while still trying to make the most out of each day. There are often stops and anchorages along the way where we can enjoy swimming, snorkelling, visiting the towns along the coast and having dinners either aboard the boat or ashore as we decide. Our inflatable tender is a fun and uniquely cruising experience in how we access the shore from anchor and back each day.

“After venturing on my first bareboat sailing cruise in Croatia, I returned home with a passion to learn how to skipper my own yacht. Finding a local captain, Chris Steingraber, was as stroke of good fortune. He was able to take me out on the Barnegat Bay to teach me everything he knows about sailing. He is a very competent, knowledgeable captain and adept at teaching his skills to an amateur like me. I have confidence in his abilities and hope to cruise with him soon in the Mediterranean.”
-Sherry Roth
“Chris is a walking dictionary on anything that has to do with sailing. he's a great and funny guy, and yet very serious and foresighted when it concerns the safety onboard.”
-Aminta Iseppi
Chris has been a great guide and mentor in my sailing journey. I recently purchased my first sailboat and the manner in which Chris congratulated me and provided me unsolicited valuable advice demonstrated to me his enthusiasm and love of the sport, and his genuine helpful personality.
The times that I have sailed with Chris, his openness to share his knowledge from knots to the finer points of sail trim has been very helpful in demystifying sailing for me.
Looking forward to exploring the Raritan Bay with Chris, hopefully this time as a guest on my boat.
