PlainSailing is a UK-based yacht and catamaran charter broker founded in 2014, operated from Manchester and working with hand-picked charter partners across multiple sailing regions. The company arranges both sailing yachts and catamarans in bareboat configuration for experienced sailors, skippered charters where a professional captain operates the vessel, and fully crewed options with onboard staff. Destinations span over 45 bases including Athens, Split, Dubrovnik and other Croatian ports, Greek locations from the Ionian to Dodecanese islands, Mediterranean ports in France, Italy, Spain and Turkey, UK locations in England and Scotland, and Caribbean islands including Antigua, Grenada and the British Virgin Islands.
