Morphology
The meaning 'a recreational journey by boat' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'sailing' (traveling by sailboat) with 'adventure' (an exciting or unusual experience). This noun–noun composition is a regular, compositional pattern found cross-linguistically, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Sailing adventure brings to mind a small boat with the wind in its sails as people explore new islands. Sailing means going by sailboat and adventure means an exciting trip, so the phrase means 'a journey for pleasure made by boat'.
