Spain has been a cultural center of Europe for

Flamenco music, bull-fights, passionate people, wonderful beaches
and perfect climate. However, Spain's gorgeous
clear waters are a reason enough to pick it as your sailing
destination. If you choose to spend your vacation sailing in

Sailing in Spain, a land on the crossroads
between Europe and Africa, a land of long sunbathed beaches and
high snowy peaks, is one of the most rewarding and enthralling
experiences of one's life. This Mediterranean country offers so
much to discover that it would take several lifetimes to get to
know all its secrets. Spain, the space of merging
of so many various nations and cultures, is the perfect location
for embarking on a sailing adventure. Spanish climate is extremely
diverse but it is overall considered to be temperate. However, most
of the Iberian peninsula gets extremely hot during mid-summer, in
July and August, so the most comfortable and least exhausting way
to explore the country would be by sailing. Spring or autumn,
particularly May and October, is also a good time to charter a boat
because the weather is lovely and the country not as crowded as
during the summer months. Do not hesitate and just choose from our
superior yacht selection, bareboat or skippered charters and let us
plan your sailing vacation together.
Barcelona
The advantages of including Barcelona in your
sailing experience are myriad - nice waters, romantic beaches,
exciting fiestas, or exhilarating nightlife that this magnificent
city offers. You will be able to enjoy panoramic views of the city
from the sea as you sail along the coastline on your charter boat.
Barcelona's most important landmarks - La Sagrada
Familia, the skyscrapers of the Olympic Marina, the Cathedral,
Tibidabo Hill, the Collserola communications tower and others, will
be in your horizon. You may choose to start your sailing holiday
from our Barcelona base, or visit it during some
other part of your trip - it is all up to you.
Barcelona is a city vibrant with life, packed
with all sorts of cultural events, from music and film festivals to
religious ones. All these events, called fiestas, are definitely
the best reason to leave your boat and hit the city for a few
hours. Fiestas are absolute explosions of colors, fun, music and
fireworks plus they usually last all night through. Do not let your
sailing holiday pass without participating is one of such
events.
If you are interested in getting to know the people and customs
of Spain during your sailing holiday, you should know basic
information about that before you embark on your sailing
expedition. Like in the rest of Spain, people in
Barcelona are very open, cordial and friendly.
They are also, in general, very helpful and generous - the true
Mediterranean types. Now that you know the basics you are ready to
make a final step and charter a boat, thus making a step closer to
your sailing experience of a lifetime. If you are interested in
obtaining more information about the city before you go sailing,

Ibiza
Ibiza, a Spanish island in the Mediterranean
Sea, is an excellent sailing destination. Book a charter boat and
begin your holiday in the third largest of the Balearic
Islands archipelago. The Balearic Islands
are an ideal sailing destination mostly due to the Mediterranean
climate with rather mild winters and hot summers. Besides, the
winds are favorable as well, as they mostly come from the direction
of North. The Balearic Islands are also a
desirable sailing destination due to the fact that they have over
300 sunny days annually. Who could ask for more? Sailing in Ibiza
will be a very rewarding experience, especially for those who are
interested in vibrant nightlife - as Ibiza is a
well known "mecca of fun". Even though the island is today better
known for its party scene, it is also historically and culturally
rich and important. It is reason more to choose this UNESCO World
Heritage Site as your sailing destination. For more information
