Costa Blanca & Costa Calida 1: Alicante - Cartagena - Alicante
A week of sailing along the Costa Blanca and Costa Cálida: islands, secluded coves, historic port cities, and approximately 200 nautical miles of the Mediterranean Sea. Route: Alicante – Tabarca – Santa Pola – Cartagena – Mazarrón – Torrevieja – Alicante.
This sailing trip takes us from Alicante along the southern Costa Blanca. On the return journey, we head north again and end our trip where it began: in the heart of Alicante.
Along the way, we experience very different sides of the Spanish Mediterranean coast. We anchor off small islands and sheltered bays, visit historic port cities, sail along unspoiled stretches of coastline, and always have time for a dip in the Mediterranean.
At approximately 200 nautical miles, this trip offers ample time for proper sailing. Those who wish can actively participate, take the helm, assist with sailing maneuvers, and gain experience. Sailing experience is welcome but not required. We'll be underway every day, experiencing a surprisingly diverse coastline over a relatively short distance.
No journey according to schedule
A sailing trip depends on wind and weather. Therefore, we understand the described route as our planned itinerary – not as a rigid timetable.
Our skippers decide daily, based on the weather and wind conditions, which route we sail, which bay is suitable for anchoring and which port we enter.
This can change the order of individual stops. In good conditions, we can sail longer, and at particularly beautiful anchorages, we might even stay longer.
The goal always remains the same: to sail as much as possible while experiencing the most beautiful aspects of this coast.

Life on board the LILLI
A week on a classic 19-meter sailing yacht means leaving everyday life behind for a few days.
In the mornings we have breakfast in the cockpit, then the sails are hoisted. There's time along the way for swimming, reading, relaxing, and of course, active sailing.
In the evening we either lie in a harbor and discover restaurants and old town alleys – or we anchor in a sheltered bay, cook together on board and enjoy an evening under the open sky.
With a maximum of five guests, there is plenty of space on board and enough room for personal attention from our crew.
Who is this trip suitable for?
This trip is ideal for anyone who wants to combine sailing and vacation.
Beginners can gain their first experience on a large sailing yacht without pressure to perform. Experienced sailors can actively participate, log sea miles, and explore a diverse coastal route.
At the same time, there is still enough time for what makes a Mediterranean holiday special: swimming, good food, interesting cities, small harbors and evenings at anchor.
That's what makes this trip special.
