Happy guests

We are very happy that many passengers have given their trust to us (again). A number of passengers we have several times on board the last few seasons and even some guests during 1 season! On behalf of all captains and crew we like to thank everybody very much who has been on board with us. Sailing season 2019 was once again a great success. The yachts were full of enthusiastic guests and already we receive many new requests for 2020 and even some in 2021. We hope to see you (again) on board.

Latest news

Since 2019 we have a new captain on board of Borina1, Mehmet Orhan. A great sailor and a lot of experience in Blue Cruises. 2019 Was one of our best sailing seasons. Our first guests were on board in April, last passengers left the boat 31 October. All 3 yachts sailed more then 20 weeks each (!). We welcomed a very special group on board, a team from Brazil with EMMY AWARD winner Sylvestre Came and some profssional Kite surfers. They were on board for 40 days (!), filming for TV in Turkey and Greece.

This winter our plan is to change the first 2 cabins on yacht Laguna, to make it 1 large room, ideal for families. Plus the deck of Borina and maybe the bathrooms as well. We will keep you updated via social media.



Ventus sailing marketing

In the past (and present), there has been a lot of press on board of our yachts and there have been travel reports in various magazines and newspapers, like Mail on Sunday. In addition, Ventus Sailing was on TV in the travel program of 3OPREIS, the biggest travel program in Holland.
Our passengers come mainly from the Netherlands, UK and Belgium. In addition, we have been working together with an agency in the UK, Belvedere Travel, for many years. Owner of Belvedere Travel is mrs. Jane Blount.
Our guests come mainly on board via social media, word of mouth, repeaters and internet. Ventus is also regularly on a holiday fair.

Ventus in winter

In winter the yachts are being maintained by the crew at a local shipyard and undergo repairs. The crew also take part in several workshops, such as an English language course and a sailing course and they get instructed about safety on board as well. Most of the crewmembers have a good working knowledge of English, but they do have a different cultural and linguistic background and are therefore not advanced speakers of English. They will try and serve you, however, the best they can.

About us

Owner of Ventus is Robert Jan Oberink, a well-known name in the world of sailing cruises. Robert Jan has a lot of expertise and experience in the 12 years he has worked as a commercial manager at a tour operator (Tussock Cruising) in sailing cruises. Ventus Sailing Cruises exists since 2008. The Head Office of Ventus is in Amersfoort, Netherlands with small offices in the UK and Bodrum, Turkey, as well.
Our regular partners in Turkey are carefully selected. We rent so no gulets of the market. We have our own fleet of wooden yachts. Because of this we can offer you a good price/quality ratio of the yachts, crew and care.

We are a green company

We organize sailing cruises with enthusiasm and respect for nature, environment and the local population with its own use. We sail as much as possible and as little as possible on the engine. The crew comes from nearby villages, provisions on board is often bought from fresh local markets. On board of each yacht we have solar panels.

"Wederom genoten van 2 heerlijke weken. 1e week op de Laguna met kapitein Mehmet en chef Mustafa. 2e week op de Borina met de andere kapitein Mehmet en chef Zafer. Op beide schepen geweldig gezeild en geweldig gegeten. Bemanning zorgt dat je niks te kort komt. Lekker buiten slapen en zodra je een oog open doet staat een van de bemanning’s leden al met een kop koffie voor je. Daarna volgt een heerlijk ontbijt, waarna we na de briefing de zeilen hijsen en gelang de wind een aantal uur zeilen. Voor de lunch nog ff zwemmen of suppen waarna we in de middag nog een stukje gaan zeilen. De kapitein heeft intussen een mooie baai in gedachte waar we de nacht gaan doorbrengen. Na het dinner nog een afzakkertje en dan zoeken we weer een plekje op het dek om de sterren te bekijken en heerlijk in de buitenlucht te slapen. ( ja je kan ook gewoon in je hut gaan slapen). Deze vakantie is voor ons de totale ontspanning, en de 5 sterren zijn dan ook meer dan verdiend".
