Nonstop highlights await around every corner, whether you sail through Croatia or explore Greece. The destinations are yours to choose, but one thing is clear, this trip is all about shared moments.

On our solo sailing holidays, you simply book a single berth, share a skippered yacht with other solo travelers, and instantly become a crew. It is the most relaxed way to experience sailing as a single traveler.

Discover the highlights of solo traveling

Travelling alone with sailwithus

First things first, because it matters deeply to us: sailing beginners are warmly welcomed! You do not need any prior experience or certificates to set sail with us. Relax and trust your experienced skipper on board, who comes with your solo trip. Your friendly skipper will teach you the basics and happily show you everything step by step.

What kind of traveler are you?

What kind of traveler are you?

Some travelers love all inclusive resorts and crowded tours, while others crave unique, tailored experiences. Our solo trips are built for the second group. For people like you: relaxed, easygoing, and adventurous. You will meet crewmates aged 20 to 45 who are all traveling solo. No couples, just like minded people who enjoy group activities while still having total freedom to unwind.

Lean back and relax!

Lean back and relax!

All you need to do is book your trip with sailwithus, and we handle everything else. From securing the yacht and expert skipper to planning the local route, we have you covered. Each yacht features three to five cabins, hosting between five and ten guests total. Cabin sharing is simple: you will share with a fellow solo traveler of the same sex, or you can sign up with a friend to share a room. Want to sleep under the open sky? The deck is always ready for stargazing. If you prefer extra privacy, single cabins are available upon request. You choose what works best for you!

Flexible sailing route

Flexible sailing route

Your solo holiday is perfectly planned, yet flexible enough to adapt to the weather, wind, and your crew's mood. Your skipper provides expert suggestions, but you and your group choose the final route. You will usually spend three to six hours on the water each day before mooring in a harbor or dropping anchor in a secluded bay. Since sailwithus often sets sail with a fleet of yachts, evening anchorages are a fantastic chance to meet up and socialize with other crews.

Yummy, Yummy

Yummy, Yummy

Food on board is completely up to you. Cook together in your yacht's fully equipped galley, or head ashore to sample authentic Mediterranean dining at local tavernas. Breakfast and light lunches are typically enjoyed right on the boat. On day one, your crew stocks up on groceries using a shared kitty fund. Want even more freedom? You can book an entire yacht exclusively for your group of friends!
