SAIL BREAK Countdowns Create a New Legend Every Year! 💥

As you know, SAIL BREAK’s new routes are one of the most anticipated announcements each year! When revealing our 2024 routes, we once again pulled off an unforgettable countdown!

This year, we created a one-of-a-kind countdown using custom-made flags in different locations. Many people thought these videos were AI-generated—we received tons of messages about it! 😅 But in reality, every single one was handcrafted and carefully filmed throughout 2023 to announce the upcoming season!

Each flag and every shot holds a unique story for us. Check them all out below! ⛵️

“10 DAYS UNTIL BOOKINGS OPEN” Video:

During the SAIL BREAK Göcek 2023 route, this was filmed in secret from the entire fleet! While sailing from Göcek to Fethiye, we raised a massive 10 DAYS UNTIL BOOKINGS OPEN flag on our crew boat! 🚩⛵️

“7 DAYS UNTIL BOOKINGS OPEN” Video:

Shot just before the SAIL BREAK Ibiza 2023 route, during one of SAIL BREAK’s most iconic moments—the Hippie Drums to Sunset Party at Cala Benirrás! 🌅

We unveiled our specially designed “7 Days Until Bookings Open” gonfanon/pennant flag right in the middle of the party! 🏴✨

“3 DAYS UNTIL BOOKINGS OPEN” Video:

As we mentioned, each flag holds a special meaning for us. The “3 Days Until Bookings Open” flags were filmed right in Istanbul’s Golden Horn.

We synchronized a parade with 3 Delphia 24 sailing boats in front of our VİRA Haliç headquarters, raising the flags on each boat’s mast! 😅

“2 DAYS UNTIL BOOKINGS OPEN” Video:

This time, it was the Kalamış – Princes’ Islands sail! 😎 Of course, the RIBs that endure all the hard work of every SAIL BREAK had to take center stage.

We used our “burgee” flag type for this one! We hoisted our giant burgee flag on the tall mast and completed our classic sail…

“1 DAY UNTIL BOOKINGS OPEN” Video:

For us, this video is titled—maybe it sounds a bit cheeky—“The Conquest of IBIZA!” 💪

As the SAIL BREAK Operations Team, during the 2023 route, we ceremoniously lowered our giant flag from the entrance of Ibiza’s iconic castle (Castell d’Eivissa)… 🏰🎉
