How do I book a Wild Workation cruise?

Pick a cruise and cabin, fill in a short form, and pay a 30% 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.

How much is the deposit and when is the balance due?

A 30% deposit confirms the booking. The remaining balance is due two weeks before departure.

What is your cancellation and reschedule policy?

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.

How far in advance should I book?

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.

Which currencies and payment methods do you accept?

Prices are in euros (EUR). You can pay by bank transfer or by card via Stripe.

Is the internet good enough for video calls?

Yes. The workation fleet carries Starlink for stable, low-latency internet at anchor and on passages, backed by 4G/5G near shore. 1080p Zoom and Google Meet calls are reliable from anchor. Coverage can drop on long open-water passages or in remote anchorages.

What does a typical workday look like?

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.

What happens to my work if the internet drops?

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. Starlink plus shore-based 4G/5G means we have run these trips for years without losing a scheduled call.

Is there power for laptops and devices?

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.

Do I need sailing experience?

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.

What are the cabin and privacy options?

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.

Who else will be on the boat?

Small, curated groups of remote professionals — typically 4–12 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 does Wild Workation sail?

Turkey, Greece, Croatia and Montenegro in the Mediterranean, and Thailand in the Andaman Sea as a winter alternative.

When is the sailing season?

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.

Which destination is best for first-time sailors?

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.

How much does a Wild Workation cost?

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.

What is included in the price?

The boat, a licensed captain, fuel, marina and port fees, end-of-trip cleaning, linen, and groceries for the week. That is our definition of all-inclusive.

What is not included?

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.

What is the difference between a shared offsite and a shared charter?

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.

How big can a team be?

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.

Can the trip be customised for our team?

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.

Why hold an offsite on a boat instead of a venue?

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.

Do you carry insurance for corporate trips?

Yes. RYC-partnered charters carry full commercial insurance, and your HR or legal team can request a copy of the cover certificate in advance.

Can you organize a corporate regatta for our company?

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.

Is this a good fit for a startup retreat or a founders offsite?

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.
