Can you summarize what you do?
For 10 years now, we have been running kite, foil and wing camps from sailing catamarans in some of the windiest and most iconic spots in the world, from the Greek Cyclades to Sardinia and Corsica, and from the Grenadines to Antigua and Barbuda. We offer beginner and intermediate lessons and coaching using radio communication and video analysis, as well as downwinders, taking you to secluded spots with world-class conditions that are often accessible only by catamaran.
Safety is our priority, without ever compromising on adventure and exploration. Our three-person crew manages all sailing, kite and wing activities, while taking care of all meals and life on board. We operate from 45 to 50ft catamarans specifically optimized for kite-sailing, featuring expansive living areas, dedicated gear storage, spacious flybridges, water makers, and quick response rescue ribs for assistance and lessons.
Onboard, we provide the latest North Kiteboarding gear: kites, boards, foil and wingfoils. We also offer wake-foil training and SUPs for light-wind days, and we capture photos and videos using professional cameras and drones to review the learning process. The logistics of kiting and winging from a sailing catamaran are truly priceless, allowing riders to live directly on the water from morning to evening, always in the right spot with the best wind conditions.
Where are you based, and when were you established?
We are based in Greece (Cyclades Islands around Paros), Sardinia and Corsica, the Grenadines, and Antigua and Barbuda. The Action Cruise was founded in 2015 by a group of friends passionate about the sea, sailing and kiting. We now have more than 10 years of experience running kite and sail camps from the catamaran in those areas.
Where are most of your guests from?
Our members who join us onboard are 20% from Italy and 80% from the rest of the world. We are an Italian Sportive Association, and our camps are open for members only. Anyone can request membership.
How long have you and your team been kiting?
The team is composed of IKO kite instructors, sailing instructors, and passionate adventurers. We’ve been kiting since around 2012 and sailing for many years before that. We are also passionate skiers and outdoor lovers, foilers, wingfoilers and paragliders.
What makes you special compared to other kite businesses?
What kiters joining us say is that they feel the passion and enthusiasm in what we do. I think this happens as we set The Action Cruise’s activities, not as a business, but as how our own private spare time and adventure would be organized. We do the best as we dreamed it when we started this adventure. For this reason, the atmosphere onboard is real, and we are able to share the same passion and enthusiasm with the kiters and wingers on board with us.
Can you talk us through some special moments from your most recent trip?
We’ve just come back from our camp in the Grenadines – two catamarans were sailing and kiting, foiling and winging there during December and January. From Martinique, we sailed to the Grenadines and hit up spots in Union Island, Tobago Cays, and many other islands and secret spots. It was an incredible experience with perfect kiting conditions, in a wild environment, finding secluded spots where we were kiting almost alone in beautiful lagoons – a great quality time and great progress for beginners and experts.
Anything special lined up for the next few months?
The dates for our Sardinia and Greece camps are up on our website. The Greek Cyclades camps are available throughout late June, July, August and the beginning of September, and Sardinia and Corsica camps are available in May, June and then again in September and October. The end of the year and January will be the time for the camps in the Grenadines from Martinique. We will offer more than 20 camps in 2026 in 3 or 4 different locations.
And why should our readers choose to spend their hard-earned money with you?!
We give our members the possibility to kite, foil and wing in unbelievable conditions, away from the crowds in unconventional and secluded spots that cannot be reached by land. We can move easily with the catamaran, following the wind and the best conditions, so you can kite and wing every day and enhance your skill level, including lessons, coaching, assistance and progressions in your kite and wing level. The downwinders from island to island following the catamaran are epic, and knowing there is a rescue boat is reassuring. Living, eating and sleeping on the catamaran with all the gear stored onboard minimizes logistic time and maximizes kite time. If your readers are looking for a unique experience far away from the crowd, with very good kiting and winging conditions led by a passionate and kind team, their money will be well spent with us.
