Our sailing tours in Albania follow a coastline that feels refreshingly undiscovered — dramatic mountain cliffs, quiet pebble coves, and small fishing towns like Himara and Sarandë that haven’t yet been reshaped by mass tourism. Every stop brings something different: a hidden beach reachable only by boat, ancient ruins overlooking the sea, or a family-run taverna serving the day’s catch. With us, you won’t just add Albania to a longer itinerary — you’ll experience it as a destination in its own right, one that rewards curiosity and a slower pace.
Chartering a yacht in Albania is an increasingly popular way to explore its still-quiet coastline, with marinas developing in Sarandë and along the Riviera. Choose independent bareboat sailing with a valid license, a fully skippered charter for a relaxed trip, comfortable catamarans for families and groups, or fast motor yachts for covering more coastline in a day. Because the coast is less crowded than its Croatian or Greek neighbors, even a short charter can feel like a private discovery. Whatever your experience level, we’ll help you find the right boat for your Albanian adventure.
Albania’s calm coves and steady summer winds make it a promising, less crowded place to learn sailing along the Adriatic-Ionian coast. Our skipper courses follow ISSA standards, leading to an internationally recognized license valid for life. Sheltered bays near Sarandë and Himara are ideal for beginners building basic boat handling skills, while open stretches toward the Ionian Sea offer more dynamic conditions for progressing sailors. Training combines online theory with hands-on practice at sea, individually or in small groups, on sailing yachts, catamarans, or motor yachts — with fresh Albanian seafood waiting after each day on the water.
Albania’s coastline is short but packed with contrast. The Albanian Riviera, stretching from Vlorë to Sarandë, offers the most dramatic scenery — mountains dropping straight into turquoise water, with towns like Himara and Dhërmi along the way. Near Sarandë, the beaches of Ksamil rival any in the Mediterranean, and the ancient ruins of Butrint sit just around the corner. Every stretch has its own character, and we’ll help you choose the route that fits the trip you’re looking for.
Albania is one of the last quiet corners of the Mediterranean coastline — and we know exactly where to find its best-kept secrets.
Absolutely! Our tours and training programs are designed for both experienced sailors and first-timers. We pay attention to every detail to ensure everyone enjoys a comfortable and safe experience. If a course, program, or tour requires additional preparation or specific experience (for example, a tour to Antarctica, diving with sharks, or climbing a volcano), we will inform you in advance.
You can reach us via the contact form on the website, WhatsApp, phone, or email. We respond quickly and are always happy to help!
Yes, sailing without a skipper in Albania requires a valid skipper’s license officially recognized in the country, such as a national license or an ISSA certificate. If you don’t have one yet, you can complete our ISSA training in advance.
The main sailing season runs from May to October. June and September offer warm water and comfortable temperatures with fewer crowds, while July and August are the hottest and busiest months. Spring and autumn bring lower prices and even quieter marinas than usual.
It depends on the specific tour. Typically included are the yacht itself, a charter pack (bed linen, towels, basic cleaning supplies), and standard equipment. Fuel, marina fees, food, and a skipper (if not already included) are usually paid separately — always check the details of your chosen tour.
Albania’s coastline is compact enough that a single well-planned trip can realistically cover the Riviera’s highlights, from Vlorë to Ksamil and Butrint. It’s one of the few Mediterranean destinations where a shorter trip still feels complete.
