About Star Clippers

Star Clippers operates genuine tall ships — square-rigged clippers under thousands of square metres of sail, carrying 170 to 300 guests. You can climb to the crow's nest, help hoist the sails or lie in the bowsprit netting watching dolphins.

Winter sailings cover the Caribbean's Windward and Leeward Islands with anchorages instead of cruise terminals; summers run the Greek islands, Dalmatian coast, Riviera and Balearics. Days are relaxed and barefoot — watersports from the stern platform, two small pools, open bridge policy and dinner with no dress code. It is the closest thing to a private yacht charter at cruise prices.

Square-rigged sailing

Real clipper ships under sail, not motor yachts with decorative canvas.

Climb the mast

Guests can go aloft to the crow's nest with the crew and harness.

Hidden anchorages

Small bays and islands the big ships cannot reach.

Barefoot atmosphere

No dress code, open bridge and watersports off the stern platform.
