At SV Indie Sky, we’re not a charter company—we’re a sailing school and adventure company.
In partnership with NauticEd, we offer immersive, hands-on training experiences designed to develop real skills, build confidence, and ignite your love for life at sea.
This isn’t a packaged vacation. It’s a working expedition, where every crew member contributes, learns, and grows.
Our programs focus on three interconnected elements: Exploring, Dreaming, and Discovering.
Each voyage is a dynamic, unscripted adventure shaped by weather, curiosity, and crew collaboration. With no fixed itineraries, we treat the sea as both guide and classroom.
You might find yourself navigating to a volcanic anchorage, discovering a village only reachable by dinghy, or snorkeling through underwater caves. You’re not just a student—you’re an active part of the decision-making process: where we go, when we move, what we do next.
This is seamanship through exploration.
Thinking of becoming a full-time sailor? Wondering what it would really take to live aboard? We’ll show you.
With us, you don’t just log training hours—you live the lifestyle. From route planning and provisioning to repairs, customs clearance, and offshore watch rotations, you’ll experience all aspects of running and maintaining a vessel.
You’ll take the helm, make sail trim decisions, monitor weather, and learn how to lead as a captain—not just in calm conditions, but when things get real. And yes, no prior experience is necessary. We train as we sail.
Some expeditions are focused on certifications and skill-building through NauticEd. Others are about chasing wind, waves, or open horizons. Whether you’re preparing for an ocean crossing, refining your navigation, or learning to freedive, we build trips that go beyond the basics.
Certain journeys are led by our core crew; others bring in guest instructors, athletes, or adventure experts. But every trip shares one thing: a commitment to growth through experience.
We’re not a charter company, and we’re not a classroom on land.
We’re a NauticEd-certified sailing school that teaches by doing—aboard a purpose-driven expedition.
Each crew brings something new. Each destination reveals something unexpected. And every crew member who joins us leaves with deeper skills, stronger confidence, and a few stories worth retelling.
If you're looking for turn-down service and a pre-set itinerary, this probably isn’t for you. If you're looking to train, adventure, and grow as part of a real crew—welcome aboard.
Go while you can! Whether it's surfing, windsurfing, kiteboarding, winging, free diving, scuba diving, SUPing, and all things foiling we offer a range of adventure activities to suit any level of thrill-seeker and have something active to do regardless of weather conditions. We specialize in down-winders.
We don't just operate via wind and water, we love snow and dirt too. Some of our favorite land tour highlights have been skiing/snowboarding in the Alps, canyoning/waterfall jumping in Dominica, mountain biking down abandoned bobsled runs in Bosnia. We also know of a creepy abandoned Scooby Doo-esque water park in the Cyclades. We round up local guides to give you very unique and authentic experiences.
Experience the local culture and traditions of your destination with SV Indie Sky. Learn about the unique history and customs of the places you visit, and connect with the local people to gain a deeper understanding of their way of life. Our Crew and Guides have connections all over Europe, North Africa, and Central America.
At SV Indie Sky, we believe great sailors aren't born — they are built through experience, mentorship, and a willingness to learn from the ocean itself.
Our sailing expeditions are designed to increase skills, knowledge, and experience for all levels of sailor. Whether you're a beginner eager to understand the fundamentals or an experienced sailor looking to sharpen offshore skills, our expeditions offer real-world, real-time training in a dynamic liveaboard environment.
If you want certifications, we can offer those too.
At SV Indie Sky, we believe true leadership isn’t built in boardrooms — it’s forged in real moments of challenge, uncertainty, and discovery.
Our executive coaching expeditions are designed for leaders who are ready to break through plateaus, recalibrate their focus, and reconnect with what drives them. Set against the dynamic, unpredictable environment of offshore sailing and adventure sports, these experiences strip away the noise of daily life and reveal the patterns, habits, and mindsets that either fuel success or hold it back.
The live-aboard lifestyle will completely fall apart any member of your family is not happy. Our family-friendly "Try out life as a live-aboard" packages are designed to create an unforgettable first impression for life on the water for your entire family.
We leverage years of experience living on board with kids to provide a blueprint for your family to not only be safe and self-sufficient, but also have fun and keep family/crew morale high. Even while home schooling...
At SV Indie Sky, our vision is to create transformative expeditions where adventure, skill-building, and personal discovery converge.
