DISCOVER UNFORGETTABLE CRUISING DESTINATIONS WORLDWIDE
Ocean Ad-Ventures is a specialist operator of crewed catamaran adventures for kitesurfers, wingfoilers, sailors and travellers who want to explore exceptional coastal destinations from the water.
We organise small-group sailing cruises in the Caribbean and the Mediterranean, including the Grenadines, Antigua and Barbuda, the Exumas, the British Virgin Islands, Sardinia and Corsica. Each journey combines comfortable accommodation aboard a catamaran with professional skippering, local exploration and access to remote kitesurfing and wingfoiling locations that are often difficult—or impossible—to reach from land.
Our international crew brings together experienced skippers, kitesurfing and wingfoiling instructors, chefs and hospitality professionals. We have sailed thousands of nautical miles, crossed the Atlantic and worked with watersports enthusiasts of different abilities and nationalities.
This practical experience helps us understand changing wind and sea conditions, choose suitable riding locations and adapt each itinerary to the weather, the group and the guests’ experience levels.

Franzi is happiest when she’s on the water. After many years of sailing in the German national team, she rediscovered her love for sailing and the freedom that comes with being out on the ocean. Earlier this year, she spontaneously crossed the Atlantic by sail. When she’s not sailing, you’ll find her wingfoiling, kitesurfing or surfing. Wind, rain, waves or sunshine – she’s happy with all of it, as long as there’s water and an adventure waiting.
