Regatta Ruta de la Sal Tour: Valencia, Denia, San Antonio de Portamany in Ibiza and return to Valencia
This year also, one of our ships will take exclusively female crew. If you prefer to participate in that one, Women-only crew, and of course you’re a woman (Crashing is not allowed), send us an email or call us. The rest of the crew will be mixed, as always.
In addition, for this edition, some of our ships will also participate in the Mini-Sal (see details below)
Price per place: 575 € Reservation: 175 €
The regatta has three routes, the North version, the West version and the East version. The North route starts in Port Ginesta (Barcelona), West route sails from the Andratx port in Palma and the East route starts in Denia (Alicante). The destination of both routes is Sant Antoni de Portmany in Ibiza. 200 ships (about 75 per route) and its crews gather annually to participate in this popular race.
Mini-sal is also a race starting in Denia, but with a shortened route, it is only for charter ships and only the use of the mainsail and the Genoa sail is allowed.
The fundamental advantage is that it is a shorter route so you can enjoy one more day in Ibiza.
The race is on Thursday 9 and the Awards Party will be held the night of the Holy Saturday. We have all Sunday to return from Ibiza to Valencia.
Participate with Singles and non-singles in this crowded race, don't miss it and don't miss your place. Come to enjoy a different Holy Week aboard a sailboat and meet fun singles and remember, you don’t need experience, another skilled crew will teach you everything you need to know.

The planned route for this trip is not contractual. The itineraries and routes envisaged in this journey are indicative and are usually feasible at the time of the year in which they are scheduled. Adverse weather conditions and / or safety reasons of the crew or ship, and / or uncomfortable conditions of wind and wave navigation can vary this route, without thereby generating the right to claim. The employer is the only authority on board and his decisions on security issues are final. Fortunately, there are many alternative routes for this journey that are attractive enough.
We remind you, as in all sailboat sailing, that the weather conditions may alter the planned plan so that the trip can start after the indicated and end before or after and / or in another port, so you must evaluate the convenience of hiring travel assistance insurance to cover possible expenses in case of bad weather, for example. We also remind you of the convenience of not hiring plane, train or ferry tickets very close in time at the expected time of landing due to possible delays.
We also remind you that sailing holidays are a participatory activity in which crew members must take care of the tasks on board. In turns, we will cook, we will scrub the kitchen utensils, we will maintain the cleanliness and we will even make guards during the night navigation and we will help the patron in the maneuvers with the candles, the anchorage, etc.
