Elysian Sailing

Elysian Sailing is a boutique sailing holiday company created by Richard Reeves, offering curated private yacht journeys shaped by local culture, cuisine and understated luxury. Its itineraries explore more than 2,500 miles of coastline across the Mediterranean, Canary Islands and Caribbean, with over 20 carefully crafted routes designed for relaxed discovery rather than covering distance. Guests can visit hidden harbours, historic villages and coastal landscapes accessible by sea, with featured journeys including Provence and the Côte d’Azur, the Cyclades, the Amalfi Coast, Corsica, Turkey’s Turquoise Coast and St Vincent and the Grenadines.

Elysian’s modern catamarans serve as private floating villas, with bright interiors, spacious decks and four or five private cabins. Each yacht is crewed by a professional skipper and onboard chef. Guests can choose from three experience levels—Classic, Signature and Curated—ranging from a straightforward sailing holiday to a personalised journey shaped around their interests. The company also highlights six signature itineraries and provides attentive support from the initial enquiry through to the end of the voyage.
