Elmár Sailing Omdömen 

I’ve now sailed twice with Elmar - in Thailand and Ibiza - and both trips have been amazing.

Having experienced these trips firsthand, I appreciate just how much planning and organisation goes into making them happen. From start to finish, everything felt seamless.

Our Ibiza and Formentera trip ran from 10–17 October, with 46 people across five boats. The area is stunningly beautiful, and we explored at a wonderful leisurely pace, making time to enjoy nature, sunrises and sunsets, idyllic bays, swimming, group meals, a little dancing, some singing and plenty of laughter.

Sailing is freedom - the freedom to slow down, connect with nature, embrace the moment and meet some truly amazing people along the way.

If you’re thinking about joining one of Elmar’s trips, I couldn’t recommend the experience more highly. 🌊⛵️

It was my first sailing trip and I had a great time sailing with Elmar Sailing. I would definitely do it again and recommend it to anyone who is thinking of sailing with them.

What a great sailing experience in Ibiza, Formentera and the surrounding areas!! ⛵️☀️

A week full of joy, sunshine, sailing, swimming, bachata classes and some really lovely people I’ve met along the way 🫶🏻

The whole trip exceeded my expectations!

Thank you, Sergy, and thank you, Elmár Sailing, for such an amazing experience! ❤️

I am simply delighted! The emotions from this trip haven't left me for a whole month, and I would gladly repeat the experience. The team was wonderful: friendly and attentive. Everything was very well organized, from the route to the activities. The week was rich, interesting and full of unforgettable moments. Thank you so much for this adventure, and I hope to sail with you again!

As a beginner with no sailing experience , i felt safe and welcomed:). It was a memorable and amazing adventure!

The best vacations I had with Elmarsailing. It was third. It’s about high lever of service, amazing people, light energy, like-minded community. Best recommendations 🔥

Great hands-on learning.
I've took my inshore skippers licence with them and it was a life changing experience.

A great trip with new people.
Well organised. Good fun.
Great to sail the catamaran.
Amazing locations and scenery.

Together with my company Higher Love Society, we organized a unique sailing experience in Croatia with Elmar Sailing. We sailed with two catamarans and brought together 18 singles from all over the world for an unforgettable week of adventure, connection, and freedom.

From the very first moment, everything was perfectly organized. Every day brought a new experience: discovering beautiful bays, swimming in crystal-clear waters, snorkeling, diving from the boat, enjoying delicious food, dancing, singing, and creating memories together.

What made this trip truly special was the atmosphere on board. It was a safe and open environment where everyone could be themselves, connect with others, and enjoy the magic of the sea. The boats became our floating homes, and connecting the catamarans created a beautiful sense of community.

Skippers Sergy and Aanan were professional, relaxed, and always open to feedback and ideas from the crew. They truly listened to what the group needed and made sure everyone felt included and comfortable.

I would highly recommend Elmar Sailing to anyone who wants to travel solo but doesn’t want to travel alone. Whether you love the ocean, sunshine, adventure, or meaningful connections with people from around the world, this is an experience you won’t forget.

Thank you Elmar Sailing, Sergy, Aanan and all the amazing people on board for an fantastic week on the water. 🌊❤️

A wonderful time on a spacy catamaran with great people and even greater captain.
The quick bond made with other co-sailors, the perfect integration of the captain with the team, the itinerary, the attention to crew's wishes and needs, the sunsets, the parties, the sharing of food and drinks, the laughs, the sea, all made this trip unforgettable.
I m looking forward to next adventures with Elmar sailing.

Very great experience. I had a wonderful time with beautiful people in a beautiful environment.

The group we sailed with was very diverse and the connection was just fantastic. I had a great week and gained a lot of experience.

From my initial enquiry to my call with the Captain to booking to arriving and meeting my fellow sailors to the actual sailing - everything was seamless, easy and an absolute pleasure!
We met as 10 strangers and ended our trip like family, having made ever-lasting friendships.
Some of us are even planning to do another trip together later this year.
Elmár Sailing manages the daily sailing plan and the swimming stops in crystal blue water were breathtaking as were the sunsets. Skinny dipping at sunrise proved tricky considering the swim deck ladder but we succeeded!
Experienced and knowledgeable skipper, alongside a professional and fun approach from Elmár make this a 10/10 experience and one I will happily recommend to all !

Initial interview was good . Location of Aeolian islands was fantastic . The catamaran was clean and comfortable and the paddle boards were fun . The most hands off skipper I’ve ever met - wouldn’t even make a cup of tea . Very poor food planning - spent thousands of euros on a shopping list for the week and no meal planning . I had to step up and make/ lay out breakfast first morning as no one around and others hungover . Chaotic management of rogue client who wanted to do his own thing , eat what he wanted , insisted on us drinking his wine he’d bought then wanted refunding , partying til late and throwing up in cabin loo keeping others awake with radio at 3 am .
Went off and bought seafood for 100s of euros without asking and didn’t want to eat what we’d bought . Used communal kettle to brew up his tea in morning with cloves and spices despite us asking him not to as it flavoured the water .
Skipper did not take control of the situation which spoiled it for many of us . He did however make sure that the smokers stayed at the back of the boat . When discussed as a group , client then said he’d make his own food which meant that when we were cooking for 8 he’d be using all the pans and the gas …
The trip itself was well planned and stunning with chance to climb volcanoes .
I’d asked to have some tuition in the week as I’d just got my Day skipper , but despite asking several times nothing happened .
I’ve been on lots of sailing trips and as crew with 12 others and have never encountered this before .
Regarding safety - a fellow client wanted to be in charge for the week for experience . There were several occasions when he was unsure what to do and myself and another sailor were helping him whilst the skipper relaxed on the deck .
I won’t be sailing with Elmar sailing again .
Sailed September 2025

Sailing with El mar sailing has been a great finding , its a fun nice way to sail while meeting new people. It was an unexpected experience which delivered much more fun, complicity, team work than I expected! Living a sweet, comfortable, relax and greatful feeling and a desire for the next adventure! I do defenetely recommend it!

Sailing in the Canaries was truly a beautiful experience. This week long trip brought together good people who became a crew, fun times and beautiful sights. I really enjoyed life on a catamaran, somehow felt quite spacious. Got to sail alongside dolphins which was an experience I will never forget. All of this while the rest of Europe was freezing!

great company camaraderie within the group and also the choice to get involved with the sailing steering the boat or just watching everything
Few issues with the food or the drink but small and paddleboard could of taken more air as unable to stand on it - not sure if there was a pump on deck

My first yachting trip — and definitely not my last!

There is something magical about being out at sea. No rush, no endless to-do lists, no overthinking. Just the wind, the water, good people, and the feeling that you're exactly where you need to be.

One of the most exciting moments was meeting the crew for the first time. At the beginning, we were all complete strangers, not knowing what to expect from each other. But thanks to our captain Sergy thoughtful approach to bringing the right people together, everyone felt comfortable, included, and free to be themselves from day one. It didn't take long for awkward introductions to turn into genuine conversations, shared laughs, and unforgettable memories.

It's hard to explain, but yachting gave me that rare feeling of freedom and being fully present in the moment. And that's something worth coming back for.

Sergy is a great teacher, yacht master and just an awesome guy. Very knowledgeable and humble. We've interacted with Sergy multiple times over multiple yacht trips and he was always willing offer advice and help out with anything sailing related. We've also chartered yachts with his help and the price was always right. Can't sing enough praise for Elmar sailing and its boss, the one and only Sergy Almer

I really enjoyed the freestyle nature of my sailing trip with Elmár. We explored Sicily in a relaxed, chilled way. The sailing was handled professionally, allowing the small group on board to do as they please. It's a memory I'm pleased to have stored and loved the experience.
