Everything to Sea nude gay cruise in Indonesia

All throughout 2023

They sail on a Pinisi boat, which is a large wooden sailing ship made completely without nails. As for accommodation, the Everything to Sea team offers a private room or the option to share with other guys… Note that their website describes the ship as “an ideal spot for men to enjoy each other – mind, body and soul”…

Wake up each day surrounded by sparkling blue waters and the smell of french-pressed coffee with a delicious breakfast. Peer over the side of the boat as you approach your next adventure for the day. Expect to see lush green hills or volcanic mountains. Either way, you'll know you're in for a treat. You'll be setting sail aboard the gorgeous “Pinisi” boat – a large wooden sailing ship, made completely free of nails, in the traditional Indonesian Bugis style.

The staff are super friendly and informative, knowing lots of interesting facts to share about the places you will visit. With a mix of Western meals and local dishes, you'll have the temptation to try something new, as well as the comfort of your home favourites. From hot chilis to coconut and peanut sauces to tofu, there is a diverse range of new foods for you to try. You can expect fresh Juice-of-the-Day, and island fruits available all the time. Plus, the crew’s catch results in delicious fresh seafood.

Some of the highlights of this cruise include stunning sunrises and sunsets, a relaxed chill vibe amongst participants and crew, and nude dancing on a beach after a bbq. The cruise makes an effort to sail in secluded waters so that you are free of clothes (and free of worry) for as long as you want to be.  

Perhaps best of all, every day’s an opportunity for snorkelling. Take full advantage as you’re in the world-famous Coral Triangle. With colourful reefs, dazzling clear waters, and a marine population nothing short of amazing, the sea will feel like a whole new environment. Just picture this: six of the seven turtle species on the planet, giant sea stars, flying fish, bioluminescent plankton, and pods of dolphins. Not to be outdone, those manta rays (with average wingspans of 2 metres) will approach and surprise you with their size and grace. With all this biodiversity, you won’t be disappointed if you don’t see any mer-men…after all, there will be plenty of live men right on the boat!

On this gorgeous wooden ship, you can book cabins with either queen-sized beds or four single beds. All meals are provided for you by the onboard cook, as well as alcoholic drinks, snacks, a massage every three days and even body shaving services. Get ready to be pampered!

As for the sights, we’re amazed by the locations and wildlife you can enjoy on this trip, such as crystal clear water, breathtaking mountains, flying fish, flying foxes and of course, the notorious Komodo dragons. Everything to Sea runs around 12 trips a year. Prices differ depending on whether you choose a four-day or seven-day cruise.

Clothing optional gay cruise in Thailand

24 December – 31 December 2023

Often referred to as ‘The Land of Smiles', the Thai people are considered to be warm, hospitable and we rate it high on our list of the most gay-friendly countries in Asia! This makes it the ideal destination for a gay cruise. Not only are the people fantastic, but the sights along the coastline are something to behold.

The cruise is worth doing alone for the visit to Koh Hong. It's a cluster of islands surrounded by limestone pinnacles and underground caves, offering plenty for you to explore. Enjoy a quick dip in the waters before venturing through a tunnel into an enclosed lagoon. Your jaws will drop as you enter into a room that's big enough to throw a fabulous ball in.

Now, if you've checked the dates, and are scratching your head, then yes, this cruise takes place over Christmas. But why not swap out the snow and family squabbles for a festive season in the sun and Thai waters? The cruise members pull out all the stops to make it feel extra special, with Christmas crackers, dinner, and great company – you'll happily substitute your family relatives for your new gay fam!

Towards the end of the week, you'll get the chance to roam around the Thai fishing villages, and stand atop of the Ko Chang Lat cliffs – you'll feel like you're on top of the world! With chatty locals and plentiful market stalls, there is so much to see and so much culture to learn from.

This cruise takes place on two luxury air-conditioned catamarans with spacious rooms. Each catamaran hosts up to ten guests but you'll be able to socialise with up to 19 other gay guys each day.
