Best places for sailing

Mediterranean – best place for sailing in world is on our doorstep

Whenever I close eyes and imagine perfect place for sailing, see blue stretching to horizon, pearly islands and wind gently tensioning sails. And then open eyes and realize something – that paradise doesn’t exist only in imagination. It’s real and located just few hours from us.

Did you ever think that whole Mediterranean is one of absolutely best places for sailing on planet? From Portugal to Lebanon, by opinion of numerous sailors worldwide, our home region, this sea that surrounds, belongs in top – among top 5 global sailing destinations. And here arises biggest riddle: we almost don’t use it!
Instead of sailing out in our strait, often seek magic on other end of world, transport equipment to other continents, while most beautiful pearl shines below feet.

What gives Mediterranean that title of perfection? Let’s go through what every sailor dreams:

Archipelago of thousand islands – Imagine sea cut into pieces like mosaic. Islands, islets, coves, bays… Every mile of coast hides new corner, new sheltered station. That’s sailing labyrinth where you can’t get lost, and can always find solitude or company – as you wish.

Climate like from fairytale – Long season from April to October, sun that hugs, sea that invites. And then most precious: reliable maestral. That daily wind is like reliable friend – appears afternoon, gives you perfect ride, and gently withdraws before evening. It’s what turns sea into playground and enables to plan adventure day ahead.

All for all – Are you just starting and seek calm, sheltered waters? Mediterranean has dozens. Are you experienced seadog and want challenge? Open sea is within reach. This sea doesn’t choose – welcome is everyone who loves to sail.

Story and soul – Mediterranean isn’t just sea. It’s living history, culture that breathes sea. Marinas old as islets, fishermen houses offering fresh catch, people whose rhythms are aligned with tide and ebb. Safety, knowledge and hospitality here are part of landscape.

Why then skip this paradise? Maybe because “close”, so take it for granted. Maybe because seems exotic must be distant. But truth is different. Perfection for sailing isn’t over there – it’s here. On Mediterranean waves, under our sun.

Next time you think of sailing, don’t turn head across ocean. Look little closer. Most beautiful sea in world awaits you in backyard. Only stake is courage to sail out and discover it anew.

Sometimes greatest adventure doesn’t begin with ticket to other continent. Sometimes begins with weighing anchor from port you already know. Just hoist sail and surrender to Mediterranean wind, it knows way.
