Freedom and Privacy at sea

The sailing season is waiting for you!

Finally: after the second pandemic winter with many restrictions, the situation has eased somewhat, travel is possible again. Vacations are approaching, Mediterranean countries are preparing for the season and for people who want to enjoy the summer on board their private charter yacht, it’s high time to book.

But where should the trip go, where can you fly to without too many complications or quarantine, where will you find beautiful free charter yachts? 

The top destinations in the Mediterranean in summer 2021 will be the Balearic Islands, Greece and Croatia. All three destinations are already open for tourism, charters are possible without any problems.

SPAIN – Balearic Islands

Mallorca, Ibiza, Formentera and Menorca attract with dream bays, beautiful towns, beach clubs, excellent cuisine and a large selection of sailing yachts, catamarans and motor yachts for bareboat skippers and luxury yachts with captain and crew.

Those who fly to the islands from abroad, must register before entry at  https://www.spth.gob.es/. A Covid test is mandatory before entering the country. 

The regulations for the entry from the Spanish mainland or the Canary Islands will probably be adjusted before the beginning of summer – information about the current status can be found here https://www.ibsalut.es/es/viajar-a-baleares/.

Whether the Balearic Islands will no longer require a test from vaccinated persons in the future has not yet been determined!

SPAIN – Canary Islands

There are not too many sailing yachts stationed on the Canary Islands in summer, but especially for sailing enthusiasts who would like to have a little Atlantic feeling, there are some charter fleets. 

If you are coming from abroad, you can also register at https://www.spth.gob.es/. Residents of the Peninsula can find more information here:

GREECE

Since mid of May Greece is again open for yacht charter without restrictions.

The customer only has to decide whether he wants to sail in the Ionian Sea, the Gulf of Athens, the Cyclades or the Dodecanese, there are still enough sailing and motor yachts, only the offer of crewed catamarans in high summer is already getting scarce. 

Entry is possible with a negative test, with proof of a recently overcome covid disease or simply with proof of vaccination for  details see https://travel.gov.gr/#/.
