How it works
A week on a sailing workation
From booking to departure — everything you need to know about how a Wild Workation week works.
Book your spot. Browse upcoming departures and choose a route that fits your schedule. We keep groups at a maximum of eight — so before confirming, we send a short application to understand your work setup and goals. Once approved, you receive a detailed welcome brief: what to pack, how to reach the marina, and what to expect on arrival. Payment splits into a deposit now and a final payment 30 days before departure.
Getting there. Most routes depart from a marina reachable by direct flight — typically 2–4 hours from major European cities. Two weeks before departure we send exact meeting point details, a transport guide, and a packing list. No sailing experience needed. Pack light: a laptop, swimwear, and a soft bag. The catamaran, captain, and crew are ready on arrival. On the first evening the group meets for dinner on deck and the captain walks through the week's route.
Your typical day. You wake up in a quiet bay, laptop open by 8–9am. No office noise, no interruptions — just 4–6 hours of focused work before noon. After lunch the anchor lifts and you sail to the next anchorage, reading or watching the coast. Afternoons open up: swimming, snorkeling, a hike, or simply time on deck. Dinner on board or at a local taverna. Evenings are for conversation. The rhythm settles naturally within a day or two.
Work setup. The catamaran has multiple workspaces: a shaded cockpit, an interior saloon table, and open deck areas. Power outlets and USB-C ports throughout. Internet runs via a dedicated 4G router with an external antenna — reliable enough for video calls, large uploads, and async tools. In remote bays speeds may vary; plan accordingly. For quiet calls, step below deck. Mornings at anchor are some of the most distraction-free working conditions you'll ever find.
Activities & sailing. Afternoons belong to you. Swim to ancient Lycian rock tombs, snorkel through underwater caves, hike to a hilltop village, or anchor in a cove that appears on no tourist map. The captain selects anchorages based on weather and group preferences — some days the sail itself is the event. Everything is optional, nothing is scheduled. Most participants find that the freedom to choose — more than any specific activity — is what makes the afternoons genuinely restorative.
The people you'll meet. Groups are capped at eight — small enough that everyone knows everyone by day two. The mix tends to be cross-industry: a developer, a designer, a founder, a consultant, a writer. Sharing a kitchen, navigating an anchorage, and watching a sunset together removes professional distance faster than any team-building exercise. Conversations go deep quickly. By the end of the week most participants have exchanged contacts with everyone on board — and many stay in touch long after.
Heading home. On the final morning the catamaran returns to the departure marina. Most participants leave with a cleared task backlog, new contacts, and a shift in energy that takes a few days to fully register. The reset is real: a different environment, different rhythm, different people — and your brain notices. Tasks that felt stuck have moved. Many book their next workation before the transfer to the airport. Some make it a seasonal habit.

There's nothing more rewarding than receiving feedback. And what words and from what people!
«Gentlemen, that was awesome! One of the best non-vacations of my life. Thank you all!»

«Yes, and I would go as a sailor a couple more times, but I will definitely go, because what I saw, even with the prospect of reduced libations, completely ruined all other possible types of sea recreation.»

«It was my first time on a yacht, and I was worried it would be boring or I'd get seasick, but my concerns were completely unfounded. The sea, sun, fresh air, good company, absence of unnecessary people, sounds and events allowed me to reboot and rethink a lot. The sense of freedom that a yacht gives you is incomparable to anything else.»
