About this tour
Learn to sail a yacht with Karl, a seasoned offshore skipper, across eight hours exploring Formentera's crystalline waters and secluded beaches. You'll master the fundamentals of handling a proper sailing vessel—trimming sails, reading wind and water—then decide whether to stay aboard enjoying the rhythm of the sea or slip ashore to wander the island's quieter coves. Snorkelling gear, paddleboards, and a spread of cured meats with wine included.
Highlights

- Navigate Formentera's turquoise bays under full sail
- Snorkel pristine reefs direct from the boat deck

What to expect
Karl will walk you through sail theory and boat handling—nothing overly technical, but enough to understand how a yacht responds to the helm and wind. You'll spend the morning sailing toward Formentera, taking turns at the wheel if keen. Once anchored in clear water, you're free: snorkel the seabed, paddle out on the SUP, or tender ashore to explore white-sand beaches and village bars. Lunch happens on deck—olives, salami, crisps—with wine flowing. The boat becomes your base; no rushing between scheduled stops. Afternoon is yours to repeat any activity or simply drift.
Good to know
Fuel surcharge is €20 per hour, separate from the tour price. Public transport connects nearby if you prefer the island independently. All fitness levels welcome; no swimming ability required to enjoy the boat and scenery.
