Well here we are again – another year completed, and another truly record-breaking year!

Happy customers 2023: most customers ever! 

We always hope that each year will be bigger and better than the last, but the growth we have seen in the last 12 months has been staggering: we’ve had more boats on the water than ever before, in more places than ever before - and with more happy customers than ever before!

5 stars on Feefo 2023: 5/5 on Feefo! 

Aside from the number-crunching, 2023 also saw our Feefo ratings start to round-up to an incredible 5 out of 5 (based largely on our award-winning and super-responsive customer service, plus the fact that we don’t offer boats with operators we don’t trust to look after our customers in the way that they deserve).

Good for the planet 2023: Happy planet 

This season saw the launch of our hugely-popular ‘Sailing Holiday Photo of the Year’, plus the award of our fifth ‘University Sponsorship scheme’ to support grassroots sailing in the UK. We also signed up to become members of the British Marine and RYA’s Green-Blue Pledge, promoting sustainable sailing, and we were good for the world – for the second year running, we were carbon-positive (beyond carbon-neutral)!

2023 also saw us bringing our ‘Happy Customers’ front and centre - with actual photos from our sailing holidays being showcased on our homepage, or twice a week on our social media channels. And we have more than enough photos to tide us over to the next season too!

a decade of plainsailing.com 2023: a Decade of development 

Behind the scenes, we celebrated being in business for a decade! it’s been a busy year, with all sorts of developments and innovations being delivered by our fantastic team – helping to make the booking journey ever more simple and hassle-free.

We’ve worked hard, but we’ve also had a lot of fun along the way - this year has flown by! In fact, it feels like only a few short weeks since we switched from the Caribbean sailing season and started welcoming people onto their boats in Greece, Croatia and the Med!

Thanks 2023: a huge THANKS! 

2024 should be just as busy, and we’ve got lots in the pipework which we’ll announce in due course - but for now, we want to finish the year with a huge THANKS to all our customers, supporters, and, of course, our loyal staff. What a season!
