Meridian Adventure SAIL (sail.meridianadventures.com) is a new, ultra-exclusive private explorers club creating tailor-made and meaningful voyages in the world's most remote and unspoilt ocean locations aboard a fleet of exclusive luxury sailing catamarans. Each journey immerses guests in an authentic ocean adventure in nature to encourage appreciation of the beauty of a sea which has suffered less impact, as well as the human role as custodians of the ocean.

A Meridian Adventure SAIL itinerary encompasses the beauty of the destination above and below the water, taking guests deep within the interiors and along the shorelines for natural and local cultural immersion. For 2020 the catamaran fleet will be based in Raja Ampat, Indonesia, an epicentre of unspoilt natural beauty and coral and marine diversity.

Meridian Adventure SAIL is uniquely tailored to offer multiple catamarans at once for a group voyage, whether a multigenerational family adventure or celebration, corporate getaway to escape in nature or a group of friends wishing to spend time together. Departures feature from one to six catamarans, with up to 32 guests that may be hosted. When operating as the full fleet, up to 24 exceptionally trained crew are on hand throughout the sailing, alongside three high-tech dive boats and nine dive masters.

The voyage is a seamless booking experience for the most discerning guests to quickly take a small or large group away, operating on an all-inclusive basis including all water and land-based activities.

Choose to relax and enjoy the breath-taking scenery, or gain a first-hand seafarer's experience assisting the crew with the rigging. A wide range of activities are included in the voyage, from top-of-the range diving equipment and custom Gemini dive-boats, PADI qualifications, paddle boards and rocket wake surf boards to Seabobs and fishing gear. Daily menus created in the yacht galleys reflect the food available locally and in a sustainable manner.

Leaving a limited footprint is critical to each voyage. The environmentally friendly ethos means sailing from place to place pushed by mother nature. Semi-custom built, the Meridian Adventure 62' Catamaran delivers a smooth sailing experience from the stability of its two hulls. Low-emissions allow low-impact navigation of hidden coves and sails are raised at every possible opportunity to allow the catamaran to glide with silent ease thanks to the equatorial winds.

Meridian Adventure founder, Sean Galleymore remarks on the launch of Meridian Adventure SAIL: “As the ocean is plagued with critical issues with plastics proliferating our ocean to far extremities, and coral being widely affected by climate change and pollution, we have found that there is a need to take people to parts of the world where the ocean can inspire them. Our journeys help people understand what the ocean ecosystem should look like and leave them with a consideration for the world and an understanding of its beauty. At every step of the way, as a sailing safari, we tread lightly and ensure the maximum consideration for the environment we operate in.”
