There are no problems with transport in Spain. Arriving at one of the airports (the main ones are in Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Malaga, Seville, Alicante, and Bilbao), tourists easily find buses to one of the nearby resorts. The railway is well-developed between cities, and the ports of Spain regularly accept international cruise ships, so the plane is not the only way to get to this beautiful country.

Spain is a country in the south-west of Europe, which has long been one of the most popular countries for tourists. Tourists can explore there unique historical sights, monuments of religion and architecture, museums, national parks, nightclubs, excellent restaurants, marinas and many other things. A mild climate (without a rainy season), relatively low prices, local coloring, and customs, as well as beautiful nature complement the vivid image of Spain.

Spain travel itinerary

Visiting card for yacht tourism in Spain — Canary Islands. There are breathtaking landscapes, white beaches, coastal reefs, and a warm climate.

A more complicated, but no less interesting destination for yacht holidays in Spain leads us into the open ocean through the Strait of Gibraltar. Strong winds blow at the transition between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. Here you can meet a whale or a dolphin overboard. This is very pleasing when relaxing on a yacht with children. Spain in this area borders with two states — Great Britain and Morocco. A border may require a visa.

In the northern part of the Spanish Kingdom, you can relax on a yacht in the ocean and explore the cultural, historical heritage of this country. Sailica advises you to plan your yachting routes along the Spanish coast from April to November. The rest of the year, the northern regions often storm, and the temperature drops below comfortable for relaxation.

Rinke Tiegel

Full recommendation. Great service & support. We chartered a Beneteau 45 in Athens for our trip around Peloponnes. Great service and perfect customer support from beginning to the end. Due to corona we had to postpone our trip - Sailica managed all the communication with the charter agency and negotiated a great new deal for us. This was already the 2nd time we charted with Sailica and it won't be the last time. Full recommendation

Kyle Redstone

I took Dufour Grand Large 560 at Croatia using online yacht rental service sailica.com It's easy to use their mobile app with fair prices and enough quantity of boats which suits to my parameters. Their managers assisted me through whole communication with charter company. It was pleasant to receive a small gift – free of charge transfer from airport to marina. We didn't request it and appreciate their overexpected level of service.

Julian Lehmann

Amazing 1 week in Turkey! I sailed with Sailica on a tour in the gulf of Fethiye in Turkey. Overall it was a great experience and a great crew, even if I did not know them before. The area is amazingly beautiful and if you go in April you can avoid the crowds. The skipper was very proficient and knew what he was doing. Highly recommended!

Mykyta Semenoff

Great company! The guys answered all our questions which were very important since it was our first sailing experience. Moreover, they advised us not only on a charter but also on the tour itself. This was not the responsibility of the company, but we needed help and the company managers helped us for free. I highly recommend the team. The guys are really reliable, proactive and customer-oriented.

Vadim Rogovskiy

Excellent trip to Croatia! The trip was organized on an excellent level since the very beginning - from the yacht search to the trip itself. The team was fast and responsive. Highly recommended to everyone who wants to hang out with family on a beautiful yacht or catamaran!
