Wild WorkationEverything you want to know before you book
Booking, internet, cabins, seasickness, visas, pricing, team offsites — the questions people actually ask before joining a sailing workation, answered plainly.
Booking a Wild Workation trip
Pick a cruise and cabin, fill in a short form, and pay a 50% deposit to confirm your spot. The balance is due two weeks before departure. You can pay by bank transfer in EUR or by card via Stripe.
A 50% deposit confirms the booking. The remaining balance is due two weeks before departure.
Anything more than 45 days before departure is a free reschedule. Inside 45 days, a rescheduling fee covers the marina cancellation costs we incur — we handle those cases individually.
For peak season (June–September) we recommend booking 6–8 weeks ahead so we can secure the right boat. Off-season and smaller groups can often be arranged within a couple of weeks.
Prices are in euros (EUR). You can pay by bank transfer or by card via Stripe.
Working from the boat
Yes. Day to day it runs on strong 4G/5G plus marina Wi-Fi near shore, where most of the week is spent, with Starlink on board for open-sea passages. 1080p Zoom and Google Meet calls are reliable from anchor. Coverage can drop on long open-water passages or in remote anchorages.
Mornings are a focused deep-work block at anchor — quiet, shaded, with power and internet. In the afternoon the boat sails to the next anchorage and the day opens up for swimming, exploring, and dinner ashore. You get a full work day; the scenery changes around it.
It rarely does at anchor, where most work happens. The captain plans routes and timing around connectivity and weather, so focus blocks land where coverage is good. Strong 4G/5G and marina Wi-Fi near shore, with Starlink on the open-sea legs, mean we have run these trips for years without losing a scheduled call.
Yes. The boats have onboard power for laptops, phones and devices throughout the day. Bring your usual chargers and a EU plug adapter if needed.
Life aboard the yacht
None at all. Every boat has a licensed captain who handles navigation, anchoring and safety. You can help hoist the sails or simply enjoy the ride.
Most people do not. Catamarans are stable twin-hulled boats, the passages between anchorages are short, and we only sail in calm weather — the captain reroutes rather than push into rough conditions. If you are prone to motion sickness, simple over-the-counter remedies handle the rest.
You can book a berth in a shared cabin (the standard per-person price) or a full cabin for two if you are travelling as a couple or want privacy. We never pair strangers of different genders in a shared cabin.
Small, curated groups of remote professionals — typically 8–10 people per boat. No stag parties and no pure tourists; everyone is there for the same lead-with-work, deliver-adventure week.
Soft-sided luggage (hard suitcases are awkward to stow), light layers, swimwear, sun protection, deck-friendly shoes, your laptop and chargers, and noise-cancelling headphones for calls. See the first-time sailor checklist guide for the full list.
Where and when we sail
Turkey, Greece, Croatia and Montenegro in the Mediterranean, and Thailand in the Andaman Sea as a winter alternative.
The Mediterranean season runs April–October, with the peak in June–September. Thailand runs November–March, when the northeast monsoon keeps the water calm and dry.
It depends on the destination and your nationality. Turkey is visa-free 90/180 for EU citizens (e-visa for many others); Greece and Croatia are in the Schengen Area; Montenegro is visa-free on arrival for most; Thailand gives most nationalities a 30–60 day visa-free stamp. Each destination page lists the specifics.
Croatia. The Adriatic is predictable, thunderstorms are rare in high season, 4G covers nearly every island, and the time zone aligns with most European teams.
Pricing and what is included
Individual cabins run €1,100–€2,400 per person per week, all-inclusive. A whole-boat team offsite is €9,000–€12,000 per week.
The boat, a licensed captain, fuel, marina and port fees, end-of-trip cleaning, and linen. Groceries for the week are bought together and paid separately — not in the berth price.
Flights, personal spending ashore, and an optional crew tip. Budget roughly €25–€50 per person for dinners ashore (2–3 per week), €40–€80 for optional excursions, and around 10% of the cruise price as a tip if you enjoyed the trip.
A shared offsite is our standard option for individuals: a fixed per-person price for a berth on a curated boat of remote workers, with everything operational included. A shared charter is an alternative way to book — a small group co-funds a whole boat and votes on the vessel, with the full cost shown upfront and split with no markup. Most people book a shared offsite; ask us if you would rather organise a shared charter.
Team offsites and company trips
One boat comfortably hosts 4–8 people. Larger teams sail as a flotilla of two or more boats sharing the same route, anchorages and evenings, so a group of 20+ still feels like one trip.
Yes. We build the route, schedule, catering and activities around your brief — for example, planning the week around your sprint cadence. You get one invoice and one contact.
A shared boat puts the whole team on the same side of a small, real challenge, which builds trust no workshop can manufacture. There are no breakout rooms to force, the logistics are handled by the crew, and the change of scene resets people in a way an office never will.
Yes. RYC-partnered charters carry full commercial insurance, and your HR or legal team can request a copy of the cover certificate in advance.
Yes — a corporate regatta is one of our most popular team-outing formats. Crews race boat to boat over a few days, with a licensed skipper on each yacht, so no sailing experience is needed. It is high-energy corporate sailing and team building rolled into one event.
It is a natural fit. A startup retreat or founders offsite on a yacht gives a small team focused time away from the office, a custom route, and a shared experience that builds trust fast — at a clear all-in price with zero logistics for the organizer.
