After years of saving, scrolling, liking, and dreaming, 2026 is shaping up to be the year travelers finally take action.
This is the year to put the phone down.
This is the year to book the dream trip.
This is the year to go sailing.
American Sailing Vacations is officially declaring 2026 “The Year of the Sailing Vacation” with the launch of its new campaign: Stop the Scroll — an invitation for travelers to trade screen time for sea time.
To inspire action, the company is offering $500 off select 2026 sailing adventures when travelers use the CODE: STOPTHESCROLL at booking.
The Movement: From Screen Life to Sea Life
Modern travelers spend hours each week consuming aspirational travel content — Mediterranean coves, Caribbean turquoise waters, classic schooners slicing through sunset skies.
But too often, those images remain just that: images.
“People don’t need another travel reel,” said Zeke Quezada, Director at American Sailing Vacations. “They need the experience. 2026 is about moving from dreaming to doing, from scrolling to sailing.”
The Stop the Scroll campaign is designed to encourage travelers to disconnect from devices and reconnect with something real: wind, water, community, and curated adventure.
Curated Sailing Experiences Included in the Campaign
The $500 savings applies to select 2026 departures across five signature voyages:
Lenny Shabes Sailing Festival - BVI Flotilla
A vibrant celebration of sailing, camaraderie, and shared adventure. Sail in company by day, gather dockside by night, and experience a week that blends seamanship with celebration.

Why 2026? Travel trends are pointing clearly toward a growing desire for smaller, curated group experiences, meaningful connection and shared adventure, digital-detox environments, and slower, more immersive journeys. Sailing delivers all four in a way few vacations can. There is no endless feed at sea, no algorithm, no notifications competing with the horizon. Instead, there is wind filling the sails, morning swims in open water, and conversations that stretch long past sunset. It’s a shared journey where the experience, not the post, becomes the story.
The Offer
Travelers who use the promo code STOPTHESCROLL can save $500 on select 2026 sailing adventures when booking through American Sailing Vacations.

The images are beautiful. The reels are inspiring. The dream trip looks incredible on a screen, but it feels even better under sail. In 2026, American Sailing Vacations invites travelers everywhere to stop watching other people live their adventures and start living their own. Put the phone down, step aboard, and catch the wind. It’s the sailing season.
