Sailing trips by the place

A charter sailing trip is an experience where you don't book the entire boat, but rather one or more berths on board. The sailboat already has a route, dates, and crew. You join the trip along with other travelers, and the skipper takes charge of the navigation. It's an alternative to traditional chartering a whole boat, especially appealing to those who:

• They do not have their own ship.
• They do not have nautical qualifications.
• They don't want to organize a crew.
• They travel alone or as a couple.
• They want to meet other people during the holidays.

They prefer to pay only for the berths they need. At Sailwiz, this model is part of the Cabin Charter offering: booking a berth or cabin within a pre-arranged experience.

It works simply:

1. Choose your trip: Search for the destination, dates, and type of experience that interests you most.
2. Check the details: Before booking, you can find out details such as the departure port, duration, boat, skipper, route, price, available places and specific conditions of the experience.
3. Book your place: You can book a single place or several if you want to travel with someone.
4. Contact the skipper: If you have any questions about the trip, you can contact the skipper before or after booking. Sailwiz facilitates this communication so you can learn more about the experience.
5. Get on board: On the indicated day you join the ship and the crossing begins.

From there, the experience will depend on the chosen trip: it may include sailing between coves, visits to towns and ports, anchoring, swimming, snorkeling, nautical activities or even long days of sailing.

One of the great advantages of this format is that you don't need to form a whole group to browse.

Traveling alone
You don't need to wait for your friends to go on vacation at the same time. You can book a single berth and share a boat with people you probably won't even know at the start of the trip. That's precisely why shared sailing holidays can be a different way to travel: in addition to discovering a destination, you spend several days with a crew who share your passion for the sea and sailing.

Traveling as a couple
If you're traveling with your partner, you can book two berths and be part of a shared crew. It's an alternative to traditional holidays if you want to combine destination, sailing, and life on board.

Traveling with friends or family
You can also book multiple berths to travel with others. You don't need to charter the entire sailboat if you're a small group. This option allows you to share the boat with other travelers and book only the berths you need.

Sailwiz's offerings go far beyond the typical week-long holiday. They currently offer experiences of varying lengths and features. The category itself includes everything from short trips to multi-week ocean voyages.

Weekend getaways
A great way to try sailing if you've never sailed before. You can set sail for two or three days, explore a specific area, and return to your home port, or end your trip in another destination. For example, Sailwiz currently offers getaways that include excursions, fishing trips, and boat tours.

One-week vacation
It's one of the most common ways to enjoy a sailing holiday. A week allows you to combine sailing with time to anchor, swim, visit different places, and enjoy life on board. Among the experiences currently available are, for example, weeks sailing around Ibiza and Formentera, with a skipper and additional services depending on the chosen experience.

Journeys between destinations
On a cruise, the journey itself is part of the experience. Instead of always sailing in the same area, you can embark in one port and arrive several days later in another. Sailwiz currently offers experiences such as cruises between Mallorca and Gibraltar, Alicante and Cartagena, or Mallorca and other points in the Mediterranean, depending on availability.

Long voyages and ocean crossings
If you're looking for something far more adventurous, there are also long-distance voyages. This category currently includes experiences such as Atlantic crossings, journeys to Cape Verde, the Caribbean, the Galapagos Islands, and even multi-month sailing trips. These are not your typical vacations: on this type of trip, sailing plays a significant role, and the onboard conditions are very different from those of a week's holiday in the Balearic Islands.

One of the advantages of sailing with Sailwiz is the ability to choose from a wide variety of destinations. The offerings include trips along the Spanish coast, the Balearic Islands, the Mediterranean, the Caribbean, and other international destinations , with experiences ranging from a few days to several weeks.

In Spain, the Balearic Islands are one of the most popular destinations for sailing holidays. You'll find trips to Ibiza and Formentera, Mallorca and Menorca, as well as routes along the Costa Brava, Costa Blanca, Andalusia, Galicia, and the Canary Islands .

If you're looking to travel outside of Spain, you can find experiences in Greece, Croatia, Italy, Sardinia, Corsica, the Aeolian Islands, Turkey, France, or Montenegro . And for more special or longer trips, there are also options in destinations like the Grenadines, Martinique, Cape Verde, the Galapagos Islands, the Bahamas, or French Polynesia .
Availability varies depending on the season and dates, so you can use the Sailwiz catalog to compare destinations and find the trip that best suits your vacation.

The price depends mainly on the destination, the duration, the boat, and what each experience includes . A three-day getaway doesn't cost the same as a week sailing around the Balearic Islands or a multi-week ocean voyage.

For example, you can currently find a week-long sailing holiday around Ibiza and Formentera on Sailwiz starting from €850 per person on certain dates. For longer voyages, the price can reach several thousand euros per person.

It's also important to distinguish between the price per person and the price of the entire boat . On a shared trip, you pay for the berths you reserve, while on a private charter, you rent the whole vessel.

Therefore, when comparing prices, it is always advisable to look at the duration, what is included and what expenses are paid separately, and not just the initial amount.

Each experience has its own conditions. The price of a berth may include onboard accommodation, the skipper, and certain services, while on other trips some expenses are managed through a common crew fund.

These expenses may include food, fuel, moorings or anchorages , although not all trips work the same way.

Specific information is available on each experience's page. Before booking, check what's included and what you'll have to pay during your trip. This will allow you to accurately compare two sailing holidays, even if they have different prices.

On a shared sailing trip, you'll be living with other people in a confined space for several days. Cabins, the lounge, kitchen, and bathrooms are all shared, and depending on the trip, some onboard chores may also be assigned.

It doesn't mean you have to know how to sail or be in charge of steering the boat: the skipper directs the navigation . However, in many experiences, travelers can help with small tasks, participate in maneuvers, or simply help maintain the common areas.

If this is your first shared sailing trip, it's advisable to check before boarding how cabins, meals, expenses, and living arrangements work. Sailwiz also offers a specific guide with recommendations for planning a shared sailing trip.

No. Many experiences are designed for people with no prior sailing experience and include a skipper who is in charge of steering the boat.

If you want to learn, some trips allow you to participate in maneuvers and learn how to plan a route or how to steer a sailboat. If your goal is to learn to sail, review the details of each trip, as not all voyages include an educational component.

The most important thing is to pack light . Space on board is limited, and a soft bag is usually more practical than a hard suitcase.

For most trips, you'll need comfortable clothing, a swimsuit, sunscreen, sunglasses, a light jacket for the evening, and appropriate footwear for the boat. It's also a good idea to check beforehand if the experience includes bedding, towels, or equipment for activities like snorkeling or paddleboarding.

Before boarding, always check the skipper's instructions. Needs can vary considerably between a summer getaway in the Balearic Islands and a multi-day voyage.

Sailwiz lets you enjoy a sailing holiday without having to buy a boat, rent a whole boat, or assemble a crew yourself .

It works simply: you choose the experience, reserve one or more places, and join an organized trip with a skipper and other travelers. You can travel alone, as a couple, with friends, or with your family, depending on the conditions of each experience.

Before booking you can compare destination, dates, duration, price, type of boat, conditions and reviews from other travelers.

Here you can find everything from a short sailing trip to a full Mediterranean holiday or a much more adventurous voyage. Choose your destination, find your sailing trip, and book your place.
