The Mediterranean is predestined for paradisiacal Places for sailing, because it has the most beautiful and varied areas in the world.
These are the best providers.

The name barefoot sailing trips does not mean that you have to sail exclusively barefoot, do not worry - this term was chosen in reference to the "barefoot route": This describes a circumnavigation in the trade wind regions around the globe. There it is correspondingly warm and the sporty sailor likes to get rid of his footwear. So much for the name of the German sailing company, which represents the philosophy that its customers should be on the move in the most beautiful sailing areas of the world and enjoy the culinary delights - high pleasure on the high seas, so to speak.
The sailing trip is also combined with the visit of varied cultural sites and with sports; swimming in paradisiacal bays, snorkeling and enjoyment included. Two yachts belong to Barfuss Segelreisen, which are on the way on different routes. The special thing about it: Since the ships are specially equipped for long trips, anchoring can be enjoyed independently of marinas. Sailing and berth charter are possible in the following areas: Italy, Elba, Sardinia, Sicily, Malta, France, Corsica, Spain, Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza, Canary Islands, Gibraltar, Portugal, Madeira, Caribbean, Azores, Galicia or Morocco. Prices depending on program and number of persons.

Boutique Ocean Travel is passionate about offering its guests the most beautiful form of travel, namely that on the sea - comfortable, eventful and flexible. Private yacht cruises, as they can be found in the repertoire of the German sailing travel provider, are, so the company is convinced, the ideal way to travel, especially in times when individuality is becoming more and more important and people would rather avoid crowds; exciting sights along the coastal towns and water sports of all kinds included.
Boutique Ocean Travel promises, "Through our extensive network, we are able to fulfill (almost) all travel requests." Locally, one is nevertheless limited: Possible is a sailing trip off Croatia, along the coast of Istria or in the form of a sailing trip around the island world of Dalmatia. With the former, the cruise off Istria, one is guided along the picturesque coastline with its spectacular cliffs, dreamlike beaches and lonely bays. The yacht holiday is enriched - to the delight of all golfers - with two extraordinary golfing experiences. Prices depending on program and number of persons
