Sun, Sea & Stunning Men: A Sardinian Sailing Saga

Sardinia takes everything great about Italy and turns the heat up—in every sense. The very best way to experience the spicy Italian island is from the decks of a luxury yacht with Pride Sailing on September 13, 2025. Beginning in the fabulously French colony of Corsica, you’ll sail across to anchor at six uniquely gorgeous ports along the coast of Sardinia. You’ll relax on beaches with cobalt-blue waters, snorkel in secluded coves, explore charmingly rustic towns, drink in bustling bars full of beautiful Italian men and more. The crew is entirely gay-friendly, and you can even try your hand at sailing under the guidance of a qualified skipper. We can wholeheartedly recommend Pride Sailing Holidays as we’ve hosted some trips for them ourselves - hear all about it on our Queer Travel Chat episode: Gay Sailing Trips in Greece.

DON’T MISS OUT!

The September 13, 2025, departure is going to be - as ever - an amazing group - and there’s still one spot left in a shared Forward Cabin for a solo traveler. Ready to spend 7 days with like-minded travelers making unforgettable memories? Book now!

Gay Travel Guide to Rehoboth Beach

Rehoboth actually means “room for all,” and there’s certainly that on its mile-long wooden walkway and hot sandy beaches. The city refuses to sell out to the man (or rather, big chain stores), and its boardwalk remains lined with colorful boutiques, local craft stores, buzzing beachfront bars, farm-to-table restaurants, and even a family-owned attraction park. The gay scene is kicking and versatile, with fun gay bars which house both busy dancefloors and large terraces to take in the sea air, as well as more intimate, local-feeling taverns hosting drag brunches, karaoke, and piano shows.
