A shared cruise allows you to book just one or more cabins on a catamaran, sharing the rest of the space with other passengers. It’s ideal if you don’t have a large group or want to meet new people. Even on a shared cruise, each cabin has a private bathroom, and there are many spaces to relax privately.

Since 2013, we’ve been running shared cruises without any problems. Here’s why. A lot of people consider this travel option, fewer people seriously contemplate taking it, and even fewer become genuinely excited about it. It’s among this excited group that only a handful make the decision to book. That’s when things truly get interesting.

When you book, it means you share certain attitudes and ideas about life and travel, even if you’re from different parts of the world or different age groups. People who go through the whole booking process usually have a lot in common, so they get along really well, unless someone books a trip that’s not really what they wanted. People who don’t mesh well usually look for different types of holidays.

Every guest (solo or couple) gets their own room and bathroom. There are shared areas on the boat, in the back, on the front and sometimes on the fly bridge of the catamaran, in addition the kite and wing spots are wast at your doorstep, and even more when we get on land. It’s just like other trips where you have your own room but also eat and spend time with other people.

This type of trip is especially great for couples or small groups because they get to meet new people and hear their stories. Often, people who meet on our cruises end up going on more trips together in the future. So, when you book a shared cruise with us, you’re sure to be in good company with others who love adventure and kiteboarding, but you’ll also have your own personal space.

A private cruise refers to a cruise experience that is exclusively reserved for a specific group of people and usually consist of between 2 and 8 people. This could be a family, a group of friends, or even a corporate team allowing for a more intimate and personalized experience.

No. For a private group of 4, the booking process remains the same as for a group of 8, as you’re securing the entire catamaran. The cost breakdown primarily includes expenses associated with the boat rental and services of the crew. However, as the food and drink requirements for a group of 4 would be less than that for a group of 8, we provide a “food and drinks” price reduction for each non-participating person. Thus, your group of 4 would pay less than a full group of 8. Balance is set with your last payment.

Yes, certainly! In addition to being suitable for a family with small kids, this cruise offers a range of activities that children can enjoy. There are ample opportunities for swimming, jumping into the water, and utilizing various water toys that we provide on board. Kids will have plenty of fun and engaging options to keep them entertained throughout the journey.

Yes. While most of our guests are avid kiteboarders, you do not have to participate in the sport to join our trips. Non-kiteboarders are welcome and we ensure there’s plenty of enjoyment to be had onboard for everyone, regardless of their interest in kiteboarding.

Yes. We regularly operate with two catamarans, allowing us to cater to larger groups of up to 18 guests, not counting the crew. To make this happen, however, it’s crucial that you book well in advance to ensure the availability of both boats.

For every booking, we chat with one person. This person is in charge of coordinating payments, providing the details for the crew list document, providing food list preferences, etc.. This applies whether you’re booking a cabin on a shared cruise or a full boat on a private trip.

Joining a kiteboarding cruise is a simple process. You can either organize a Group Booking by assembling a group of friends and book an entire catamaran or Book a double cabin with one other person. In this case, you will be cruising on a yacht with other people who have also booked cabins. 

Regardless of the option you choose, our cruises are all-inclusive. This means you can focus on enjoying the experience, without worrying about the details. We handle all logistics so you can have a good time.

• Pick your desired destination

• Select the dates that work best for you

To make wire payments more convenient for USD transactions, we can provide a US bank account specifically for USD currency. 

If you prefer, you can continue to use a credit card payment method for the second and third payments. However, please note that there will be an additional processing fee of 3% added to the remaining amount.

Our lessons are tailored to your individual needs and goals. We provide one-on-one instruction to ensure personalized attention and maximize your progress. We use the latest equipment and teaching methods to ensure a safe and effective learning experience.

Whether you choose kiteboarding or wing foiling, our instructors will guide you through the fundamentals, including kite control, board skills, and safety procedures. With their expertise and support, you’ll gain confidence and proficiency in no time.

Taking kite/wing/foil lessons from a boat provides several advantages. Firstly, the instructor is always within close proximity to the student, enabling them to provide guidance and feedback in real-time while ensuring the student’s safety. The instructor can also escort the student with a motorboat, bringing them upwind and saving them time and energy that would otherwise be spent walking back upwind on the beach or water. Moreover, during a brief break-up-wind drive, students can receive additional tips on how to improve their skills and take a well-deserved break.

Yes, beginners are absolutely welcome. Our certified instructors and safe, flat spots provide an ideal environment for learning.

Normally, we can handle 2-3 people in a group who require constant support, while still keeping the rest of the confident riders safe. Since they spend less time on the water while still learning, we line up lessons and assistance back-to-back to keep everyone safe. Decisions regarding the schedule are made thoughtfully, based on the conditions of the kite/wing spot, wind, and the skill levels of the participants.

We highly recommend that guests pre-book lessons and assistance to secure their time slots, as this also enables us to guarantee the execution of these lessons. To further encourage advance bookings, we offer lesson packages at discounted rates, with options for a package of three or eight hours’ worth of lessons.

When it comes to larger groups of beginners, we get creative with scheduling to maximize water time for everyone. We also bring in additional help, provided we know in advance.

People who don’t require additional lessons but need more practice can bring or rent equipment and receive take “Assistance” service. Assistance service includes motor-boat escort, assistance with kite setup, and safety checks. It is ideal for those who need more practice to become independent upwind riders. Please note that kite gear is not included in the service.
