Unique Cruise Experiences & Sailing Tours

If you’re looking for something that makes people say “Wait, you did what?” - sailing activity gifts are the answer. Tinggly offers more than standard boat trips; think private sunset sails along Rio’s iconic coastline, luxury catamaran cruises in Costa Rica with snorkeling and cocktails, or wildlife-filled sailing adventures through Florida’s Ten Thousand Islands.

These aren’t just scenic rides - they’re floating stories filled with sea breeze, secret coves, sparkling drinks, and unforgettable horizons. Perfect for travelers, romantics, or anyone who believes the best memories happen where land meets ocean.

Romantic Sailing Cruises

A romantic sailing cruise is the perfect gesture for those who love water and scenic views. Imagine drifting across Rio de Janeiro’s coastline on a private sunset tour with sparkling wine and tropical fruit, or sailing the serene Monterey Bay at dusk with complimentary wine. These are more than date ideas - they’re floating love letters.

Sunset Sailing Tours

Some people chase sunsets; others sail right into them. With our experience gifts, they can enjoy a sunset sailing trip on the Alster in Hamburg - gentle winds, waterside skyline, and snacks included - or hop aboard a luxury catamaran in Costa Rica, complete with snorkeling, cocktails, and ocean views that make emails feel fictional.

Private Sailing Tours

Perfect for special occasions or people allergic to crowds. Tinggly’s private tours lets guests learn to sail or just lounge while dolphins play nearby. Prefer city-meets-sea? The private sunset sail in Rio de Janeiro offers iconic coastal views, Brazilian caipirinhas, and total privacy on deck.

City Experiences - Brunch Cruise

For those who like their sightseeing with a side of croissants, city brunch cruises turn mornings into mini vacations. Picture floating past landmarks, coffee in hand, on calm river waters. Whether it's a gourmet brunch on a riverboat or skyline views from a deck chair, our experiences are perfect for birthdays, weekends, or pretending to be in a rom-com.

River Cruise Gifts

Slow travel, high charm. River cruises offer a relaxed way to explore cities without walking 20,000 steps. From European waterways to cultural city tours by boat, Tinggly’s river experiences are ideal for travelers, romantics, and people who secretly judge bad Wi-Fi.

Best Sailing and Day Cruises

Not all cruises need passports and ballrooms. Some are half-day adventures packed with memories - like snorkeling and sailing on a Costa Rican catamaran or spotting sea lions on a Monterey Bay sail. These days and sunset sailing cruises are perfect for families, friends, or anyone who answers emails with “Currently at sea”.

Fun Cruise Gifts

For the adventurous and easily bored, our cruise gifts involve more than sipping champagne. Think snorkeling stops, marine wildlife watching, fishing off the back of the boat, or swimming in hidden coves. Perfect for birthdays, bachelor(ette) parties, or anyone whose love language is “snacks and saltwater”.

Unique Cruise Ship Experiences

Want something they’ve never posted on Instagram before? Go unique. Under-the-stars sailing in Brazil, wildlife-spotting boat tours, champagne at sea in Germany, or island-hopping through mangroves and hidden beaches. These aren’t just cruise - they’re bragging rights.

Custom Cruise Experiences

Perfect when you want more than a standard sailing tour - you want the ocean, your own itinerary, and zero strangers photobombing your moment. With Tinggly, you can tailor every detail: choose scenic coastlines, add a private skipper, stop for a swim, snorkel, or even set up a surprise proposal at sunset. Whether it's designing your own coastal adventure in Rio or charting a personal sail through Florida’s tranquil islands, these personalised cruise tours turn the water into your own private escape.
