Planning Travel

There’s something timeless about setting out on a journey – the anticipation, the details, the “what if we just go?” moments that turn into lifelong memories. That’s where this begins.

Travel isn’t just about checking boxes or following a list. It’s about creating experiences that stay with you – the kind you talk about years later, the ones that feel personal, effortless, and just a little bit unforgettable.

As the owners of Sundowner Travel, we’ve spent years helping others explore the world in a way that fits them. Now, as we transition into life aboard our trawler and prepare for America’s Great Loop, we’re bringing that same approach into everything we do – blending real-world experience with thoughtful planning.


✈️ Travel Designed Around You

No two travelers are the same, and your trip shouldn’t be either.

Whether you’re dreaming of:

  • A relaxing coastal escape
  • A bucket-list European adventure
  • A river cruise or guided journey
  • Or something completely off the beaten path

We take the time to understand how you like to travel – then build something that feels effortless from start to finish.


🌍 Inspired by the Places We Go

As we travel – by land and by water – we’re constantly discovering destinations, hidden gems, and experiences worth sharing.

That means when you work with us, you’re not just getting industry knowledge…
you’re getting real, lived insight from the places we explore ourselves.


⚓ Travel While Living the Dream

Our life as liveaboards will add a unique layer to what we offer.

We’re not planning trips from behind a desk – we’re out here, navigating new places, adapting, exploring, and experiencing destinations in real time. All while continuing to run our business from onboard.

That perspective allows us to:

  • Think creatively
  • Plan flexibly
  • And design travel that feels natural, not forced

🧭 Let’s Start Planning

Whether you know exactly where you want to go or you’re just starting to dream, we’re here to help you shape it into something real.

Because in the end, it’s not just about getting there…

It’s about how you experience it.


Why Use a Travel Advisor?

One of the biggest misconceptions in travel is that using a travel advisor costs more – it doesn’t.

In most cases, our services are complimentary, as we’re paid through our trusted travel partners, not by adding extra cost to your trip. That means you get expert guidance, personalized planning, and ongoing support – often for the same price you’d pay booking it yourself online.

But what really makes the difference isn’t just the cost… it’s the experience.

When you work with us through Sundowner Travel, you’re not just clicking “book now” and hoping for the best. You’re getting real insight, thoughtful recommendations, and someone in your corner from the first idea to the moment you return home.

We help you:

  • Avoid common pitfalls
  • Find the right fit (not just what’s popular)
  • Add meaningful experiences you might not have found on your own
  • Have support if plans change along the way

It’s the way travel has always been done at its best – personal, informed, and built around you.

Because planning your trip should feel just as good as taking it.
