Emanuele is an extremely kind, polite and helpful person. He told us many things about the lake, the surrounding villages, historical notes, navigation rules and answered all our questions. He let us steer the boat and gave us instructions on how to help him during the turns. In short, he made us part of the whole journey. And he's a great cook, too! Aperitif, spritz, lunch, coffee, fruit, desserts, there was everything! It was a beautiful day, relaxing and in good company.

Sailing day between San Vito Lo Capo and Zingaro Nature Reserve

Together with Jo and Andrea we did a beautiful day trip from San Vito Lo Capo to Scopello. Very pleasant weather on board, even if we were only one day, a great feeling was immediately created! The boat is great and well taken care of, and Jo and Andrea make you feel at home. The tour was also nice, and very relaxing. Highly recommended!!

8 reasons to choose a day trip on a sailing boat

  • To savour the magic of sailing for a day, and perhaps discover a new passion...

  • The perfect solution for people who want a unique and authentic experience but have little time.
  • A unique opportunity to meet new people and share the experience with like-minded travellers.

  • Disconnect from everyday life on any day of the week to connect with nature and breathe in the peace and tranquillity of the sea.
  • Various possibilities for activities during the day, including: a short sailing course, an offshore swimming, a regatta, a boat party, a catamaran trip, specific sports and wellness activities such as yoga.....

Everything you need to know about organising a day sailing trip

When is the best time to charter a sailing boat for a day?

Any time of year is a good time for a sailing trip. However, each season may be more or less suitable depending on the service required. A few examples:
if you want to learn to sail, we recommend that you board during the autumn or spring months and avoid the summer months, when prices are higher and there is more traffic at sea; if you want to take a trip, enjoy the view and take a swim, summer is perfect; if you are interested in trying out a regatta, the best time to participate is from April to November; if you are a fan of kitesurfing or windsurfing and would like to do it during your boat trip, the same time is ideal.

How much does a boat trip cost?

One-day boat trips are the most affordable of all the experiences available on sailsquare. For those who can't or don't want to take a skippered weekend or week-long sailing holiday, due to lack of time, money or simply because they're not sure they like it, the perfect alternative is to take one of our sailing trips. You'll find unique experiences from as little as €50 per day, and sometimes that's all it takes to have an unforgettable adventure!

The best destinations for a sailing trip

Depending on your needs, each destination can offer you different things when discovered from a sailing boat. If you are in the maritime areas of the Bel Paese, you can take day sailing trips from the main coastal cities: a day sailing in the Gulf of Naples or Capri, Costiera Amalfitana; from Milan you can explore the Liguria in a day on a sailing boat, if you live in the north you can take a trip to the main lakes (Lake Garda, Lake Como, Lake Maggiore) or around Venice (Venetian Lagoon) etc etc. With a day on a boat in Tuscany you can discover the coast as well as the islands of Elba and Giglio. In Europe, wherever you are on holiday by land, you can also discover something from the sea: the Balearic Islands, the Croatia, any of the Greek islands or the Northern Sardinia.

Sailing day trips

The luxury of a day trip on a catamaran, a magical sunset, a dip in the turquoise waters of a paradise beach, a pleasant evening under the stars on the deck of the sailboat, a fun night dancing on the boat with new friends, the discovery of secret dream places accessible only by sea.....

No more excuses! Day trips by boat are really for everyone, even those who never have time but are looking for affordable experiences. Let yourself be enchanted by the magic of sailing!
