to sail on board of ships

Hello!

Can you please tell me if this phrase is OK in the context:

In this show, after more than a decade actors AB and CD met again on stage, acting as marvellously as always and attracting the audiences to sail on board of ships provided by Croatian Navy every night from X to Y.

The show is staged on an island and spectators are transported by ship.

Thank you

First of all, "the audiences to sail on board of ships" would have to be changed to "audiences to sail aboard ships". However, the entire sentence sounds a bit awkward to me. Without knowing precisely what you are wishing to be made known, I would to change it to something like the following: After more than a decade, AB and CD met again on stage.

Thank you for your post. Can we say instead of audience members spectators?

as they set sail every night from X to Y. Who sets sails? Ships or spectators?

Thank you
