How fixed is the route?
Pre-set, but flexible by ±1 day or ±1 anchorage if the fleet votes. The lead boat's job is to get you to a marina each evening with a berth waiting — that requires planning.
Do I have to do everything with the group?
No. Daily activities are optional. Some couples skip the group dinners; some boats peel off for half a day. As long as you reach the evening marina, you're free.
What if I haven't sailed for a couple of years?
Flotilla is the format. You'll have a refresher with the lead skipper on day 1, and the daily briefings cover anchoring + docking specific to the day's marina.
Can kids come?
Absolutely — flotillas are the most kid-friendly format. Other families in the fleet, evening activities, fleet rhythm (early starts, early dinners) suits them.
When do flotillas run?
June to mid-September in the Mediterranean. Saturday-to-Saturday. Calendar published 6 months ahead — 8-12 per season.
Spain gives you two very different sailing worlds inside one country. The Balearic Islands sit in warm, clear Mediterranean water with short hops between anchorages and a busy but manageable summer scene. The Canaries, out in the Atlantic off Africa, are for people who want swell, trade winds, and a longer sailing day. Between them sit Catalonia's Costa Brava and the flatter Alicante coast. We keep coming back for the water colour off Menorca and the calas you can only reach by boat.
Sailing in company — the guided group experience
A flotilla is a small group of yachts sailing a set route together, led by a crew on a lead boat. You sail your own yacht, but never alone — a daily briefing, a hand into harbour and someone to call if anything's unclear.
It's the reassuring step up from a skippered week for newer skippers, and a sociable one: fixed departure dates, shared anchorages and a route the lead crew knows cold.
