We sail with a maximum of 6 guests. Each of the 4 cabins has its own bathroom.

We sail from Andalusia via Ibiza to Mallorca and for travel to Almerimar we recommend a flight either to Almeria or to Malaga. Both cities are easily reached by air, and we can arrange private transfers for the journey to the harbour.

We sail from Andalusia to Ibiza This trip is ideal for gaining any remaining miles and experience needed for a sailing licence. Two night passages await us on this route, during which we share the watches. We'll be accompanied by the sound of the bow wave and the starry sky above. Beautiful bays around Ibiza and Formentera and culture in Malaga and Cartagena make this trip a perfect sailing experience.

Start of trip
The trip starts on Saturday in Almerimar, which lies east of the Costa del Sol, between Almeria and Malaga. Once everyone has claimed their bunks, we'll provision at the nearby supermarket. As soon as everything is stowed, we'll visit a nice restaurant and enjoy the local tapas.

Cast off towards Cartagena
Sunday starts with a generous full breakfast. Once the boat briefing is complete, we cast off for our first leg towards Cabo de Gata. If Neptune and the wind gods smile upon us, we might start our first night passage straight away and head directly to beautiful Cartagena. Anyone who has never sailed at night is in for a wonderful experience. Before us the sound of the bow wave, above us the starry sky and with a bit of luck we'll be visited by dolphins! In Cartagena's extensive natural harbour, which over millennia has seen and sheltered the merchant ships and war fleets of all seafaring nations, we'll moor at the town quay, right by the open squares and boulevards that invite an evening stroll. The next day we'll pay a visit to the nearby Mar Menor. This is a body of water connected to the open sea only by a very narrow channel. It feels like a large lake and the entrance with only 2.50m depth and the passage under the bridge are always an exciting highlight.

Off we go towards Ibiza
Depending on weather conditions, we'll either sail in short stages along the Costa Blanca, or make the long 140 nm passage directly to Ibiza and Formentera. Once we've left the mainland behind, everyday life feels far away. Perhaps we'll be lucky and catch a fish or be accompanied by playful dolphins. After sailing through the night, there are traditionally scrambled eggs with bacon in the morning. They never taste better than at sea after a night passage.

The Balearic Islands
Once we've reached Ibiza and Formentera, we'll let ourselves be enchanted by the almost Caribbean flair of these two Balearic islands. After the first part of our voyage was characterised by culture and long passages, we'll take it easy now. Anchoring in lovely bays, swimming and snorkelling or simply relaxed sailing are on the programme.

Towards Mallorca
A final longer passage follows towards Mallorca, where we'll drop anchor in the evening. After this long day's sail we'll enjoy a refreshing swim in the sea before conjuring up something delicious in the galley! The trip ends in Palma, where over a final dinner together we'll look back on this fantastic voyage.
